There were some pretty cool traps showed up for a small gathering. And I really appreciated the knowledge and camaraderie that was shared. A big thanks to all that attended and made it happen. Will post some more pics later.......

I'm interested in learning more about that trap. I so see a PSW with mushroom jaw in the price guide but no pic. When there is shot in the air, there is hope. When in doubt, throttle out!
