Mine was a Xmas gift from my daughter -- she got it at Cumberland's Northwest Trappers Supply.Camera Trap Codgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11052159376463794204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8527944689184796366.post-87218553735101068422007-05-06T09:13:00.000-07:002007-05-06T09:13:00.000-07:00Jace, I would use some plumbers strap or soft meta...Jace, <BR/>I would use some plumbers strap or soft metal to make a clamp for the Furfindr. Fit it around the middle. Then connect it to a length of chain. You can then fasten the FF to a limb, or wrap it around a tree trunk. Use a climbers clip or a nut and bolt to fasten the chain. If there are no trees around anchor it with an angle iron stake. I wrapped mine in camouflage tape. It helped to make the seal on the end cap tighter. <BR/>Good luck. Hope to see some reports on your blog soon!Camera Trap Codgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11052159376463794204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8527944689184796366.post-41179009522503583482007-05-05T18:32:00.000-07:002007-05-05T18:32:00.000-07:00Chris,Very nice!!!!

Also- where did you get the beaver scent?Jace Stansburyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02571913472155240744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8527944689184796366.post-17410189592964244942007-05-05T09:24:00.000-07:002007-05-05T09:24:00.000-07:00I guess we all have to be on the alert nowadays wh...I guess we all have to be on the alert nowadays when we're in the woods. When I was a kid wandering around the Santa Cruz mountains we never worried. The risk is miniscule, but no one wants to tempt fate. There are some good websites about 'ciphering' moutain lion behavior and minimizing risk. At this time of year there is plenty of food -- the black-tailed deer are dropping fawns. The down side, is that the visibility in the woods is low. Better conditions for prowling cats. Good to hear from you, zhakee.Camera Trap Codgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11052159376463794204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8527944689184796366.post-22276365312656530142007-05-04T14:19:00.000-07:002007-05-04T14:19:00.000-07:00I love your commentary.

When I'm out hiking alone, knowing such kitties have attacked people not so far from here, makes me glad I'm staring at pretty pictures, and not being stalked. Oh yes, my mental state when out alone in the brushy, dry areas is way different. It's nice to see such a sleek, wild feline, via your camera.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07919620650074666155noreply@blogger.com
