Bryce, we got 33 gallons. We have a spare fridge. Dad gets 10 gallons, he freezes a lot of it. And we'll ferment 5 gallons.

Yes great picture. That sounds like a good recipe. They are one of my favorite meals.

Yep that is about right for here too. Just been interesting how nothing no sightings now for over a week.

I have caught escaped mink before and have never received a good price for them. Why would that be. They all end up at a auction somewhere?

So, do you take the pan off when you want to treat/wax the trap? I know some cat guys in the SW don’t wax their traps.

Good morning to all my bros and sisters out there. I guess most of you are getting ready to string you lines. None for again this year. I am still trying to find a place to call my own. Not only are real estate prices so, the people in the business don't seem to want your business unless it is for top commissions. Well, I don't have money for a 200k or 300k house so am stuck at the bottom of the pile. The agents either don't respond or when they do respond and they see what you want to just go "POOOF". I spend 8 more many days online searching through many hundreds of houses. If it isn't the banks, agents... then it is the sellers. Was ready to go with bank preapproval on 3 different homes... first house... Lewisville, Monroe Co. ... Owner refused to have the utilities turned on until sale was final. (Bank pulled plug.) 2nd Home... Arrangements made bank preapproval.... set to go meet with agents, home In Guernsey county, Camp ground area, but a permanent home, .... the agent for to tell me You can't live there year round the ground is closed in the winter. Home 3, Couldn't make contact with listing agency, so had to find and other agent from a different agency... Plans set to view, bank preapproval, the agent notifies me the seller is still living in home needs 24 hr notice to view, But also he is demanding to have nothing less then the amount ask and is to be paid in cash at the closing. No checks. (the bank said (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) NO).

Now I have my eye on a couple more properties I have got other than a blanket pre approval from ban covering the cost but not on individual houses. First house is in Steubenville... any readers her familiar with the town or area.....????

The second on house is in Washington Co., Marietta,..... Anyone living there.....????

Right now I am still staying in Westerville, Ohio.... Steubenville is I guess 3 hours from here.

Or does ANYONE know any real estate agents in either place. I need some assistance... winter is here and I need to be out of here before the first of the year. I am paying $110 a month storage for the little bit I have left. And desperately need to get home of my own.
Just a roof over your head isn't enough sometimes. You need peace of mine and a place to find it in.

Love you all... and may God bless us all.

There are two Silencer Shop dealers locally, but neither have a kiosk. They do the old school ink method.

Yep cutting them up don't take long. We have cut our own up since I was a kid and now passing it on to my kids. With them and my wife I would say 1\2 HR to 45 minutes.

I use 3\16 quick links on my cable stakes. So far I haven't had any problems. Make sure they are tightly closed. I've even held incidental wolves with them, which I wish wouldn't get caught. Not fun to release.

Personally I’ve never liked the magnum .300’s in any configuration. Only thing worse are the hopped up 7mm’s. My .338 win mag and my .375 H&H are my babies!!

I like a light coat of white grease on the ammo it helps 10/22 suppressed cycle. It does get very dirty quick. I am moving to a bolt 22.

At least Good enough to do head shots on rock chucks out to 100 yards.
Heads up for those that don't know 22LR is nasty dirty was really surprised after a 100 round day punching paper then looking inside the can.

I know people use them. In the past I used them too but I lost a trap once and that was one too many. I am probably overreacting but I don't like losing traps and animals. The quick link was used between the anchor chain and the end of the trap chain, between swivels. The set was on private ground on a sandbar along a creek. There were no boot tracks or even disturbed sand outside of the catch circle and the animals path in and out. The quick link was on the ground outside of the catch circle a bit and open just enough for the chain link to pop through. I had used pliers to tighten it down but apparently the fight from a coyote was enough to loosen it. Now I used welded J hooks for everything. Again, probably an over correction and not necessary but that memory has stuck with me.

You don’t even have to go have it done anymore. They send you the fingerprint card. You do it in your living room. Or your kitchen. lol.

Without ink?

I’ve got a number 3 double longspring I picked up somewhere,, it’s got outside laminated jaws,,,but the chain was still in the original clevis…I just felt like tinkering with it. To center swivel it and put it in to use.

I have some old baseplates laying around… so I just drilled some holes and bolted them onto the frame ( I don’t own a welder) . I’ve done 3 dozen Montanas like this..
However,,, I couldn’t locate any of the d rings I had left… so I put a 1/4 inch quick connect on the bottom,,, and looking at it ,, I don’t feel comfortable with it…
Any opinions about this??
