Will be boiling the wax off of mine today.

Was hoping to take the kiddo to the show in d7. Last night had my second shift supervisor call me with bad news 2 cnc lathes crashed so that's now today's priority.

Working on the new trap shed while doing trap. Use to be my son's treehouse until I lowered it 6 feet. New roof with vinyl siding to install yet. It's nice out today

great workin weather for sure,i just came up thinkin it had to be close to noon only to see its pushin 2 and my house smells like a giant ham boiled dinner.

FEAST ON

Sounds good Mark. I will be smoking a pork butt tomorrow. Couldn't resist had to start a campfire.

18 mb550's ready to go and got the new door I stalled in my future trap shed.

Nice little trap shed. Waiting on a couple orders to come in and the daughter and I should be set to go. Spent the weekend cleaning up the garage for trapping season. Got the chimney cleaned a few loads of wood brought in plus filled the coal shoot. Also got both buggies tuned up did oil changes and new plugs and filters so those should be good to go. I'll do the jeeps the weekend before season.

im gonna get all my DPs nice n cleaned and dipped this week... then hang em up and look at em all fall and winter unless i get a serious urge around the end of november.

I don't blame you. I have 2 dozen brand new in a box probably will remain there till I'm gone and the wife sales them for what I said they cost

How much did you tell her they cost?

Was a joke. She doesn't care what I spend on my hobbie. She would just make sure the kiddo got everything when that time comes.

Did a little tinkering yesterday, adding better swivels to some used traps and making up a few grapple chains. These cool nights make it feel closer than it is.

PAskinner, that is what I've been doing. I purchased a bunch of traps at the Newville show and I've been taking advantage of the cooler days tinkering and tuning them.

When is everyone going to start trapping and for what target?

Starting the first day of season on a one single property. This is my last year to trap this particular property due to being developed into solar panels by next year, and I've had pictures of several yotes, and we've seen one fox in particular that we're really after

I'll be starting the first day as well. The kiddo will get to enjoy the entire season everyday this year being in cyber school so should be a fun year.

I guess that's one of the advantages of cyber school for kids like that, kinda makes me jealous lol we usually don't set until after deer season, but we've seen an albino fox 4 times now while dove hunting always within 100 yards of where we set so we want to get in after him asap

That would be something to catch.

Hornady Reloader nice shed. Neat to re-purpose the kids things, just cant always do that.

I'm enjoying this cool weather
