Some square tubing, 1/2in plate, some good drill bits and a welder would do the job.

duct tape n jb weld.

finally got a lil rain.

walked past some traps today--close as i been in a while.

divin head first into the workshop today,then the house/store later in the week. bleep the rona-i'm goin back to normal.

Nevermind my idea Pcr is onto something.

Talked to a pro welder, said he'd stop over this week and I need to get beer lol.
This tractor is shaping up pretty nice.

Got about 1/4" rain here too. Maybe more later.
Definitely more in Oct.

Any of you fellow pa trappers use many mb 650s? Thinking about ordering 2 dozen with inside lamination.

any one else finding evidence of a BIG coyote resurgance??have had coyotes wake me up 4 nights in a row and don't think i've talked to a landowner yet that aint said worst they ever heard em.

Dying and waxing is mostly done. Still have a dozen new traps to do and some odds and ends.

might do some cookin and trap work and what not next weekend anybody wants ta stop in.

Definitely seems to be.

I had pics of 2 large ones on trail cameras.

I will be waxing my 1.5 coil spring traps I use for mink trapping tomorrow with CoonDuke. Todd was kind enough to dye them for me, the wax job will get underway around 8:00 AM.

Reminder: Big show at Newville this coming Saturday. Lots of Vendors already committed and lots of tailgaters expected.

Placed a order for the kiddos birthday gift. She is turning 10 October 14th. She loves going trapping with me and last year started to make her own sets. Well she got her first coyote did everything but set the trap I set them for her and drive the wolf fangs in if not on a drag. Well now she is comfortable setting them with her feet. So she wants her own trapping stuff now instead of using dads haha. So order a dozen k9 extreme jrs, some heavy duty j hooks, crunch proof swivels, sifter, trowel, baits, urine, carrying bag, some chain for drags, gloves, and few other little things. So should be a good gift. Hopefully she sticks with it and passes it down to her kids if not atleast she grew up knowing trapping and what it's all about and enjoying the outdoors.

good stuff hammer!

Parts all made for tractor, man started welding and his machine went down. We tore into it and it aint looking good.
In search of 220v stick welder he can use or new welder guy. Always something.

So I switched gears and got traps dyed.
I have dry wood if anyone wants to use my set up, I'm almost done.

Thanks when you making it back this way again? Did you get to catch some elk singing?

Sent ya a PM
