Gang, do yall have a favorite thing to tinker with?
I just like finding old #1 and
1.5 longs and turning them into #11 and #2 longs…
Just something about double spring traps for me.

To me making that #1 into a #11 really does make it twice the trap.


Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.

Used to be waxing traps and seeing how they look when dry! Now it’s tanning!

I enjoy fine tuning them.


I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

I like setting them and not having to tinker with them at all.


It’s deer hunting, not deer passing.

If I have a tag, I’m ready to drag.

Not tinkering, but really enjoy scouting new places and formulating a game plan. Keeping catch
records is fun also.

I like to fool with drag / chain set ups and rub posts (premade and portable).

Tinkering? I don’t even like repairing them after they have been run over.
