i very much enjoyed the artical in the trapper on dry land otter, i trap in missouri and conibears are for water only there. it`s hard on a man that is used to setting them anywhere he likes, and like steve said, water will rise.....matt

Scott,I had matt's video right on the top of my display.Surprised you did'nt see it.But then again you may need glasses, as you are getting a bit long in the tooth. Tom

My knees may be shot and my hands a little on the arthritic side,but my eyesight is like that of birds of prey and F-14 pilots.Perhaps the video was placed such that it was above my line of sight.......not too hard in my case....
I wasn't really lookin @ vids anyway,I buy very few of them,but this one is getting good reviews from people I trust.

Scott,my display is about 2 feet high and sits on a table.This set up puts it over no ones head except some of the children.You just were'nt paying attention.But thats alright, it's hard to notice everything. Tom

Matt, looking forward to it, hope that you get it done. The great state of Minnesota only lets us catch four (God only knows why) and is easy to fill your limit but it is interesting to see how someone else does it and maybe pick up some good ideas that one doesn't think of.
