Pretty simple, just put a big pile of walnuts in a barrel, bring it to a boil add your traps, wait 5-10 min and remove the traps from the dye. If your traps have a nice light coating of rust they dye very dark. If they are shiny they would dye as dark.

The black color really comes to life when you wax.

Yes they do!


I got back into trapping with the idea of not making any money and so far have been quite successful.
