3175darren 1,101 Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 It's good to see the old stuff still in use,made in a time when mass production of such things were unheard of, and each one made in a old shed by a bloke who had spent hours refineing what he did, learning by his mistakes they were the true trappers, 2 Quote Link to post
Matt 160 Posted March 2, 2015 Report Share Posted March 2, 2015 I don't think the ability to knock up your own traps makes you any better a trapper than the guy that buys in traps and catches more Quote Link to post
