M'y frend hello 🤝🤝👍👍👍👍

[@GeorgiaTrappingandFishing]

Hello my friend. Thank you for watching and visiting my channel 😊👏👏👏👍

[@FrankAndTinaOfficial]

Vinegar does a ton of stuff! It kills almost any Plants too. If you need to kill weeds on a driveway. Coffee knows his stuff for sure. We have been watching him for years. Great guy and Channel! That Vinegar worked great!

[@GeorgiaTrappingandFishing]

Thanks a bunch y’all! 😊 it sure does, I pored all that nasty water on a bush I’ve been tryin to kill for years 🤣🤣 vinegar is some strong stuff lol. Yep ol Coffey is a great fella too! I sure appreciate it! 😊🇺🇸🔥👍👍

[@lightofgodindarkness]

Great job brother thanks for sharing

Thanks so much for taking time to watch my friend! 😊🇺🇸👍🔥

Amazing Vinegar method thank you for sharing with us i learnt from you

[@GeorgiaTrappingandFishing]

Thanks so much my wonderful friend! 😊 I really appreciate you watching and the nice comment 😊❤️🌹👏👏👏

[@ALs-Outdoors]

Great tips brother. Back in the old days to protect rifles they did gun browning not bluing . It's a controlled rust and works great. My muzzleloader was done this way years ago.

[@GeorgiaTrappingandFishing]

That’s really cool AL! I’ve never heard that before. But ya figure they had to do it differently back then before blueing. I sure appreciate it buddy, I tried that speed dip but I wasn’t too impressed with it. Thank ya again brother! 😊🇺🇸🔥👍

[@foodruraltv]

Hello, dear friend very nice upload. Have a nice day!!! big like for you my new friend!

[@BLUEGRASSTRAPPER]

Hey Craig! It looks like they came out clean and lookin good 👍 Coffey outdoors is a great guy

[@GeorgiaTrappingandFishing]

Hey Enos! Coffey is a good fella! I learn a lot of tips from him. I’m hoping I can get away with making these last a couple of years before I have to do em again lol. 😊🇺🇸🔥👍👍

[@finleyriverkennels]

Howdy Craig I never made it back to Georgia if I was a steel trapper I sure would use your tips

[@GeorgiaTrappingandFishing]

Hey Jeff! Man I wish ya could a made it down here but maybe you’ll have another dog down this way soon. I sure appreciate ya brother and y’all keep treein em! 😁🇺🇸🔥👍

[@IndianHemlock]

They came out good Craig ! Never used the vinegar method, works pretty good !!👍🏼

[@GeorgiaTrappingandFishing]

Hey brother! It’s the easiest way I have found to clean em. Just really messy 😂 thanks a bunch for takin time to watch my friend! 😊🇺🇸🔥👍

[@eileenlynch1318]

Hey craig , do you worry about some vinegar scent left on traps possibly causing digouts?? Cheers for video 👍

[@GeorgiaTrappingandFishing]

Hey Eileen! I always rinse them really well with fresh water and you can add baking soda to neutralize the vinegar. And once they are dyed and waxed I don’t think there should be any scent left on them. Thats just my opinion though. 🙂👌 I appreciate the great comments!

[@huongtoituonglai24]

Amazing upload dear friend Have a wonderful day. 🎉🎉🎉

[@MarkJLarsonOutdoors]

Great job brother!! I just Speed Dip my traps anymore it's a lot faster and easier for me!! Good luck this season my friend!!

[@GeorgiaTrappingandFishing]

Hey Mark! I speed dipped some of my 330s and kinda made my triggers stick. I haven’t tried it with my leg holds yet though so I may try that next year👌👍 I appreciate ya brother and I hope ya have a record coyote year! 😊🇺🇸🔥👍👊

[@RandWFarmstead-TonyWalsh]

Interesting process Craig, thanks for sharing and hope you have a blessed weekend my friend.

[@GeorgiaTrappingandFishing]

Thanks Tony! It’s the boring part but ya need to do it 😂😂 makes it quicker to get ready for the season 😊🇺🇸🔥👍

[@marcthomas2482]

Cool stuff! I'll be awaiting the next one with dye and wax. Always thought trapping was interesting, but never pursued it. Visited Coffee and subbed!

[@GeorgiaTrappingandFishing]

Hey Marc! I sure appreciate that brother. You’ll enjoy Coffey’s channel too. I’ve always enjoyed trapping. You have to put the time in but like everything else it pays off 😊👌 thanks again buddy. 😊🇺🇸🔥👍👍

[@taggintailsoutdoors2282]

Yeah buddy almost that time.. I'm doing the same with all my Duck and deer hunting gear. I hope you have a wonderful year Trapping 💯🤘

[@GeorgiaTrappingandFishing]

Thanks a bunch Aaron! Yep not my favorite part of the year but ya got to get it done lol. Hope ya get a big buck this year brother 😊🇺🇸🔥🍻🍻

[@garymeldrum949]

Good job cleanning those up. Never did that with my old mushrat traps back in the 70’s.

