 Sorry I have never set a snare in my life.Only snares legal here are under the ice for beaver which I don't do.No wild hogs here in Maine.Someone is pulling your leg

Hey Rob, Nutoy is the master snarer for hogs and has perfected in to an art form.
Bruce, i'm glad to hear that your planning a big trapping season and bet your are awaiting it with much eagerness. I havent trapped in a long time, but do remember it fondly, as i had alot of great times with my grand father.
I caught a coon using a 55 gallon drum, cracked corn, a piece of roof tin, a large rock and a couple of trigger sticks. Actually, i got several this way in the same trap, and it didnt cost me a cent to make.....

| I won't be able to trap muskrats next spring but starting 2010 I'd like to start trapping muskrats both spring and falls.I still remember trapping muskrats with my father all those spring times on the Penobscot river as a kid in the 70's.Sure brings back memories.I sure miss that spring muskrat trapping.
