The pictures bring back some memories of many, many years ago.

Looking good but your going to need a longer 2x4 before long. lol.. Last night I added some mid-chain swivels to a dozen 1.5's. And made some drowners for my MB750s.
Victory without honor is a great loss!

I have to add new shocks on some of my #3's, and bend, hammer, and straighten some of them out. Coyotes are rough on 'em. Also have 3 or 4 that I have to drill out the pan hinge and install new, bigger tension adjustment screws. The pans are almost like a two stage trigger, and move, stop, and finally slide off the dog. Thats a no-no when coyote trapping. The pan needs to break clean, like a trigger on a good rifle. Once I get all the pan tensions set to 3.5 lbs,, put a light coat of wax, and they should be ready. It just so happens I know where there are a couple coyotes just beggin' for some new jewelry!

This year Im going to try coyote trapping along with snaring. A friend has a lot of traps and he said I could borrow what I needed. Ive been watching videos and feel confident, so yotes beware! h.h.

There is nothing like the look and speed of a dyed and waxed trap! What color of paint do you use?
