I am going to use a full sheet of plywood to dump hot traps onto for cooling and drying so we don't stain our pavers around the pit. I can't remember the last time we boiled/dyed traps over a wood fire and its dang time the boys learned how I did it years ago. Will be picking a bucket of walnuts soon for the job, too.

Last weekend I finished up on 150 gallons of waxed sand. All my baits and lures have been received. The buggy has been gone thru. I think I'm ready for Nov 1 when I'll set for coyotes. Will pull them for deer season, then reset till fur goes bad.
