I am going to try and make a pair of gloves out of them. Then I would like to give one to my wife's grandpa because he help get me started. I will definitely keep posting pictures. Will be checking traps tomorrow. I'm also going to set some traps up for mink I don't know if there are any around...
After seeing Randy's post about trapping muskrats, I went out and tried to catch a few of my own. I was able to catch my first ones today! I got extremely lucky with one. I don't know how you could come any closer to not catching it.
How many traps do you run? I went out yesterday and set some. I have never caught muskrat before. Do you have any pictures of how you are stabilizing your conibears on your pole?
If any of you guys live near or are traveling through Casper, Wyoming, I suggest you make a pit-stop at Sportsman's Warehouse. There is a bull elk that was taken near Dubois, Wyoming on public land. The bull was taken with a crossbow and scores out to be 426.
My mother has worked at Montana canvas for 25 years. there ultra light canvas is a very good product. they had quality issues with it in the past. I believe they have switch to a little heavier canvas now that should hold up better.
