Freeze and use any kind of saw.
Boco couldn't catch a cold. But if he did, it would be Top Lot.

Easy to handle with a good ax. I chop a few into chunks at a stop and it lasts for four or five stops. No mess and blood. I just throw a 25# box in the truck every morning still frozen. This time of the year it will taint fast if you are using pockets so if it is frozen when you use it , it will stay fresh longer. You do not need a saw. That is a mess every time. LLL

The most successful coon bait I've used was ground carp with anise oil in it. (not anus oil) I don't know anything about this, I have had anise oil lure, for coon, was reading that it is a poor attracter for coon, I don't know why that would be though

Yes I chop of froze fish or head an what left it after was fillet, got 4 big buckets fish, I don't have time to do lots trapping with pockets, seems like a lot but maybe last 6 weeks, if u were running 80 pockets a day, that little but fish would make it maybe 5 days an out, I chop up frozen with ax at home bfore go an out in pocket frozen, yes it better it nor warm weather, spoils in pocket. Lot times it warm in December, chop a big carp head in half ? U can ? Some heads I got are pretty big

Lot times it warm in December, chop a big carp head in half ? U can ? Some heads I got are pretty big When I run for coon, I would use a five gallon bucket of heads a day. I prefer them in boxes because I can pry them apart easier than in buckets and they do not stack well in the freezer in round buckets. All of my lines would have around 100 stops or 200 pockets and I was usually running two and sometimes three lines. I am afraid I have ran my last long lines for at least a few years. The will is strong but the market is weak. LLL
