Jasens 2016-17 season

[jasnt]

2017: the year of leaky waders! My two buddy's and me have killed two sets of chest waders and three sets of hip waders in the last month!

what are you doing to them? Lol. I think mine is a seam leak, they where used when I got them last year. It's about time for new ones but $$ is tight for me this time of year!!!  Hopefully a lil shoe goo will get me threw

Jasnt,
If you really want something good to fix those waders get rid of the shoe goo and get some NP1 poly urethane sealant.
I've been using it for several years and it is the best stuff. It seals permanent and stays flexible. It seems to stick to about anything no matter how slick. I have even patched holes in the soles of my boots. It just never comes unstuck.
Downside is I only have been able to get it online and it only comes in gun grade. Also it takes a couple days to cure.
If you open the tube as usual after a while the entire tube will harden. Here's a trick to avoid that. Put the tube in the gun and puncture the tube near the back of the tube. Advance it enough to get what you want, then take the tube out and wrap it with duct tape to reseal it.
I would never go back to shoe goo or aqua seal or any of the other similar products

Thanks Bruce I will order some. Haven't used the shoe goo yet, I was hoping it would be better than the ruber cement I used before. If you don't mind I'm going to copy and paste that in the tips & tricks thread. 👍🏻

Caught another nice beaver. Fencing off the other run I think helped. Still a lot of beaver in this area so I'll try to pull one or 2 more from this spot. Still no rats why cause the sign is there.  First pic is the set 2nd is the fenced off run

46.2 lbs

That looks like an ideal spot for a swim thru. Nice catch.

Can't wait till my son is old enough to check with me next year! Keep that fur train rolling!

Another big rat in the swimthrew today. Still no rats in my colony traps but the swimthrews are producing.  Did a little scouting down river and I think I found some seas that maybe more productive

im sure they are their.   They been going around all my rat sets this year

Well it's been dry last couple checks so I'm moving down river next check. Left them there one more since my fencing got pushed threw up stream so I double up on the fencing and moved the set a little farther up stream. Seen some otter sign near by so I'm hoping to have one. Hoping to be back after the cats by the first. I've got a ton of beaver meat right now so I'm setting up some more pre Baits this week. Been seeing cougar track almost every check,sure wish we could trap them!!! This last check looked to be a much larger cat

Any chance I could get a couple of beaver from you later this month or next?  If not no problem, I need some bear bait over in Idaho and I'm not going to get a WA trapping license at the end of the season.

Got some new blades today. Top is an F.Dick skinner Followed by  Victorinox Skinner and Victorinox Forschner 6" Flexible, Curved Boning Knife .  Looking forward to putting them to use, soon as this beaver thaws out.

Nice, I just ordered a Damascus steel beaver skinner.  Can't wait to get it, should have it in 2 weeks, it's being custom made.
