BUSY TIME OF YEAR
« on: September 23, 2007, 12:33:49 PM »
 One more convention and I am done with them for the year.It's a little bit more than a month till our water season open's.
 I have a good number of traps to get dipped and tuned up along with the usual last minute odds and ends.
 I talked with Harlan today(he welds all my stabilizers and trap laminations), he is willing to work with me once again.So in a week and a half or so, I will be picking up a load of steel and turning them into stabilizers.Steel prices like everything else have risen dramatically,I will not actually know what I will be charging for them till I am done. I actually have a partially completed catalog that also must be finished.
 If I can round up some more castor shortly, I have more Moundmaster to make and bottle.
 This is a hectic time of year, but it sure is fun.
 Hope you guys are enjoying the getting ready part.

I know my last post said I was trying to get motivated, I still am. I did however just come in from dipping and sorting some more coon traps. Went through my Grizz's yesterday and got them all squared away to go. TRIED to shoot some trap today with my son. Man was that a crash and burn on my part LOL! If I shoot birds that way this fall I'll quit.  I hit so few it's not worth mentioning how many. My son shot pretty darn good for never shooting trap on a real range. Always used our own ground or hand thrower. But I think a 17, 16 & 20 don't suck for a first time.
Tomorrow I may actually go work on some permissions and take a drive over the line........
Your right it is a busy time of year.
But it is the best time of year,,,, or at least it will be very soon :-)

Goose season,girls and metal detecting have been getting in the way of equipment.I have to get started as it's 15 days until I start trapping the flea taxi's.
