Now is time to get your traps repaired , adjusted and dipped, dyed , waxed what ever you use.  When fall comes ( and it comes faster than you think) , you can use the time for scouting and getting permission.  Also if you need to get remodling to your fur shed ect, now is the time.... Sweat now , not later  when trapping season is upon you....  yea you are allowed a beverage of your choice while your sweating!!!!!!!!!!!!

You,re right.... Fall does come faster than you think. That's why when trapping season is over with, I get busy right away on fixing, modifying, dips, dyes, organizing, and building floats.
In Spring & Summer is when I scout and ask for permission along with going back and talking with my property owners. This gives me a chance to let them know that I'm still around, I'm still interested, and just shoot the breeze with them over a few beers.

 Have dipped a few traps for conventions, they dry out so nice at this time of year.
 Now all I need to do,is find the time to get my own traps done.

Heat is so stiffling right now can't do much of anything outside without sweating through everything ya got on. Got my garage reroofed and the front side of the house reroofed. Was hoping to get the back of the house and back porch done this week. but I'm not going to rush up on the roof in this heat. shingles can set in the pile by the garage.

I don't think a dipped trap would dry to well with this humidty today??????

 Mark, I don't think anything would dry right now. When a guys glasses fog up--when going outside--you know its humid.
 Stay cool!!!

Isn't that a pain in the butt? bad enough a guy has to put up with fogging glasses in the winter. Now it's a summer thing too. What I hate worse is when you lean a bit forward and the sweat runs right down the center of the lense. What can ya say other than Lasex?

Oh for the love of God! You guys sound like a bunch of school girls. Try laying hot asphalt in this heat. It comes out of the semi's at about 300 degrees fahrenheit and then mix that temp in with this heat wave. When you do that, you'll have something to complain about! LOL

But TRAPnHUNT you get tempered to that stuff. The Mexicans are still roofing like crazy in my area. That can't be fun and I'm staying off my roof not so much cause I can't take the heat. But because walking around on as steep and angle as my roof is tears up the shingles. It doesn't matter with the ones getting riped off but I don't want the new ones all tracked up.
I feel bad for my kid, he spends all day cutting meat in a cooler than jumps in a hot truck to drive home. Flip side of that is he seems to last longer outside in the winter???
