AboutMongo Expertise I can answer most basic questions concerning predator trapping and some water trapping. Questions about lures, baits, sets, traps, trap treatment, modification, sizes, equipment, usage, etc. I have been certified by the Okla. Dept. of Wildlife Conservation, First Okla. Trapper`s Assoc., and the Okla. State Univ. Extension Service as a trapping instructor, and in years past have given classes to people wishing to learn the sport...I also have a number of years experience in predator calling and can provide some basic answers to these questions as well.
Experience
Past/Present clients As far as teaching what I know to others. I take this to be what you mean here... I have helped my son, and son in law, as well as a number of others in this area, to get started in trapping and predator calling... I have had personal instruction from professional government ADC specialists, and I have 30 years experience running my own traplines, and over a half century of experience in the outdoors...... I have a friend who is a troop leader with the Boy Scouts. In the past I have done several demonstrations on trapping and predator calling for the boys, and on a number of occasions have helped the troop to set up and run a trapline during the winter, with proceeds going to the troop.
Question I just bought a few "lil grizz getter" coon traps. They came without instructions, and they are not as obvious to set as I would have hoped. Can you explain how to set them so that I do not break them or injure myself?
Answer Hello Richard,
I must apologize, as I have heard and read about the Lil Grizz traps, but have never had any experience with one, or even actually seen one, but I believe they require a "setting tool"... Perhaps these images of setting the trap will help... http://www.fntpost.com/Products/Trap+Setters/Setter+for+Lil'+Grizz+Get'rz ........... you may need to copy and paste the link...
I'm sorry that I can not be of any more help than this.
