I got some 1/4" laminations from JC Conner and we had a warm day so I put some on. Last edited by Flipper 56; 12/29/24 01:19 PM.

Thanks guys, I like them because they are big enough for a beaver and here we can have them on dry land so they work well on a crossover for beaver and otter. The weight drowns them quickly. They bed very well and won't freeze in a coyote set. It's also a nostalgia thing for me as well. "Where Can A Man Find Bear Beaver And Other Critters Worth Cash Money When Skinned?"

Laminating long springs IMO slows down a trap thats pretty slow to start with. You will miss some cats you would have caught without them. Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)

Danny, we don't have a Bobcat season in my county, so that will keep me from turning one loose. They are going to get a season next year in the southern part of the state. I have never caught one or seen any signs around here. I have coil spring traps that I use most of the time, but I like these for certain things. I am playing around at this point in my life and not working at trapping very hard. Last edited by Flipper 56; 12/29/24 01:03 PM.
