Neill, how often do you come to the 757? I am limited on time with a young family but would love to tag along sometime. I live in Smithfield. PM me if you get back this way this season. |

I finished pulling this line today, and by the time I was done I needed a pep talk! Bitter cold, wind and driving rain! Dang deer killed my back pulling all those chained super stakes! I use the bulldob stake puller for rebar and a super stake puller I made for the chains. They make it easy in looser soil but get a little too deep in clay and it takes a lot of might to pry them out. It makes me wonder what's going to pop first, the tool, the stake, the soil or my back. I caught a possum on my last check, so I didn't get sunked. Yesterday I had a trap stolen. The chain was cut above the end swivel, which was attached to a splitring and chain stake. Guess they didn't know they could have just removed the split ring. There was a boot print on the set pattern. I had three other sets within 30 feet, none of them touched. There was coon in one yesterday and a coon in one the day before. I had put the sets in Saturday in full day light. A warden pulled up and talked to me for a few minutes while I was putting them in. There were farm hands bringing in a crop down the road. Monday at 0500 two hunters checked into a nearby area and could have seen the coon before I got to it at 0530. I later found out they complained when I drover further down the road and dispatched a coyote within site of where they were hunting apparently. It "messed up their shot" apparently. Even though it was more than a half hour before shooting light and still full dark. I guess that's what you expact if you hunt right up on a road. So either the hunters or one of the farm hands must have jacked the trap. I will mention it to the warden bon't don't expect anything to come of it. Just glad it was only one trap, and a relative cheap one at that. Last time I had traps stolen was when I got cleaned out of a beaver swamp three years ago and lost several MB 750's along with drowning rods. That really hurt. This week was fun but left me with more empty stretcher than I would have liked. |
