Lots of folks use cereal rye as a cover crop. Hard to tell the difference until it starts to stem.

Happy Birthday John

Looks good.iam not to much into spicy jerky though.

Looks good!

I usually stick a toothpick through an end and hang the strip in between the oven rack bars, you can hang a LOT of strips on 2 oven racks and no grates to clean....just need a box of toothpicks handy....

Did you have any concerns with the speed of this trap with that setup initially? I have some Bridger #4's modified exactly like yours, square lams and all and they are without a doubt the slowest traps I own, even when waxed. So slow I don't really have the confidence to set them.

oil from cooking makes them sticky as well

them Ruger-Marlin trappers sure come to the shoulder easy
I was about to buy one of the new ones when an older one in 45-70 made it's self a deal I couldn't pass. still 16 inch barrel just not officially called a trapper like the new Stainless steel trappers models

Looks mighty good.

You know Im not sure what the little pump is. Just now looked at it again after see your post. I didn't open it so I'm not sure if it is diaphragm or some type rotorery? I also have a 12 volt suction pump I saved off an old ambulance. I had it rigged up at one time and was using gallon jars from deli. Was to much messing around with lids for small batch items. I do wish I could find wide mouth Mason style jar in gallon size. But most every thing I marinate I can get in half gallon jars.

This is pump in.litte jar unit.


This is the 12v pump I snagged off old ambulance. Was actually thinking of getting rid of it and out of my way. About time I do the piddler n me would regret that. I have we a hard time not see value or use for to many things.
