I only dyed the dp traps to clean them up good. Still have 3 dozen conibears to do but I was worn out yesterday. I've honestly got way more traps than I could possibly use!

Have you used Kendal's newer K9 extreme traps? I have his older ones with the laminations being round rods instead of flat on top and bottom. I was wondering about using his coated ones, and if they needed to be dyed each year? God Bless, David B. Premium member #8925 Team Rack Addicts 2016 Aldeer Deer Champions

God Bless, David B. I'd have to go look and see David. The coated ones I bought were showing rust at points where they were metal on metal so I dyed them with the rest a couple years ago and now I can't even tell which ones were coated to begin with. At no extra cost when I buy more they'll definitely be coated. Last edited by North40R; 12/09/18 09:34 AM. Adopt the pace of nature, her secret is patience. Emerson

I've got 4 different properties to set. This'll be the most traps I've ever had out at one time if I manage to set all 4 places this coming weekend. Adopt the pace of nature, her secret is patience.

That's why I started building up my collection of double long spring traps! I'm going to run a line with nothing but double longs on drags next week. Adopt the pace of nature, her secret is patience.
