Those spikes would be slightly angled up so the seal could come up but not go down - my guess only, About 20 years ago a guy used to put large conibear traps over seal holes and get them.

I will throw in an unused copy of the Alaska wolf Trapping manual + $500 It seams to me you did use the trapping manual and did not like it. so is the $500 reward real? Or is this just scam? Life is hard. It's even harder if your stupid!

There was a very similar contraption used for bears, and made by a blacksmith back east somewhere around 1900, they apparently worked extremely well and were outlawed shortly after. And the bunny huggers think our traps today are "inhumane".

So I am going to remove it from the reward(can't say I blame them for not wanting it). Instead I am gonna up the reward by offering $500 and an Alaskan # 9 wolf trap. Surely someone can be incentivized now.

I was told that during the depression that guys would take a 55 gal.drum and cut it in a few places on one end and bend them in and bait the barrel. The pieces that were cut were bent inwards so the bear could stick his head in but not get it out.
