Not being a a## here but you need to take care of your traps clean them good and hang i hang mine outdoors under roof is all i do but i redye everything every year. If you dont take the time and do it you are going to be more frustrated and wondering why you not catching. Being lazy and wanting to be a trapper don't go hand and hand. Again not trying to be an a##. Just my 2cents
links to these ? why need to dye?
I like this idea, thank you sir
Do you like this plan:
Link to what why do you use dye and wax or why do maintenance to them ?
No real need for wax but before I would paint them i would rust them real good then dye in log wood dye or boil walnut hulls and dye then full metal jacket and tben all you would need to do is clean them at the end of the season and hang outdoors perferably under a roof or inside a barn. The reason i dont like paint is flaking and scent control. You will hear people say it will not smell after a couple weeks i beg to differ. If you have ever had a pregnant wife i guarantee she will be able to smell it and if she can i k ow a predator can
No need to. When they dry they will slightly rust. This will give them a brown color
gotcha ya, so if i have a small amount of rust on them now, go ahead and dip after I clean, I have not ruined the traps per say right?
thanks WILD LIFE!That's right. Dry then dip. You may want to dip them a 2nd time just to make sure you get them covered well.
