MattLA, so if a person can't afford/find what supplies are needed to trap furbearers, and trap them RESPONSIBLY AND ETHICALLY, DONT TRAP UNTIL YOU CAN DO IT THE RIGHT WAY!! No bunny hugger here, but you absolutely OWE it to the animal you're targeting to use the right equipment, period!!! So because you can't afford rebar or cable/chain(with SWIVELS)that makes it ok to use whatever you THINK will be "good enough"???! YOU are the exact type of bonehead that peta LOVES!!!! I can't imagine how tickled they'd be to see this thread and then spread your irresponsible and ignorant info around as an example of how all trapper's are and how barbaric we are!! How dare you even call yourself a trapper! Here's a tip for ya from a legend, If you have so much money you can afford anything, GO BUY THE RIGHT EQUIPMENT and quit spreading unethical trapping methods!! Thank you.

On topic low income tip:
I take old steak knives, hundreds at yard sales for 25¢ each.
(usually the cheap serrated kind) Cut them down with an angle grinder and reshape into triangular pelters. Then grind the bevels back and sharpen

Great advice for the poor trapper, except they have to own an angle grinder to grind everything, lol. That’s like all these guys that do mods but can’t afford the good stuff that doesn’t need mods. They have all the equipment already, which cost $$$. I’d just spend it on traps and whatever else is needed.

It's fairly clear he is a troll that is on tMan to stir people up. He probably is a PETA guy in disguise. Sooner or later others will probably figure him out to be a fraud. By arguing with him it seems you guys are giving him what he wants. That's how agitators operate anyway. Just my opinion. Moderators should probably just give a guy like this the boot.
