Didn't figure it was just me being humorous Next tip will b a small pebble setting at pivot point of jaws to help bed the trap solid.

I still stand by my first response. This is a terrible idea. 
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

Man after all the talk about legends from this guy and how people should just follow him to save trapping on his other posts . Im thinkin this guy actually drank the bong water or is a anti I never asked you or anybody to follow me, just let me advise you and provide recommendations to help you guys since incompetence seems to run deep in NM. Remember my state wasnt the one that lost public land trapping, LTAHA actually knows what its doing. Tight lines!

I think there is a flat tool that you can put under the pan to allow you to pack dirt around the pan. The tool keeps you from firing it. You still need something to keep the dirt from getting under your pan. But. You have to remove the tool. When finished. That’s the only way I can think of doing that! This might be what he is thinking about. I don’t know.

Think your talking about the Mitlyng Trap Bedder? Used to use the Trapper Caps but the mitlyng would be a bit more universal though you can still get some loose stuff under the pan, which really wouldnt be a problem unless you get a hard rain followed by a freeze before you can rework the bed.

To be quite honest I'd like to know the full extent of you working with government. I'm not one to pry but u have brought it up numerous times and I do believe an explanation is needed. I'd also be interested in what you do for a living were your income comes from. U have avoided these questions in the past and it makes it look suspicious. Especially when u come in with all the ideas to " save trapper" from themselves. You want validity to you trying to lead trapping to a new future I think some answers would be justified. If not I think a good explanation is in order.

For those that doubt, Louisiana led the world in trapping for so long, even 30 years of relative non trapping hasnt been enough for you guys to catch up. We caught in 1 year, what it would take the other top state 4 years in muskrat. We wiped out muskrat, beaver, alligator, wolf, cougar, jaguar, bear. If the old timers down here tell you a method, its tried and true. They made due and figured out how to use what was available in nature at the time. They had to go everywhere by pirogue, and trapped marsh, swamp, forest, muddy bottom, sandy bottom, the list goes on and on.
Aix's post breaks it down perhaps better for some, I dont use it all the time but it will be in my toolbox for a later date. I kind of doubt LA led the world in trapping. Some Northern folks would have something to say about that. I think folks in Hudson Bay area and the Rockies have done more for the trapping and fur industry than your Louisiana guys. But hey, you seem to know it all so come on up and show us how it's done. I'm betting that stick trick wouldn't work so well up here with snow.

Remember my state wasnt the one that lost public land trapping,
We (hunters and trappers) are all in it together. It doesn’t matter what your targets are or what state you live in. It’s very similar to gun ownership. Banning of one type is bad for owners of all types, and the antis will never, ever be satisfied. Just because they get something banned doesn’t mean they’ll stop. Quite the opposite in my opinion. They see their twisted victories as a reason to keep pushing. They’re well funded, well organized, and often times making decisions based on emotions. A setback in New Mexico is a shame and a potential future threat for Louisiana trappers and hunters. LTAHA actually knows what its doing. Tight lines! I agree with that. I think the organization is in good hands and run by people that actually care about what they’re doing.

So you holier than thou trappers-tell me-what is the benefit of ridiculing a greenhorn who is interested in promoting trapping and the trapping lifestyle? Keep on alienating,some so called trappers are the best tools the antis have I swear.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.