[@GeorgiaTrappingandFishing]

Hey Gary! I seldom have to do my water traps either unless they get super rusty. Water trapping sure is a lot more fun lol 😂 I sure appreciate ya watchin brother! Hope y’all are good! 😊🇺🇸🔥👍👍

[@C4Carriger]

That funk that come off those traps looked like apple pie crust, or maybe I’m craving some pie?

[@GeorgiaTrappingandFishing]

Lol, it sure don’t smell like apple pie crust Phil 😂😂 it does look a little like it though lol. Hope y’all got your traps dyed the other day 😊👌👌👍

[@BoxcarJerry]

Hey Craig they cleaned up pretty good, can you reuse that solution ? Look forward to the next step . Take care my friend .

[@GeorgiaTrappingandFishing]

Hey Jerry! I thought about trying that but there is a lot of crud in the bottom of it. Guess I will just restart the process with some clean water.😊👌 it sure stinks too lol.I sure appreciate ya my friend! 😊🇺🇸🔥👍

[@dreamcreationsadventures]

Howdy Craig 🤗 I am doing some catch-up as I have fallen behind over summer. Caring for traps is a lot like caring for cast iron cookware. Crazy as it sounds I really enjoy this video of this awesome share of knowledge Brother I sure appreciate ya and wish you a wonderful whopper of a season ❤️‍🔥🙏🏻🤟🏻

[@GeorgiaTrappingandFishing]

Thank you so much Donna! I’m always playing catch up LOL 🤣 I surely appreciate ya my friend and thanks for the wonderful comments too! You take care 😁❤️🇺🇸🔥👏👏

[@tims6212]

Looks like a nasty brew! Wow. They sure did come out looking good though. Cool video. Thanks for sharing Craig.

[@GeorgiaTrappingandFishing]

Hey Tim! I appreciate it brother. It stunk so bad 😂😂 nothing like old vinegar and rust lol. Does a pretty good job though so they should take the new dye pretty good! Take care buddy! 😊🇺🇸🔥👍

[@MBHeritageFarms]

Its amazing at the uses vinegar has, Those traps cleaned up really nice. Have a great week Craig

[@GeorgiaTrappingandFishing]

Thanks a bunch y’all. Yep I agree, vinegar is like duck tape 😂 so many uses! I poured that tub out on a bush I’ve been trying to kill too lol. Y’all have a great week! 😊🇺🇸🔥👍

[@georgiaboy4410]

Never seen anyone make trap soup before. Did you can it? Lol. Good job buddy👍🏻

[@GeorgiaTrappingandFishing]

Lol, Hey brown! Man that stuff stinks but it works good. I imagine I’d have a good belly ache if I did 😂😂🇺🇸🔥👍

[@RaymondWilliams902]

I kmew some used vinegar to rust tje traps nit oy dod some job on cleaning tjem up to thamls for the lesson Craig

[@GeorgiaTrappingandFishing]

Hey Raymond! Yep it’s the quickest way I’ve found. I use white lightening to degrease them and it works good too. I appreciate ya watchin brother! 😊🔥👍👍

[@cabotbluegill]

came out very well we use to do the boil in Lye which was a lot of hot work and always ended up getting burne with the lye. I see some guys spray painting some flat black wonder if it worked

[@GeorgiaTrappingandFishing]

Hey Howard! Yes sir that Lye is rough on your hands, the vinegar takes a little longer but much easier on your skin lol. I’ve seen people paint traps but I ain’t a fan of it. Seems to flake off quick to me. I can usually get away with cleaning mine every other year this way. Thanks for watchin buddy! 😊🇺🇸🔥👍

[@805BBQJUNKIE]

Oh dang that was crazy how it looked all kinds of slug great stuff and then it came out nice and shiny

[@GeorgiaTrappingandFishing]

Hey Jorge! Yes sir that’s some nasty smelling stuff lol. Gets em clean though 😂👌 I appreciate ya brother 😊🔥👍👍

[@waterbugofthausa7723]

Hey there Waterbug! I appreciate that brother. I hope y’all have all been doin good. Mighty hot up here now but I’m hoping we get an early fall. 😊🇺🇸🔥👍

[@JudyandSpirit]

thanks for sharing your knowledge. You need a 40 gal. tub with a drain plug. have a great evening and take care Craig

[@GeorgiaTrappingandFishing]

Hey Judy! Lol yes I agree 😂 I had to dip that one out until I could dump it. I tried to do too many traps at once hehe. I hope y’all are doing well and you are picking lots of veggies now 😊🇺🇸🔥👏👏

[@ThecrazyScotsman]

Never done any trapping, however I am game and sounds like a great reason for a road trip

[@GeorgiaTrappingandFishing]

Hey brother! If ya make it down this winter we will definitely run the trapline! 😊👌 I think you’d like it. I appreciate it. 😊🇺🇸🔥👍

[@jamiescountryliving]

Yes Coffey outdoors has a great channel as well. Been a friend of his for a long time.

[@GeorgiaTrappingandFishing]

[@streeterboyzoutdoors]

Well done Craig it's the cheapest way to do it. Yeah Coffey is the best no doubt.

[@GeorgiaTrappingandFishing]

Hey Shannon! Yes sir I agree! 😊 just put em in and let em cook lol. Coffey is a wealth of knowledge too! I appreciate it brother. 😊🇺🇸🔥👍👍
