Who's started? I'm hoping to start some soon!

I started a few weeks ago! Normally I just work on a few every night after work, and I usually have them all ready by fall.

I started the day after I pulled my traps!

I always procrastinate till a week before season and then rush t get it done quick, hopefully I get done earlier this year

I've started it myself. I give my new traps a hot water dawn dish soap bath for a few days occasionally changing out the water to make it hot and soapy again. After that I let them rust somewhat and I wire brush them really good and then I spray paint them. As long as your traps are rusted enough the spray pain works wonders. If its bare shiny metal the pain wont stick and the paint will come right off especially after a few catches.
