I hit a set of old bed springs that someone had buried with a tiller. I had about the same mess as you have except it was spring steel involved. All you need is time, patience, good wire cutters, linesman pliers, band-aids, some cussing, bleeding, alcohol, replacement skin for knuckles and...
Your best bet is first find out who and where the person that will repair whatever you buy is located. I would rather have a old Ford 2000 if there is somebody 5 miles away that can take care of getting it running, swap clutch or repair the hydros on it than a new green JD with the nearest...
Contractor........................ I've dug many miles of ditches and started doing the same as you are a few years back at the farm. A local guy gave me a price of $250 to open, close, provide 120' pipe and hook it up. I couldn't touch it at that price AND he was in/out in 1/2 day. Talk to the...
There are restrictions already in place on trappers and size/style of traps. 330 Conibears must be submerged. You cannot use them on land.

I have not gutted a deer in years. I only hunt my farm so I can take them straight to the house, skin, bone out, small slit to get loins and keep the mess inside. No need to gut.
The guy that bought the farm that backs up to me put up POSTED signs every 30-40'. He used the tape type in bright yellow. My only issue was he crossed the fence and put them on trees about 30 yds over on MY property.
