Will H:
Ive heard Guitar strings work well. Easy to come by at least...

RidgeRunner:
I have found some 30 lb mono-fishing line in my pile of fishing stuff.

Getting the knots to tie right is proving to be a challange.

It apperes that I am going to have to tie a "tiny" loop in the end of the line and then make a loop by feeding the end on the line through the loop.

Will H:
That's the glory of the guitar string. It already has the loop ;)

Stonedog:
Go to lowes or HD......head to the hardware section, specifically the picture hanging area...galvanized picture wire.....perfect for up to groundhogs and coons....lethal on squirrels and rabbits!

RidgeRunner:
Picture Hanging Wire.....
My wife has some of that.  Looking at two pack of it now.

One pack is called a Picture Hanging Kit.  Rated at 20lb's.  Sort of a loose braded cable.  Plenty strong for small game.

The other is called Heavy Duty Coated Picture Wire.  Much larger, tight twist, plastic coated cable.  Looks like it would hold a large animal quite well.

I am quite sure she buys this stuff at Wallie- Smarts.  Will take a look see in a day or two.

Thanks
David
