T have set in a deer stand and watched gray fox working two of my sets across a 35 acre or so field. They were bouncing up and down in the directrion of the sets, like kids bouncing in a carnival bubble. It was a very interesting and informative morning. Adios, 45/70, RKBA!

I'M THE MAD TRAPPER THAT NIGHTMARES ON RAT RIVER ARE MADE OF Set simple & set often...you'll catch fur. Common sense on the traplines goes a long way.

45/70 trapper 4 Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 3,847 Georgia	If you are asking do we get a winnter migration of hawks into our area, the answer is yes. However, we are sort of a stop over, and then most of them move on further South. The marsh hawks, for the most part, follow this pattern, but they arrive later and stay longer. However, we do have some marsh hawks that winter with us. Adios, 45/70
