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...

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 dug out several milk crates of traps and organized and stacked them. Found a couple dozen #1 Blake and Lambs I forgot I had. So it was almost like Christmas for you today. Lol

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

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
