Never had Hagz back then. Good job. Keep at it and have fun NYSTA, NTA, FTA, life member Erie county trappers assn.,life member Catt.county trappers

Nothing is worse than getting to a set, and find a circle with no animal, and the end of the chain attatched to a stake. Or a pulled stake! It is better to be safe than sorry. It is good to make your own stuff, but make sure it is sufficient! To check if they are strong enough, put your foot on one end and pull as hard as you can, if they open up, they aren't strong enough.

Just don't want you to have things like I said happen, it is easy to underestimate a critters strength and will to live! Good luck to you, young man!

EXACTLY why you’d be smart to be ready to hold coon and otter. www.sevenoakstrappingsupplies.com for trap mods and gear The 10 Commandments are not suggestions.

Some of those nails are bet at very sharp angles on very short radius which probably weakened them substantial.

Some of those nails are bet at very sharp angles on very short radius which probably weakened them substantial. I’m not using these traps for coon. The only coon would be accidentally And i believe it can hold. How should I test and see if they could hold. Because if there is no way to know I don’t know why I wasted my time. Should I just buy stuff. Last edited by GoneTrappin.; 08/01/20 09:55 PM.
