Set a bunch of gopher traps and discovered the farmers dump pile. Scored some 5/8" rebar for stakes along with a few other goodies.

Been making up chain set ups for the next traps I buy. Nail swivel, 4-links of no.3 twist , nail swivel, 4 links of chain and a double stake ring on the end. The custer bender is real handy for making the sterling style nail swivels..

I'm still trying to figure out the bender. I bought some 20D common nails as described by Coon Creek Outdoors but have yet to perfect it.

It should have instructions with it. But it still takes a little practice to get them consistent.

Caught 19 pocket gophers today. Got a new section of land to trap coyotes on next fall so guess I get to do some scouting this week before things green up.

Been working on a bunch of number one long springs that I'll probably never use. Driving pipe inside spring to make them stouter and faster, replacing old rusted chains and moving them to the jaw end of the traps. Putting on tags as I go and will wax all later. Might go after a few of those high dollar mink this winter.

Finished welding up my chain set ups and made a bunch more sterling type swivels. Stirred up some bait also.
