    Look what I just caught in my trap.......... Warning Graphic Pic!!!

    Warning! This is a dead animal in a trap. Its not a catch and release trap, so if you don't agree with trapping or dead animals, don't look! I'm now wondering how to remove this thing without getting smelly and nasty. I guess I should have thought about that BEFORE I set the trap And I...
