lmao fat cat, might have to take a nephew with me this year

Yep, they think hauling out all that muddy wet fur is FUN!

better them than me hah!

Fill coffee cans with Quikrete cement mix. Put an eyelet in it before it hardens. Makes an excellent drowning line weight. Drop them in place before season . Excellent drag weights too.

I used those for years, Also discarded bulldozer teeth wired together as 'coon drags.

grab a ziplock sandwich bag and stick your cell phone in it if your water trapping or in rainy weather

here is a great one. never, ever pee directly into the wind..lol

paint all of you tools blaze orange so if you drop them in deeper water you can find them

I use vegetable oil with shellfish oil also works pretty good.

When it is cold and rainy outside, stay warm and dry inside.

best advise I ever got bout trapping was KISS it. I gewt out there and WAY over think it.Got a lesson or two on blind sets yesterday and guess what the beginning and end of the learning was about...............Keep it simple stupid!

gewt?

That is too simple for me to even understand!

gewt= swaheli for fat fingers. LOL

no matter what happens in your travels .............once in awhile just smile

Gotta do that ..otherwise you'll go crazy!

UP

Buy a d-handle for your trowel, it makes digging a hole alot easier in my opinion

I have saved those little plastic containers that individual size jello or pudding comes in.
These make great bait and/or lure holders for cage trapping.
Cat food 'tins' also work well and will hold up better than plastic but even some 'coon will 'eat' those every once in a while. Cheap enough to replace though...

LT, do you think they would work good in dirtholes like film canisters do?

i think that they would, anything to keep the ground from soaking it up
