They work in water for me,useless on land, caught rats, mink, beaver an otter with them on channel an be sets

Good news!

The Beav has the solution to weakening the spring on the current model.

I talked to Kurt this morning and the stabilizer is being made and shipped as soon as they're made. He is currently working on two new sizes one for 330/280 size and one for 110 size---The 110 size will have a weaker spring to lessen the tension on the trigger which has some trappers concerned with the current model putting more tension on the trigger and missing some animals(mink). He will be testing a body grip trap this fall for marten/fisher, I hope to have a few to play with too!

Its a good time to be a trapper!

Growing up Dad and I sold in the round every other evening to Dutch
I didn't learn to skin until I got out of the military. But I still sold them grease
I really learned fur put up about 15 years ago, and it's equal in enjoyment to catching fur
I don't really like doing the bare minimum on fur put up, which is what I call fur market put up
The best thing I ever did to improve my put ups was home tan some of my fur. It showed me where I could improve on my fleshing.

I'll admit it, I'm addicted to fur. I love the look of it, the feel of it the planning on how to catch it

Great job, looks delicious!!

I guess I missed this latest boom.
Is it a secret?
How many coon to fill the tank?

When I HAD to process all fur daily,
I did not enjoy it MUCH.
Later when I had better facility with freezers,
I enjoyed it A LOT.
The former was cause for the latter.
To sell unprocessed was considered lazy
in my family. If you killed it, you respected it.

Several guys that bought from guys
that did not process,
made a LOT of money left on the table
by those that were too busy.

A friend hired out his processing.
I scratched my head until realizing,
he could afford to,
and liked to trap.

To each their own.

Good morning everyone.

70 and getting ready to dump on us for a few hours.

Hey Bob, I read where the National Weather Service out of Pittsburgh confirmed the tornado that went through your property on the 6th as an EF1. That was the third tornado confirmed in PA on that day.

I was curious about the process. Did anybody from the NWS talked to you or take pics of the area or anything?
