Title: big grinner
Post by: bambam on January 19, 2011, 07:28:12 PM
I pulled all my traps after Christmas vacation but left out 3 snares. Last night I got this jumbo grinner. Over 13 pounds according to the scale. Wonder how many turkey eggs he would have eaten this spring ??  :confused: :confused: :shrug: :shrug:

Jim, the hanging upside part is all natural for the marsupials with prehensile tails.  Even in death, he has a sort of quiet nobility going for him.  Poor old cousin Pogo. Sniff, sniff.  :laf: :eyebrownod: :nono:

Don't know the average but this is the biggest I ever caught in about 30 years. Think I might make a  muff warmer out of it.  :alscalls: :alscalls: :alscalls:  The wife and daughter weren't impressed.  :confused: :confused: :shrug: :shrug:

  Fins and Fur , they never stop grinnin', hence the name.  :innocentwhistle: :innocentwhistle:
