Rather than threading one end through the other loop like I normally do I just wrapped around the tree and quick linked both ends to the swivel leaving a large loop. First and last time to do that. Thought my trap was gone, looked around thinking it might be tangled in some brush. Nothing. Walked back to truck and looked back at site and noticed the coon 20 feet off the ground. Had a good laugh at myself for doing that.
"Cull" is just another four letter word...

I played around with a dp last year and about had the same thing happen. My problem was I put it around a cedar that I "thought" was big enough to hold one. Well it was big enough, but just barely. There was not a leaf and hardly a limb left on that cedar sapling when I got to it, lol.

Fullthrottle that's either a really small trap or a REALLY BIG COON!

Good double there Cole! I'm gonna try to set everything I've got for coons tomorrow. They're hitting my chufa patches so it's time to thin them out. Got 2 small beaver jobs to set up tomorrow and if I'm able I want to set some steel traps Thursday and Friday.
