Not really an expert, but I've had quite a few lynx, fisher, otter etc tanned. The guy who does them for me tells me that the flesh, fat etc must be removed from the pad, so i am guessing your fur buyer is correct. Luckily for me, he does the work when it comes to the pad. lol

It was a hoot when they interviewed the protesters how they downplayed the whole thing when they heard there might be consequences for their actions.

I think most critters are color blind so trap color shouldn't be an issue. Especially under water. And since most critters are nocturnal that would make trap color even less of an issue. You sir are correct! I have never had any problems with the color of my water traps, I saw black wax for sale, got some ideas and thought I would ask. Your answer was what I ended up saying to myself, so thank you for your answer.

Here if it says the speed limit is 80 MPH it’s considered a challenge to go faster then. It’s the giving it more gas when they have no traction to begin with that makes me chuckle a bit. Here ya either slowdown or you get the SD ditch tour and that ain’t cheap. Then, if a person (like me) has an old pile of bolts that isn't that happy over 70 mph, the 80+ club get even more irate and want to go faster. I just smile as they pass. That's why the Interstates have at least two lanes going in the same direction.

My wife told me one day last week, that we should sell her grandma’s sterling flatware. I said I was just looking at that yesterday. One grandma had sterling, the other had silver plate. Took in the sterling to sell and got just over $5K. I had weighed it out and knew what I’d get. She couldn’t believe it. That would not happen here...don't care what the price of silver is going for. Some things are worth more than money....thats just me I get it. We’re getting older, we never used it, we can’t take it with us, and our kids didn’t want it.

Here in WI you can fish off someone's dock as long as you don't access it from private land. .No, you generally cannot fish on someone else's private pier in Wisconsin without their permission. While Wisconsin's Public Trust Doctrine guarantees the right to fish in navigable waters, piers, docks, and boat lifts are considered private property. Accessing the shore or a pier usually requires walking on private land, which is illegal trespass. Key Wisconsin Fishing Access Rules: Navigable Waters: You may fish from a boat or while wading in the water, even if that water is in front of someone's private property. Private Property: You cannot use the exposed shoreline (dry land) or private structures like piers and docks without the owner's consent. "Feet-Wet" Law: When walking along a stream or shoreline, you must keep your feet in the water and cannot trespass on private land. Exceptions: You may only step onto private property to avoid an obstruction that makes wading impossible, then must immediately return to the water. For safety and to avoid conflict, it is best to ask permission or use public access points.

I never messed with it. Rub a little borax on the ear butts before you turn it fur out and you should be good to go.

So, If the Op has traps and can weaken them why go out and buy more traps. Have any of you that oppose spring weaking ever used a trap that has its springs weakened? Have any of you caught over 3,000 rats in a season? I can tell you it makes a difference. Before I wreaked the springs on my 1 1/2 dukes, I watched rat sit right on top of my stock traps. Sure, I short notched then loosened the pan bolt even bent the dog end down. It helped but I was still missing lots of rats. ND is a rat trappers paradise you can sand on the ditch banks and watch rats working your sets you can see what is happening and see how rat works a set. I'll tell you a little story. There was this road going through this mash. We only had permission to trap one side. The road was probably 1/4 mile long and it was washed out at the far end. WE set 60 some traps and it's hard to believe but by the time we started back we had caught 42 rats. I actually watched 2 rats get caught and When I removed one rat from a trap and re set It, I stood right by that trap and watched a rat swim up to that trap and get caught right in front of me. And that was early morning we came back 5 hours later and had 10 more rats. It was pretty common to check twice a day. This was in the spring of the year.
I learned a lot about what works and what doesn't when it comes to trap adjustment.
Weaken a few and see what happens. You have to remember that once the spring levers are locked up on the jaw edges the springs have done their job. We caught quite a few coon in those traps and can't say we didn't lose a few, but we did catch and hold some. But then again, we weren't making coon sets. All these sets were adjustable baited and lured stool sets, set along the ditch banks. It didn't work in Wisconsin.

Stainless is only half the battle with beaver cable drowners.
Yes, they will last longer, but what really prolongs the life of a cable drowner is the composition of the cable
You need 7x19 cable. You can tie the stuff in a knot, untie it, and there's no memory.
7x7 cable, even if its stainless, sucks for beaver drowners.
I would rather have galvanized 7x19 cable for beaver drowners than stainless 7x7
