I am sure that all of you are aware of the 8" chain length rule unless equipped with a shock-absorbing device approved by the commission and that the commission has never approved one for use. Ergo, any chain length over 8 inches is not legal on a solid anchor.
I have submitted, through Perry Sumner, a proposal to the NCWRC for approval of shock-absorbing devices (shock springs). I requested that the issue be placed on the agenda for the
December commission meeting. The way that I interpret this rule, and Perry agrees, this issue does not have to go to public hearing and requires only that the commission approve springs for use. Those springs approved for use would be legal as soon as the commission acts. The wording of the law grants the commission this authority.
I will not go into detail here as space does not permit, but I believe that I made a good case for springs that require a range of 40-75 pounds to either stretch or compress.
I will advise as soon as I hear how it flew.
Still no word on the progress of the raccoon proposal.

Nope. I'll get to it next week. Its just a quarterly follow up on a contract job. I started out the door to check a couple of places this morning when the phone rang. You know the rest. At least this one is five minutes from the house.
An aside: both jobs that I have going now have yotes. They cleaned up a 40-50 lb. beaver in one night. Only thing left was the hide and head. That's the second one that they have eaten in one night. The good news is that I'll be able to hit them in the head with the truck door at the sets. No longs walks or uphill carries.

Are they city beavers or country beavers? City beavers are dumber and can be caught in large numbers in a short time. Now, country beavers are an all together different critter. They are wary, elusive and wise to the ways of the predatory trapper.
I met with a fellow yesterday whose house is in the county but the creek beside it is the town limits boundary. I guess that I will just work on the town side of the creek and dams to pick off the easy ones.

Do these shock springs actually electrocute the animal when it's caught or just give them a shock when they tug against the trap so they won't fight it anymore?
