Cost about .25 cent apeice. $25 bucks/per hundred is a good trade to save my back and increase efficiency. Last edited by Swamp Wolf; 11/26/20 09:19 PM. Thank God For Your Blessings!

Now have super stakes for coyotes, and either berks or pogos for my coon traps and snares. Jim Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

I'm probably gonna try my luck at setting some cable restraints this year though and am not sure how well they will work if the ground is frozen completely solid... Truth is treason in the empire of lies.
