    Do you (I hope you do!) have a vent pipe/flex line of metal or plastic coming out the back of your dryer?  It should be vented to the exterior of your home.  There is at least one other system that vents into a plastic bucket I think with water in it?

    Either way, dryer lint is highly flammable and a gas dryer has a large flame that heats the air to dry your drawers.  An electric dryer has an element of some sort that heats up cherry red to dry said drawers.  Both can cause built up lint in the exhaust vent that hasn't come out in your dryers lint trap to catch on fire, resulting in a bunch of fire fighters to come to your home ASAP.

    What ya got there Paula??  We're here to help.......

     

    You cannot use the water lint trap for gas dryers .Electric only .

  2. Block down any water ways as soon as ice goes out with body grippers (blind set)-Make sure to use a dive stick,don’t want them swimming over top of your body grip-Toss in castor sets along banks .Footholds are preferred for castor sets ,but you will catch them with body grips also(run a drowner  if using foothold).You need guiding to make them go through the trap rather than around (block off)Don’t over think it .Beaver are as easy as catching muskrats ,just a bigger animal .You will run into trap shy beaver ,but you’re just beginning so  I wouldn’t worry about catching every one .

    2 year old beaver are dispersing this time of year to set up their own family and find a mate .Keep it simple .

    I am not an expert on yotes, since I don't actively predator hunt. However, I have taken several while deer hunting and a couple that made the mistake of trespassing on my lawn. None of the coyotes I have taken was worth anything for fur, everyone was infected with Mange. I question their protection as a furbearer when their hides often have no value. Also, our local population seemed to have rather dramatic swings in numbers. Years of scores of coyotes followed by a period of few if any coyotes. I blamed disease for these population swings. Don't know if it's the mange or maybe something like canine distemper. it was also my observation that a high fox population seemed to limit the abundance of coyotes by competing with them for food. I have a policy of not shooting fox unless sick but shooting every coyote on sight!

    Your  thoughts about coyote/fox are actually the opposite.Fox need managed just as much as anything else .You don’t kill fox ,something else will (coyotes,distemper,mange).

    Good to know

    I should say ,both are roundworms ,but the issue with the mink is slightly different where the worms live in the legs .
