Hey folks,

First year trapping here. At the end of season, what do you do to take care of your traps? do you just wash and dry them and hang them up, or do you dye and wax in anticipation of next season? what does everyone here do?

I want to make sure I take care of everything properly.

Thanks in advance from Nova scotia, Canada

Wash, repair and dye. Store in containers. Wax before season starts.

I've done everything from absolutely nothing . To power wash, re dye and waxed a week into the season.


Lately I've washed, let dry. Then dye/wax or paint about a month before season
