Evening guys. Sorry I haven't been able to get back here to chat lately. My 90 yo MIL who lives with us had to be transported by ambulance day after Christmas to Grandview Hospital. She has vascular dementia and is still at the hospital and not doing too well but holding her own for now. Prayers are appreciated. Been dealing with that and working so its been kinda hectic.
I did call Fleming Trapping in Ramer today and placed my order. I've got me 7 MB 550 traps coming along with anchors and bait, urine ,trap dye and a few other things. The only thing I may have messed up with the order is the anchor chains. They only had the hard earth ends in stock and the guy said I'd have to literally dig them out with a shovel to get them out. They are 15 inch chains. I've got a screwed up back and any type of digging with a shovel really messes me up. Would I be better suited getting some wolf fang ends with cables instead of what I've got coming? Would the wolf brand be easier for me to remove when its time to pull the trap?
And would you get an 3 inch auger for a cordless drill or can I just make my bait hole with a piece of rebar by driving it in the ground and wallowing the hole out some? They said the order will go out Monday.
What say you?
Thanks!!!!
