Powerwashed a bunch of land footholds. Hung them to dry. A few need new J-hooks and/or swivels. They are all probably going to need boiling in dye and then re-waxed but I am hoping some of them are in good enough shape they just need dipping in the wax pot.

I have a few dozen brand new 450's that I know I just need to powerwash, dry, and wax.

I have a couple dozen new Duke 1.5's that need working over to get ready for the coon line then powerwashed, rusted, dyed, and waxed.

Most of my bodygrips are ready to go from after season before last but a few need powerwashing and dipping in Formula One. I also have 4 dozen new Bridger 280's that need pawerwashing and dipping in Formula One. I also have about 6 dozen body grips total that need the dogs filed to adjust travel.

Jeez I wish I wouldn't have written that all out now I am feeling antsy...

Stirred up a half bucket of rotting bobcat meat, and cleaned out a freezer.

I de-boned a couple cats. Chopped up a gallon's worth of 1/2" pieces, and placed it in a bucket to start tainting. Cleaned out the bait freezer. Always a little something needs doing. Gotta keep your head in the game!


I trap for fun. I skin 'em for the money!

I dug out several milk crates of traps and organized and stacked them. Found a couple dozen #1 Blake and Lambs I forgot I had.

Today I daydreamed about prepping traps, scouting new locations, and setting traps while on my lunch break.

Hauled out some VERY ripe carcasses that should have been hauled out months ago. I never learn.

I actually set some beaver traps. It's hard to get stakes in though, still lots of frost.

I received my order from F&T today. I was like a kid. Now I'm reading a book that I bought, Fisher Trapping: Pennsylvania Foothold Methods

Jeff did us a good beaver demo. Claims it was his 1st, but I have doubts abt that. He has good skills and thinks outside the box to come up with innovative ideas on new ways to whack'em. Good job!
