Don Hightower = Dr. Beaver/otter !! He charges by the hour and is not that expensive. Especially compared to the amount of money most on this forum have spent on their lakes and ponds.
TBar.....looks great that's what I want without the roof. Did they have to launch a big barge to do the piers? What are the dimensions of the deck? It is a fixed dock correct? I would like the builders name or was it you?
Bill, Those are 330's. I set them up because I was unsure if I had beavers and or otters. Turns out I had two otters. The traps went back to work, I'll see if I have more problems or not. I am betting on the beavers as well, I have seen some occasional damage that must be beavers.

Ahhh. Setting a double spring always made me nervous. I trapped alone and was always thinking, ok, so when you screw up and catch yourself what ya gonna do! If your setting a 110 single and catch yourself you just say Son of a B@&xH that hurts and set yourself free. A 330 double means possibly a broken bone and a miserable walk to the truck and a walk of shame to get help!
Yeah those 330's are all business. Pretty unforgiving.

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1) And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1) Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT? PB answer: It depends.

Zep, It's a 16' x 16' platform.
No barge, they worked their way out from shore and drove the posts with a pneumatic pile driver. It was a real trapez act sometimes and yes the dock is fixed. A buddy of mine from Lousiana that builds docks came over and did the job. He, his wife, son and helper stayed at the house with us for several days.
Scott, Not only did I use tongs, but I got the big tongs with the Kung Fu grip!! I like my hands and want them nowhere near open 330's.
Allen, Yep, the thieving varmints were headed to Extratopia, while they did make it, they won't be back.
On a side note, I get to use my new tanning equipment. I see gloves in my future.
TBAR, Looking good!!
Are you going to be able to fish off that dock? Is the roof going to be an issue for casting? Also, are your corner posts 4x4's or bigger? We are working on our dock and any input is welcome!!

After attending the Pond Boss Conference I am wanting to purchasing a Texas Hunter LM175. I think I have a healthy BG population and look forward to feeding them.
Experimenting with some dog food in a basket feeding the BG aka Bass bait.
Tbar, great decision. Did you get the solar charger option? It pretty much makes the TH's maintenance free. They're the only feeders I have personally used that don't cake up from fish food dust, so that eliminates a lot of winter cleanings.
