A guy just can't get away with nothing anymore!!! But what's life without a little humor.. I really don't go out of my way to collect government traps but this thread got me thinking. So I gathered up the traps I have with gov. stamps or parts and I am starting to accumulate a few.

The tip of one blade is broke off but now it makes a good flat head screw driver. Seriously - if any of you guys have any to sale let me know.

Talked to some old retired Game Dept. guys and they said they were used at fish hatcheries to catch Great Blue herons. Anyone else seen these? George BRady
