Got a handful of DP's from the wife and kids. Do you guys treat (dye, wax, boil in baking soda, etc.) your new DP's before you put them in a set? With the lack of deer I have seen this year, I am going to skip the doe hunt and make my first sets, tomorrow.
I've got some I've dyed in logwood like I do my other traps. I also have some i've painted white. They say the white paint makes them more visible to the coons. Probably so, but I don't see much difference. I've used golf balls, white cups, or even white plastic grocery sacks wrapped around them for the visibility factor. Good luck!
