I figure the canines kill the live turkeys and the coon and possum really put a hurtin on the nests.

I figure for every predator taken out at least 6 or more turkey survive.

I try to trap as much as possible until the snow gets to deep and makes it more of a hassle than fun.

What is this thing called trapping??  I know nothing about "trapping."

BOFF,

Nice coon catches. 

What I would recommend with the lil griz is have someone re-enforce the welds on the traps stabilizing system on the bottom.  I have heard many stores of those spot welds popping off.

I had a buddy put some more weld on them and it definitely helps with peace of mind.

Also I hope your not using that smooth rod without using a nut or washer welded on top.  Just asking for trouble if thats the case.
