The trap will be modified. And drowner system. Just got a dozen perfect for the job off the trap shed. Thank you Mn Cedar. With low prices if I miss so what and lesson learned. Get the US out of the UN and the UN out of the US.

That is one thing I am going to do along with base plate and center swivel. It will be on a drowner. Missouri was populated with otters caught in 11s . Just want to see if it can be done and if I lose one it will likely end up in a nearby belise. Get the US out of the UN and the UN out of the US.
