Nice video.

You didn't really hammer on the kitchen table, though, did you?

Tony, Check my link out. Here are some pics of a line tightener available at most hardware stores (Ace, True Value and Do-it Best Centers):

The ball bearings lock against the cable:



The t-shaped end is spring loaded to hold pressure on the ball bearings:



and the stepped cone end will fit down into several diameter pipes (3/4" - 1" maybe):



From the link you can see they are less than $3 a piece. Sorry for the blurry cell phone pics.

TJ, that is an old wood table in the basement (aka Manland )

So it was alright LOL

I thought there had to be something else to the story, but you had it covered with some sort of table cloth, so wasn't sure....

I had to chuckle, as it was something I would do.

Some wd-40 or spray silicone will take care of sticky locks,ive used mine for 5+ years no problems.Never broke one either.If coon is caught by back foot,put noose around neck,stretch coon out and stand on his chest,they die in under 2 minutes.If he is caught by front feet,noose him,pin his head down,grab his back feet,then stand on his chest.Put as much weight as u can on his chest.U have to be careful,coon are tough and THEY DO BITE.Wear good thick leather gloves and be careful.Dont recommend inexperienced trappers try this till u get some experience handling animals.I catch 50+ coon a year and have not shot one for some time.I like to put both my holes in the end of pvc cap,but does it make a difference.Same for fox or coyote.
