Thanks for the nice comments

I had to really cut the video, wanted more explaining of it and its use

Anybody have a picture of a locking device that could be added so it could be used for releasing. Thanks

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.
