M. Howard OP trapper Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 4,874 Louisiana	I just ordered another 2 dozen new RC 550 to go with the 3 dozen I bought at the NTA last summer. Still haven't set them. I figure if the 550 would not catch it I would try the 450 FH and see how it worked out. Heck I just ordered 5 dozen of them too. Going to put extra swivel in the middle of the chain and 12" super stakes on. Y'all think them things will work?????? If nothing else I am going to hoard some traps. All them folks hoarding toilet paper and such, I am hoarding me some steel traps. I can wipe my (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) with leaves if needed.

Steel is going through the roof and supplies of everything is getting low. Funny, the majority of my existing 550's have the old original crock dog they came with back in the day. Still holds coyotes by two toes. I need to come in here more offend that is for sure. You can't fix stupid, but you can vote! http://www.louisianatrappers.com/index.html
