How's a guillotine door supposed to work when the world is turned on it's side?

Nice start Korr!

Felt kind of weird setting traps in 65 degree weather.

Yeah I don't know how that happened?
Indeed it did carp.

So I've had two filleted dollie vardon scraps sitting in a jar since August, I melted down some petroleum jelly and blended them together. What do you think? Good lure or no? The kids just about lost dinner when the smell drifted into the house through an opened window. You can just imagine the response I got from the wife.

petroleum jelly tends to encapsulate odor requiring re luring more frequently, but does offer a waterproofing factor......

Got my first two swim throughs completed and 8 more rat traps built. I tried to set my whole hole line Saturday and after four hours in the swamp I just wound up getting myself stuck in the muck I didn't set a single trap and then high centered my truck on a sand bar. P.s. just because the beavers were there last march doesn't mean they are there now. What a day I tell ya! Maybe this weekend I will get them in the water.

So today after work I got my two swim throughs set out. I got one set in a channel between two ponds and the other on land not to thrilled about the one on land I'm worried if I do get a beaver in it that it may just chew its way out. The one on lnd is set on a well and recently used trail from the water up to a small maple tree they've been working on and the other is set in the same spot I got that little guy last year, like I said its in a run between two of the many ponds just below a damn crossing. Sorry no pics of the sets beings it was dark when I set them.

So one rat and I had eager beaver trap eater but he left me a present then chewed himself out. Here's some pics.

The one on dry land I take it. We learn from our mistakes.

Two more today and one was in my new swim through that I set last night.
