Started home tanning my first two beavers ever

I swept around the totes all that stuff is stored in, does that count.

fed another big poplar tree to the beaver down back.

I washed a dozen new traps and 50' of #3 chain in Dawn dish soap and hung on the back of my garage to start to rust.

Now I'm just reading my Fisher trapping book.

Trapping skunks, and skinned to from yesterday.

Still skinning and tanning squirrels from last winter.Only two more garbage bags full to go.

Holy smokes! What do you do with them?

Tan and sell.
I have one buyer that takes them all.

I had no clue that you could do such a thing with squirrel. Other than selling to the fishing lure companies.

I bought two of Darin Yarborough's videos off of Ebay this morning. I thoroughly enjoyed Rattlin Chains and thought that he was a great teacher who explained things well.

Since I just got into trapping I was saddened by the fact that he'd passed. I'd hoped to run into him at the PA Rendezvous.

You're not alone.

i know a guy that doesn't move them till he can hear them.

Bought some Krud Kutter to soak my new traps and chain in to clean them as well as 3 Rubbermaid totes to store traps in. Caught heck for the $23 totes.

Was nice coming home to something enjoyable in the mail.

I pulled 15 beaver traps today .

Now that the frost is finally out I got the last 53 coyote snares pulled .. brought back lots of memories of the past winter at each set as I pulled em . Cant wait til next December to start all over .

Now that sounds like a good time.

This is what I did Saturday.

WOW! Now that's an operation

Thanks, I copied my cooker from Boss of the Swamp on utube.
