I done a little fishing this morning, watched a beaver in the pond swim and feed! Made me want to set a trap! 
dyed some traps this afternoon! Sure enjoyed the beautiful morning God blessed us with!

I painted all my big bodygrips today. Got ashamed of seeing them rusting.
What kind of paint did you use?
I had two gallons of green latex house paint I thinned and put in a tote. I dipped them twice, came out decent. I’ll probably go over with a cannot two of another color spray to blotch up.

Rustoleum is 50.00 a gallon so that’s out.
Latex does fine I used some latex barn paint from ace last time.
Mix it 3 to 1 water for a thick coat and of course add more to thin it on down.

My advice is get busy on other stuff.
I’ve been running swarm traps and fixing to put out a bunch of nets. Been checking my ginseng and golden seal looking for the odd mushroom gardening and still turkey hunting a little.

Do you boil your connibears traps to get the rust off?
Or better put what do you do to prepare them for paint?
I try and satisfy my trapping addiction with
Catching nuisance critters
Today it was 1 Ground Hog “Bait” for next year
And a Mole I been after my yard is tore up
Plenty more to go

I just made sure the mud was off them and any debris that may have been n jaws. My trap and fur preparation are similar. I just want them presentable and not perfect. Paint may not be perfectly even that’s why I’ll go over with spray a little. I don’t like a solid, uniformly colored bodygrip anyway. The blend in better. They might look better to humans but nothing in nature is square and perfectly colored.
