OK, another trapping related question. Like a dumb [Please excuse my language... I'm an idiot], I stretched a mink on a board without a belly board. Before I rehydrate it and stretch it right, any tips I might use to get it off now? Tried leaving it out in the cold, but no go.

OK, back to your fighting.

TJ, stick it in the snow overnight, that will rehydrate it enough.

I used a ratchet strap to get an otter off a board a few weeks ago. Maybe a bit of over kill for a mink. blush

The last time I did that..... I had to split the board.

I like the idea about a nice flat surface to work with. Make it jus wide enough to work outta. I was thinkin short at first, but when you are putting drags in there ya kinda need lenght. I am thinking 2x6 high with 2x4 cross bracing and a full plastic bottom. Have an action packer up front. Leave the back open so it don't fill up with snow. If i can get away with 8' long by 16-18 inches wide i can make it work. I know Cold Spot feed Co. Sells runners in fairbanks. Maybe 2.5 inch wide by half inch runners on the both edges of the sled. I'd best start gathering materials to make this. Luck trapping in the New year folks.

FT/ Spotter : Don't know if this is what your talking about - but if you request it, Northern Sled puts a second skeg on your sled for setting number nine's in between. They are app. 10 inches apart and the wolves will run right down the middle.

Piper the concept your talking about allows you to run down your trail without setting off the number 9 apparently. But the system Spotter elaborated on is a packed part of the trail that the wolves will follow.

I don't think you can go wrong with these deals and shipping included. I got two 10 foot 7 inch wide by 3/8 runners from them. They banded them tight and mailed to me. Also a piece 35 by 36 inchs. Very reasonable. I had posted it before. But for those looking for umhw this sure seems to be a place to look.

FT- What is the Name of the place, i'd like to call them and get some qoutes on runners and a 18" wide 9' long uhmw. Prefer 1/2 main sheet and 1/2 inch thick runners. I am thinking 2.5 or 3 inch runner. My late gramps used to get the metal cleats off of older snowmachines and save them. You can recess them into the runners and your sled will track every where you go. jus angle both sides of the cleat. recess and use self-tapping screws to attach. Haha i remember seeing an old cleated track somewhere...

I think we are talking about the same thing. Or should I say exactly the same but different. The Siglin makes a smooth packed trail with two 10 inch cuts down the center. The nine is set between the cuts and the Wolves walk right in the middle .

Sometimes it's difficult tell exactly what someone means when you're reading text. So I'm going to assume that's the case here. But let's have no misunderstanding. Neither Family Trapper nor anyone else is "banging on" you for anything and I guarantee you that "indigenous or non-indigenous" crap doesn't fly here. Everyone is the same and will be treated as such.


Mr. akassassin it is good thing you don't guide or they would really be banging on you. Your friend Jeff would probably be the worst one. Here, if you drive a Bravo or guide expect a lot of Banging. God help you if you do both. frown

TJ,
If you don't want to rehydrate, you can slip the belly stick in about 1/2-way (as far as you're comfortable pushing it). Then just let it set there for several hours (maybe overnight). Take it out after several hours, and slip it in the other side of the animal (first belly, then back or visa versa). Leave it for several hours while the hide stretches, and then try to remove the pelt. If it doesn't work, slip it back in the first side as far as it'll comfortably go. Eventually, the leather will stretch enough that you'll be able to remove it without rehydrating. Make sure the leather is warm first, though.

Why aint you out trapping instead of on here stirring the pot?

I thought you were going back into the closet and shutting off the internut for the winter

Oh wait... I know...there was a guide managing animal populations on your trapline. smile

Well it's obvious you have missed me. I've missed you too.


Guess what's for dinner?

Bristle cones!
