I have to many irons in the fire to be working on traps in the off season. I rather purchase a trap that does not need to be modified. My traps are double base plated with cast jaws that are tipped, #2 music wire springs, pit pan, night latched with center D ring, #2 straight link chain with 2 or3 swivels. I take them out of the box, wax them and set them. No modification needed. I am just to lazy to modify traps any more. ;D

I hear you about that. I have made so many different tools over years. I just no longer have time to mess with it anymore. I have so much going on, I just can't work on things like I use too.

I did get out there today and made a skinning pole that will fit in my receiver hitch. I am also working on a fleshing beam that will fit in the receiver hitch.

Todd, me and Mr. Hardy were talking today about the corn field trapping. For starters down where Mr. Hardy is about 150 miles south of me, they are harvesting corn right now. They will be harvesting corn in my area in the next few weeks as it will be dry enough. Your corn was still green when I was up there and you said they start the harvest in Nov. This is a huge difference for us, our corn is gone by the time trapping season rolls around. We can catch them scrapping the corn fields but not like they are in when it is on the stalk. I will be trying a different tactic this season with the DP's I picked up at the NTA. I have four corn fields to trap this year, maybe more. I will have to try to figure them out.
I still say run half triger on DP's to catch coons. LOL. 25lbs coons ha? I have never seen but one or two that went over 20lbs, let alone a pile like that.

Ya, and them things aren't in style like our coons. With global warming and all, the fashion is thinner fur so they can wear it, look good and not burn up. Our fur is fashion fur, those things are for keeping warm.

A #11 is hard to beat as an all around water coon trap,they hold mink and otter too.On land #1 and#11/2 coilsprings are hard to beat.I personally have taken many coons in 220 conibears on land in certain situations,where there were no incidental dog or cat problems,all in blind trail sets,no buckets.In these certain situations,220 or 160 conibears can be the most efficient manner to harvest coons in great numbers.
