Caught with a magnum Senneker kill spring on a trigger. Very little disruption at the snare site. Reused the bottle neck even.

NonPCfed trapper Joined: Dec 2015 Posts: 6,341 se South Dakota	I bought this fairly tough home tanned digger skin at a local rummage sale a numbers a years ago. I paid $5 for it, sold it on eBay for either $20 or 25, maybe even a bit north of $25, I can't remember for sure. Coon a lot more plentiful than a badger but 5xl aren't that common. If that hide has some serious length, I'd tan it, snare mark and all... "And God said, Let us make man in our image �and let them have dominion �and all the creatures that move along the ground".
