Figured try to start a PA one early maybe see what all the fellow pa trappers are up to as the seasons getting near. When ahead and stripped and repainted a few dozen traps yesturday.
First a acid bath followed by a baking soda bath.
Then a good pressure washing followed by bare metal primer dip.
Then a week of air drying followed by 2 coats of fmj.

Looking good! I’m going to start working on equipment this week

Looking good hammer. I only got my traps power washed so fat and started my first batch of waxed dirt.

i've taken back up golf.

Thanks guys. Got about 4 more dozen num2 dogless to do up then that will be it for the traps not going to set probably the 50 I got done up yesterday but might get to it depends on how busy the shop is. Hornady, going to start making some wax sand and dirt sometime this weekend waiting on my wax to show up in the mail.

Pcr2 you putting up furs for people this year?

not sure what i'm doin yet unfortunately.

Got to cage trap 13 ground hogs off some properties this year that was almost as fun as coyote trapping almost lol. Probably made more on them jobs then I will off the coyotes this year

we seem to have had a heck of a coyote hatch this spring between what i've saw and reports from a lot a landowners.

I can agree on that pcr2 the properties I trap have had more sign then ever before. Must of been a good predator breeding season. Even the red fox dens that I've come across scouting all had good pup litters.

i havent touched any trapping gear yet lol

Drive down 255 this season you won't need to Miller I counted today on my way to work 15 big coon and 2 red fox.

i guess that's why they call 255 "The Million Dollar Highway." LOL

anyone goin to Clearfield Sat.??

Sweet! I think I'll be starting a thread here shortly as well.

I'll be there Pcr2. Lugnut you are probably on to something there lol.

ill be up labor day for a long weekend.
will get ahold of you

I'll be here keeping the elk around for you two miller.

Made a few CR's. Probably make bait and waxed dirt late Aug/early Sept. I don't run a lot of traps and probably never turn a big profit, but I absolutely love it. Hope to be at Clearfield this Saturday.

I don't see to many people showing up with all this crap going on.
