I made some anchor cables for my CRs. I also asked the question if deer trails are good places to set for coon.

I set some gopher traps and some live traps for skunks. Neighbor called to report a roadkill skunk in front of his place. Got an ounce of quill off of him. Furs looking better every week!

Blocked a bunch of tanned fur so it holds its shape better and looks nicer. Makes a big difference in appearance to prospective buyers.
Been raining and blowing all day as Ian is moving my way so good day to be inside.

Spent 2 hours setting pan tension on 12 traps. Thank God I’m not a long liner!
Seriously though, I have a half dozen MB650s and they were giving me fits. Would be 3# one set, then next try wouldn’t even stay set. Finally realized there’s just enough slop in the pan bolt that setting past the night latch, then bringing the pan down, was important to taking up that slop, versus setting directly on the night latch. Then they were great. That little bit of slop means almost no pan tension in that first 1/8th inch of pan travel. Most of you probably knew that. Also noticed my ~7 year old laminated 650s have a vertical dog, but my newer cast 650s have a horizontal dog. The horizontal dog traps seemed to be easier to adjust and more consistent. I’m curious why the two versions of the MB650s have different dogs, if anyone knows?
I’ve been sayin yes sir all day at work, I’ve been sayin yes ma’am at home…
