How Not To Trap (Academic) Game

Posted by Scott Eric Kaufman on 10/17/06 at 07:59 PM

Option #1:

The MB-750: Finally, a squirrel trap ready to go out of the box! Complete with a D-ring baseplate, center in-line swivels, heavy #5 chain, four coilsprings, and a trigger system that holds both jaws down, #10 Brass pan bolt, 7 1/2” jaw spread.  Heavy frame & smooth.

Option #2:

The CDR #6: It’s huge!  It weighs 48 lbs. and is 46” long with a 17” jaw-spread.  This is the size of trap used to catch the largest and most powerful bears.  It is the fastest large jaw coilspring available on the market today and has the strongest music wire springs ever used.  It is the only bear trap equipped with a Paws-I-Trip pan system direct from the manufacturer.  All traps have a full length base plate and D-ring for bottom swiveling.  The unique Notch-In wire lever lets the loose jaw lay flat every time.  Each trap comes with a 6-inch heavy duty #3 machine chain and two heavy duty swivels. 

This trap is great for decoration or display.

Option #3:

Fire: It’s is a phenomenon of combustion manifested in intense heat and light in the form of a glow or flames!  It can consume structures and trees and can severely injure or kill living beings through burns or smoke inhalation.  It is hot!  WARNING: The self-sustaining nature of fire makes it extremely dangerous if uncontrolled.

Thug Theory lives! (To tell the truth, I’ve been a bit worried about those guys.)
