    Trapping with the Terrors.

    Father and son's weekend so took the boys to set 20 traps in three spots weather was perfect for it and the boys love trapping possums and its so easy to take most of my kids to do it.Im no expert but thought id take some pics to show how I do it and my multi tool that is a standard variation of which quite a few trappers use which in turn was given to me buy a old trapper.We set twenty traps in three areas I set 4 and 4 and 12 the 8 were in two area's I know real well and the twelve were set in a new area to see how and were they are operating,we took 6 out of the 8 I set and then 7 out of the new area with a couple of misfires so pretty happy. Of those 15 I was told by the terrors that 3 were theres.they know the rules and plucked there 3 while spending the money already from there millions they were getting.Here are the pics.
    Loaded and ready to go

    Cool Neckshot
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
