The joys of trapping in Summer cement! That junk is soft and slick when wet and you sometimes wonder if it’ll hold, when it dries it’s almost chisel time. I’ve learned my properties over the years and know just how far I need to drive an anchor. Some places with normal dirt I can go 14” or so. Other spots 6-8” will hold anything we got down here, and you’ll still soak a shirt getting it out!! I can just about go by feel when driving the anchor in, lol.

Figured I better get them out today while the ground is still wet from this week's rain. Let it dry and I'd need an air hammer to chip them out.

I had a BT 45 auger years ago. Made some deep dirt holes with it. Unless a coyote brought a friend to hold its tale. It wasn’t getting the bait 20 inchs down

If you set dry and have to chip out a trap bed, you KNOW it’s going to be heck getting them out. Too soft (very rare) or too hard now get a drag.

Round here when are ground gets really dry or frozen I use a wide stone chisel. Broke many a sob buster hammer trying to dig hard ground with it. Plus chisel makes a much cleaner trap bed. When dry our ground will come out in fist size chunks is you try digging it with sod buster, which can make for some over sized ugly beds.

I've just never got used to the idea of leaving stuff behind on others land. I've had to leave a few till thaw but I've always cleaned them up. I had two break the chain trying to pull them but I still came back and dug them up.

I remember some 25 years ago, someone had cassette tapes (remember those) of R.D. Mercers stuff they had recorded off the radio. We sat around a picnic table after dark and laugh towerasses off listening to those tapes.

Good one Yes Sir!
I can't remember who he called, but my favorite prank call was when he ask a guy how big a ol boy are ya and the guy said "about 6'5 and I go about 275#. I trained for hand to hand combat in the Marines".
Roy didn't miss a beat. He said Oh that's just (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) whippin size!

Alternate lifestyles fashion aside, Savell, don't y'all have coyotes down east? All I ever see you post is what looks like inbred, mangy, transient yard dogs.
I know they all need killin, but dang. At least your cats look mostly decent.

Used to listen to Phil and Brent on KMOD just about every morning. Pretty big shock when I heard of Phil's death.
My favorite day to listen... I believe it was Tooooos-dee.
They also had another character, Dick Lexía the Dyslexic Weatherman. How they managed to avoid FCC fines with that bit is beyond me.

Ha some logger from Ky started it all. He is prolly still smartin that your Unclr Jay didn't hire him as a boat navigator.

You should find him on line and do some of your photo chopping until he learns to appreciate it.
