I trap, for scientific purposes, but just bought my first personal trapping license. What I've found with trapping is: you need to have base knowledge about an animals natural history (eg. where they like to go and at what times, what they like to eat and where it can be found, etc.) and have an pretty good knowledge of the lay of the land. In my line of work, I speak with lots of local hunters and trappers, and I am always amazed at how knowledgeable these citizens are; I've gained more knowledge from them than any course on wildlife I've ever taken. I'm excited to start trapping for food, and I'm hoping to get my hunting license for next season (cottontails, look out!).

I am going to be refinishing a small set of wood drawers with oil based high gloss paint, and in the process, changing out the hardware, from pulls to knobs. There will be 2 screw holes left from the older hardware in each drawer; does you recommend filling in each of these left over holes with putty, then sanding before repainting?

I love those metal clips used to hold the photos onto the string - does anyone know where to get those? I've been looking everywhere with no success.
