When they get real muddy I usually rinse them in a creek or under the hose and wring out as much water as I can, then towel dry, comb out and hit them with the air compressor until dry and fluffy. Sometimes when it is too cold out to do that I will just wash the hide in the washing machine and run the spin cycle a few times. Then towel off, comb out and hit with the air compressor. Need to towel off the inside of the hide too when you do it that way.

APP- Thanks for the tips. Kids and i went for a ride yesterday and hauled in a couple passengers via sled for my dad. Kids had fun stepping where i step. Haha had to wait for them quite a few times but they had alot of fun yesterday.





Today i went and reopened all my trails, fixed all the lynx sets (couple misses) due to snowed over traps. All the wolf sets were outta commision. Got everything fixed till next check. I did catch a big lynx on a Beaver house in a #4 coilspring, he had enough slack to get his head into a 280 coni in a bucket! Thats a first. Double payback for eating a marten i caught :-)

APP- ? for ya. Are ya familiar with Baitsickle's? I made 5 buckets of scrap bait and added a chain to it then filled with water. lol they are in the process of freezing right now. Once i get to the site i'll break the bucket off of the frozen block bait and hang it up about 3' off the ground. Was thinking about hanging them in my choice calling sites. More for a critter attractor/bait. I been out calling quite a few times this season tried mixing up calls also. I always call on fresh sign also. What are your thoughts.

YT, yep I have heard of them. Make a nice little morsel for a sleep deprived fuzzy wuzzy. Would be a real good attractor once the magpies start working it. Here this year they would turn rapidly from meatcicles to meatplops. smile

I do think you are right with the meat plops, lol during the warm spell we got one day at 35 degrees. But for the most part i think i can get it to work for a little while. Otherwise i'll give it a shot in a few days. One of them i'll put it in a really thick area with alot of sign and i'll try hang some snares around it. See if i can pick up any critters with it.

I may have to build an ark. The creek I needed to cross to do my checks is about 4 1/2 feet above normal today which makes it about chin deep. No thanks. Good mudslide weather.

awesome catches, brought my nephew out yesterday and set a few traps with him after work, check a few of my traps that are close by. Marten came close, couldn't see the bait, put a bigger piece on and added a flagging tape attached to a piece of rabbit fur. Added more lure on it.
