I think I could have made those head rails work for a drag to prevent my set from being torn up too much. I have used lots of old furniture, box springs and an old toilet at times for a drag. In Kansas around those old homesteads there is usually plenty of scraped materials lying around or still in the house or cabin.

I retired in 2013, started trapping again in 2014. I’ve caught 24 fisher in those 10 seasons. There’s a lot of them here, and they are no smarter than a possum. And with that big mitt for a foot, they don’t pull out easily. I’ve found Gusto lure to be indispensable when it comes to catching them.
