I'm surprised you didn't mention that bent tree. That was done by an Indian. When the trees are very young they are bent that way to provide a perch off the ground for hunting. I live in Southwest Florida. In the State Preserves that is virgin acreage, these trees are very common. The Seminole Indians used to use this practice of tree bending. These trees are over 80 years old.
Question for you sir. What size fleshing beam do you recommend? I am putting my list together so I can purchase stuff before this year's trapping season.
1” thick oak. 78”x5” If you have an email or Facebook or other socials I can send you a pic with the exact dimensions, if this isn’t clear. Also not sure where you’re located…I have an extra one I was going to sell that I got in a package deal.
Besides my coffee, this is the best part of waking up. Always look forward to your videos.
Still on em! Great job, wish i was still able to be out trapping…take care and safe travels my friend!
Lots of live catches! Good luck with all the rain coming my friend!!
Always great to see fur in the traps

Great catch! Thanks for sharing the info. I’ll keep an eye out for them!
