74 - Pan Covers and Open Minds
In this episode a post about pan covers sparks a discussion on how I think about things and how thinking from a different perspective can be beneficial.\xa0 Also looking at the source of information and determining how credible or useful it might be.\xa0 Specifically I\u2019m talking about steel screen pan covers.\xa0 Everyone has their own opinion and they vary widely, but I\u2019m giving them a try, not necessarily because I\u2019m not satisfied with the polyfil pan covers I\u2019ve been using, but the potential additional benefits the steel screen could provide.\xa0 Its going to take some time and experience to determine if there is a legitimate benefit but that is what trapping, and life, for that matter is all about.\xa0 If you\u2019re curious about something, don\u2019t just take someone elses word for it, try it for yourself and see.\xa0 That\u2019s the only way you can be really sure.\xa0
To me the potential additional benefits to steel screen aside from just acting as a pan cover is 1- increased kill area inside the jaws of the trap and 2- increase trap operability in wet weather situations.\xa0 Both of these are yet to be determined but I\u2019m anxious to try and see if either of these turns out to work as others say they do.\xa0
