very impressive....but I don't think I have enough life left..... for a project like that .....Thanks for sharing Fin

If I had my shop built, I'd be making a few hog traps. And fixing up my old one.

I've got enough for 1 trap myself....just haven't seen the first hog up here, there around..... just not on my place....was going to try and use it for a few coyotes, but worried the neighbors dogs would get trapped and die before I got back to my place in the hills
I had projects planed to do....till someone decided they needed my metal more then me....darn scrap en thieves :boohoo:

Probably for the best, those yotes are probably the smartest and wariest wild land mammal on the continent. Catching one in a live trap would be a tall order.

Maybe it's just a coincidence but I've been seeing more and more the past few years. Driving from Al-La late night and early morning, it's about guaranteed I'll see quite a few. I always see quite a few around that space center near the MS/La state line. I guess they're higher on the food chain than most wildlife around here.

They are EVERYWHERE!
This week leaving the GSPPier right at dusk I saw a coyote step out of the burn area onto the ROW as I passed in the curves at the NW end of Lake Shelby.

My Winter Project was building a "New and Improved" Ghost Shrimp Pump :yippee:
