Not sure what to use for some visual at the remake though.... Actually caught 2 this morning luckily the other one wasn't as ambitious. Maybe he was union. Lol

I have had some go so deep with a longer chain I couldn't see them at all. That was a challenge and time wasted. www.jamesonsultrablend.com www.wildlifepestcontrolservices.com

Lol Bob short chains are a blessing when u hook a badger That wouldn't be a step down set, more like a fall down set! Definitely committed!
