Big Chikens

[TEXICAN 10]

I guess being a sissy is genetic. Me and my two older sons took our pup sniper out this morning and I had them blocking holes once he went in. He flushed rats out on several holes and once the boys realized something was trying to come out of the holes they were running faster than the rats! Ha ha ha, it reminds me of myself when confronted with game if im at a disadvantage or not ready for it Im a big chicken. But in all we got out before it got too hot and the young dog did great 3 rats and an armadillo, lots of fun and hard laughs!

I'm in Houston. I'll be back in Texas the end of this month. Wanna meet up some time and talk terriers... kick some critters?

The boys will get into it eventually! Rats are creepy critters. I'd rather tussle with a hog than a rat. They give me the willies.

Machine, id love to, I got a friend that lives in Louisiana maybe we could head that way. Htown is a good 5 hrs from me. Benji yes sir I run a trapline in the winter and we use duke coil spring traps. 1.5's & 1.75's. Love them we do a little filing on the trigger and thats it. We ran 25 - 30 traps this winter for about 5 weeks and bagged 19 bobcats 4 coyotes, 3 grey fox, over 50 coon. Our primary target was the cats.

I use the Duke coilsprings for coons here in Kansas too. I also cleaned the dog/trigger up with a file. I've even stair-step the trigger on the pan for two settings

do you know how much they are or a place i could order some from theres some on ebay but didnt know what prices to be paying

[TEXICAN 10]

Search different trap supply stores online and find the best deals. I believe we usually pay $5-$6 a piece and we order 12 at a time.

I don't knoow if they ship international. If not, maybe we can find something else for you. I'm not very knowledeable about running a trap line. I've ordered a few supplies from F&T and their customer service has been great. Maybe someone else has a better source for what you need.

F&T ship to Aus no worries, Ive had stuff off them a few times. They seem fairly competitive price wise and have decent stock to save pissing around at different places. Shipping is the big killer but over a few traps its still cheaper than buying them here. I dont use dukes but plenty in the US seem to.
