I trap year round so it never ends. Hoping to make some coyote boards, have a pile of traps that need cleaned died and waxed. Another pile I would like to get the chains and swivels swapped out. I like the rod swivels on coyote traps, they bed nicer.

Been working on a system that will increase the number of boarded coons I can hang in my shop. It will be nice to be able to have more hanging at once.

Both types of trapping require a Plan, along with Plan B, Plan C

Don't know if this would work for you but I use unistrut and half a unistrut pipe clamp on the bottom of my boards. I'm going to add another length of unistrut this year.

I can turn the pipe clamp to the side if I need to stand the board up while I'm fleshing or prepping hides for the board. Then turn it down for hanging the board.

Trail cameras and fresh snow have broke a lot of trapper’s hearts.

That is a great idea. I will have to try that

It helps that I have 11 1/2’ ceilings.

Went through all my traps. Separated them into keep and sell piles so my kids won’t have too

Touched up paint on body grippers that I used last year
Set up and painted a half dozen new ones

Switched to PIT pans and rod swivels on Bridger 2s and SC 1.5 and 1.75
Boiled off the wax on 4 dozen traps. Will dye and wax when the weather cools off a bit
Dye on some new drags

Made some cable restraints and cable stakes

Organized all my lures

Still need to make up some wax dirt
