Haus trapper Registered: 12/23/06 Posts: 1451 Loc: North Central Arkansas	Big 8. You might have more money than me, but I would just weld a bead on the end of the pan and make a new lip. Wouldn't take much. haus _________________________ A bobcat in your trap at 5:00am is better than a stout cup of coffee anyday.

Once the trap is bedded, the jaws can be held with the thumb and index finger and the pan lowered. _________________________ PTA Life ~ NCTA ~ NTA ~ FTA ~ NRA
