I tried the Rust-oleum/ acetone dip for my water traps last weekend, I am very impressed!

Loading up for coyote contract jobs. Got 180 MB-550s in back of truck.

Finished making my coyote snares for the year. Got them in the dish washer now and will paint them later today.

Good luck and be safe. Send me some pictures brother.

Couldn't find a large pan for a Duke # 3 so I made my own.

That’s nice! Wish that I had the equipment and skills

Finished 6 more dozen Snares getting ready for the Long Line this fall. Is it Nov. Yet?

Got the wild river pans in and installed and adjusted a half dozen these may change my mind on old victor pinch pans being my favorite mink muskrat trap. Also got 4 MB550s in that I bought used off of the trap shed. These may be the most abused traps I have ever seen caked with paint and dip so thick dogs barely move. Have them soaking in vinegar now but I will be surprised if it cleans them. May have to soak in acetone one at a time its so thick. But they were a good deal price wise so I will clean them up.

Replaced springs on some Vic 1.75 I picked up at Escanaba. Going to use them on drowning chains.

All it takes is a saw that will cut metal, a drill, and a bench grinder. Easy peasy after the first one.

Power washed the 4 MB 550s yesterday put back in and soaked overnight in vinegar and water again and power washed again today. All of the old dip and paint came off. they were so caked when I got them none of the markings were legible. Gave them a logwood dye bath and they are as good as new. Now ju st need to put my chain and swivel setup on them and wax.

bought 10lb block wax at hobby lobby on sale for $18.00 for traps and wax dirt.

yesterday I finished adding chains and swivels to some 1 1/2 sleepy creeks. Ordered PIT springs for them today

Melon patch catch

Ground some bait and cleaned some lure bottles.

Added a couple more traps on the farm. Should see some more yotes bouncing very soon. Lots of sign.

Went to the MD rondy and spent some time talking to Mike Murray and Scott Painter. Only got 1 trap though.

It was a Newhouse 15 though.

just got back from the MN convention.

set up 50 muskrat traps, extended the chains, and got the same number of fiberglass poles flagged and ready for fall.

Ground aged muskrat glands, shrimp and 3 year old full skunk glands. Also drained juice off tainted bobcat meat and added red wine to let it soak in.
