hit a skunk with both tires in the wife's jeep.if that smell don't get you fired up nothing will.and yes,i did remember to back over it again and again but don't tell her.

I've been getting lures and bait organized.Doing a lot of cleaning and going through old buckets,bags and totes.Found so neat old lures that are probably 20 years old.I like to clean all the messy jars,threads and lids plus replace contaminated or faded labels,before season.Also re-ground some older baits to get a smoother consistency.

Finished putting the Wild River pans on 3 dozen 1.5 Victors and adjusted them. Now I gotta buy 2 dozen for my Bridgers. Also started building some more cable stakes. Got all the K9 traps cleaned dyed and waxed.

Pretty hot here today so I dipped some water traps

I was finally able to afford 20 pound of flake wax and mixed up some dirt with it to do the truck bed thermal method today and tomorrow.

Opened this thread for the first time and perused through 12 pages.

went out to the farm and got 65gal dirt got half of it sifted today going to make up some wax dirt want to keep some unwaxed dirt on hand to use until it starts freezing up

Welded some 24in t-bar stakes and bought a landowner's lunch!

Dried another 20 gallons of dirt, checked the tracking on my F&T order, and inventoried (smelled) my baits and lures.

started cutting out a few new rat stretchers tonight. Going to try some wood instead of wire see if I like them better.

planted 10 blueberry bushes my best landowner dropped off for helpin him keep the beavers outta his 2 acres of starters.nice 3 yr old bushes and it was one of the few things i didn;t have on the farm.i may have hinted last winter.

Making my very first batch of coyote bait.

Spilled 2 quarts of hoof juice in the fur shed. So I'm a little nose blind lol

Lol Oh man!!!! All though I’ve never smelled it I can only imagine what it would be like.

I poured 4 boxes of baking soda and a large bottle of peroxide on it and closed the door.lol I'll check it next week. Might be OK by then
It has it's own smell

Light a match and build a new one lol

Just remember old trappers never die we just smell that way lol

I made a quart of it last year, but never had the courage to open it. It was sitting on top of the refrigerator in the shop. When I took it down to get rid of it, all I could think of was those old western movies where they were handling nitro glycerin.

One hot day! so i used the KBL black dye and did 2 dozen traps. Still have some left but i could not keep the sweat out of my eyes with black stuff all over my hands. Yes i know better!

I attended our Game Commissions Cable Restraint course and became certified. I had a great time learning with a bunch of amazing instructors. Now I can’t wait for the PA District 9 Trapping School on September 8th. It’s a two day deal where we get to stay overnight.
