the end of March. we do it at the end of season cause Jerry uses alot of them come October in Wyoming and he wont have time to dye them any other time.

have any of you dyed and waxed the traps youll be using yet?







the aluminum pot in the last pic is what we had the waX in that we used on the traps.

That's called being prepared.  Kinda/sorta like John cutting firewood.   I haven't even looked at mine :rolleye:
I say what I think not think what I say.

we cut , split and ricked 9 truck loads of firewood too,lol.

thats what we use for a little heat in the fur shed and it takes alot of wood to heat it all season.

Boy thats a lot of traps :eyebrownod:
I'm liking someones idea there of using those tree trunks as posts for that roof.  :eyebrownod: Those posts would run close to $50 bucks a piece.

the traps shown are about 25% of the traps we dyed and waxed.we had at least 3 other bunches not including the footholds for canines we did.


hes pretty inventive when he has to be. they use whatever they can from the farm to sav emoney.

we cut several locust posts to rebuild fence right off the property.

I would love to have a trap line that consisted of all those traps.  :yoyo:  My line is about 30 traps when I get to trap that is.

You guys are waaaay ahead of me. I say I'm going to get my traps cleaned up by the time turkey season rolls around every year and it never seems to happen. Then just like the flick of a switch its traping season and my traps aren't ready yet. I need to go get them cleaned up and looked over / repaired real soon before the heat kicks in and I don't want to mess with them.

Way to stay on top of the game :yoyo:

I will give you lots of credit for being ready.  If Jerry starts in October it is a pretty good idea to get it done now while it is not too hot.
