Ouch..being you have to dispatch the animals that could be a big issue..

If he says no, look at those Benjamin pellet pistols. They got some power in em. Got a scar on my back to prove it

I think connibears are legal up to I think like a 220. Or something like that I know a 330 is illegal

Correct a conibear with a diagonal opening of 10 or greater is not legal for land trapping, if you use a 330 it has to be in water deeper than 6 inches.

A lot of people use 220's for coons

I was going to try them for cats but haven't had a chance

[Tuffbroadhead]

Ugh.... just bit the bullet and did a complete order on everything I needed for the shop/room addition.

1328.88

Dale How tall is it 8'? You might want to mount the winch on the rafter on the metal building to get you enough height to skin a coyote with it.
