Very tough. I stand on mine when I need to reach up a little bit but don't want to grab a ladder for something quick. NRA benefactor member

I like the way that they nest inside one another to save space, but you must make certain that nothing obstructs them from closing completely. I'm just a soul whose intentions are good. O Lord please don't let me be misunderstood.

I have repaired the wire on the pans on some and also the bar can be fixed up. These are the gravity close type with no bait door or container. I stake them well so the coons don't tip them over.

Deep hole might make that a bit harder. I like hanging the bait better. Never thought of that, thanks for the insight! Act like a blank, get treated like a blank. Insert your own blank!

I'm just a soul whose intentions are good. O Lord please don't let me be misunderstood.
