  1. These guys helped me some. You will get a poi t if impact shift however from shooting off of a hard surface especially if your mainly used to shooting off of a soft surface where you can dig your bipods feet in. Main thing that haled me was to pop my bipods leg out longer and give it more of a medium load instead of a really hard one.
  2. I collect and convert old outdoor videos as a hobby. Make clips sometimes and post them so they don't die completely. Anyhow here's a clip from a coyote calling video I have. Figured some of y'all would enjoy it.
  3. Got damn y'all this is a seven month old thread , why is it back up ???
  4. Lovely piece as always SD ! Never thought I'd see a leaver gun over there. What the make and model? Caliber? They have a Henry for sale at Walmart right now for $360 I think and I've been looking hard at it
  5. Mmmm so decided to get a little more serious with my reloading. Looked around and everyone who was shooting these bug hole groups and doing all this super serious reloading work all had these nice bench rest style front rests and rear bags. I'd always just bumbled along with with a bipod and sand sock or a old shooting bag I found in the trash and taped along with a sand sock. So I thought "Hay ! This fancy stuff is going to make life a breeze ! It's going to practically cheating". So dropped $150 on a "cheap" Caldwell Rock BR front rest and a freind on another site was kind enough to send me
  6. Might be helpful for someone ?
  7. And looks like a dag blasted bomb went off ?? I swear raccoons are one of the most destructive dang critters. And they always some how make mud !
  8. Something I though some of you more adventurous type would find interesting. These arnt for rabbits btw I think y'all have that figured out lol but maybe you fix guys would enjoy this. Actually extremely easy to make. Took me less then a minute and no welding . And according the the comments there some using this in the UK and their liking it so....
  9. Hay do y'all know if fourteen acres ships state side ? Been chatting with that Glenn Waters fella ( wonderful guy to talk to was super surprised how knowledgeable he was of snaring Info from over here , guy knows stuff about our snaring history 80% of guys over here have no clue about. Real joy to talk to) and I kinda wanna buy his snaring books to add to my video and book collection. Don't think I have anything from the UK yet. Fourteen acres seems to be the only place I can find them, y'all happen to know if they ship state side ?
  10. Yep was welding up a order of fencing stuff and figured why I'm out here weld in 100 degree temps might as well up some snare supports. Just need a few dozen more and I'll be ready for season
  11. I think I get what your say ?? and the Tigger is basically a set of conibear wires on a bar that supports a rod that the doors hook to. Animal tries to push though the wires like a conibear with pushes the bar away and lest the doors drop.
  12. Yep it was found from the side. These traps are powered and wider on one side then the other so you can set them upside down on there sides and right side up and they all fire the same . Deal is these aren't swing in doors. Those are a plain to build ,just don't the springs is annoying as hell. These are swing out colony doors. Here one with out the trigger and springs The trade off with these though is you Daniel has to be past the door or they get slapped out of the trap. Most of these type trap actually have to be longer in since compared to someone like Comstock slap in doors
  13. Happens to all my conis from 110 to 330's all the time. Just take my trapping hammer and give it a little tap it knock it off the bend. Easy peasy
  14. Is simplicity always the best answer is my question?it always seems like a good deal but if we start dealing with waht alot of control trappers here call the 80/20 it becomes evident that just going with something because it's simple just plain isn't the best deal somtimes
  15. Yeeeep going over some trail can footage of on cages I'm working on and had one what was Tiggered but no catch. Figured some got caught and wiggled lout but nope Trap triggered with out him even touching the trigger some how... Weird ,guess I need to tweak the sensitivity lol
  16. No kind of behavioral differences between the two you could take advantage of to exclude the possibility of catching one over the other more or less ? I'm sure great have to do something or be attracted to things that reds arnt ?? O and yeah I know the set you are talking about. Those are usually some pissed off home owner or kid who doesn't know better who saw a "survival" video on YouTube. It's a really good way to kill alot of bird honestly ??
  17. You talking about the ones in front ? Well keep larger critters from sticking there heads in. A 120 will kill a squirrel and all but a raccoon or Large possum...weeellll. aslo help to exclude nosey dogs and the like if it's set on the ground
  18. Had some left over wood from the rabbit trap and threw this together. Guess y'all would call it a tunnel.Was gonna use it on rats but my trail cams are showing I kill them all apparently so guess I'll have to wait for winter an see if the squirrels like it. Any of you guys mess with cubbies for squirrels alot ?
  19. I will say though btw if I had to set 50-100 cages like I see you guys doing I'd definitely figure out how to make white work because we'll.....that's just common sense I feel ??
  20. Well I appreciate that ? these are just first and made of shitty lumber so the next ones should be much better. Actually have someone asking if I can build them some a armadillo traps but I'm definitely gonna read this design because Christ these are crazy even if you only need one or two But I'm getting off track lol. Honestly what I curious about is how many rabbits y'all miss over there. Asked around apparently putting trail cams on traps is kinda frowned on over there for some reason. But anyway due to the just pure crazy populations you guys have what I'm curious about i
  21. I'd actually love to see some put a wooden trap side by side with a wire one or one with two doors besides one with a single door and put trap cam on them. Would love to see that footage.
  22. Just saying you can build the same thing out of wire in like 15min pretty easy and they seem to work for you lot Soo ?
  23. Yeah that was my post . Those traps are a favorite for dog runners live catching rabbits for dog training. I honestly think you guys think I'm trying to tell y'all that "our way* is better or something, which I'm not. I'm simply showing what we use and saying ,over here these are the best method for our animals. Not trying to start an international pissing match ....never have these situations with trappers from other place though I noticed..... Especially the Aussies and kiwis fascinating conversations with does boys but I digress. And we are dealing with "different animals" . Yes b
