| Wow, that'd hold darn near any critter. I got to see 100's of confiscated foothold traps ( called "gin" traps) last summer in Mozambique, but nothing near that size... |

I wonder on the spring strength I can stand on my Newhouse strings and they well not move. |

| Yeah, that might be a trap left over from world war II!! Not sure what something that big would be used for! |

| Do the springs look right to you guys? One is bolted and both look unextended. Must have been something when new. Neat off-set to the jaws. Man traps usually had taller jaws. Perfect for lion with an eight foot long by one foot diameter log bouncing along behind it. |

| AS a public service place two three dozen of those traps around each court house in the nation, baited with $10.00 bills. In a couple of weeks you could thin out the herd of lawyers. Jim
