I would set a 330 in front of it. Problem was it was under six feet of water. I looked around and proceed to undres I learned just how cold it is in the creek. I got the trap set and will hopefully get one. I'm guessing that makes me a hardcore trapper now. My dad says anyone who wwalks four miles up and down the bluffs and get naked to set water sets is either insane or hard core. Just had to share that with you guys. I will post pics of anything I catch. Don't worry I will be fully clothed INVEST IN AMERICA BUY A CONGRESSMAN

Hard core is not what I was thinking about your decision. Thank God For Your Blessings! Never Half-Arse Anything! Resource Protection Service
