Gotta remember, the gubment says there has been no human death by wolves in the US ever. I read that "quote" quite often. Living in Colorado wolves are a really big topic of conversation. When game is scarce and wolves are plentiful, seems to be the trigger for attacks around the northern hemisphere, Russia, Europe, North America. This could possibly begin again in North America, (with enough wolves). I guess I don't think the wolves ate every thing every where. They still give out doe tags and cow tags in most states. ND used to give out 140,000 deer tags a few year ago and give out 40,000 now, and we have very few wolves. I think the wolves are blamed for a lot that they don't do. But, I don't talk to the guberment as often as most of you do.

A willing employer and a willing employee decide what a fair wage is.
I do agree that this simple concept has been screwed up by the government.

I dream constantly. Bizarre dreams.
But I often do dream about my pets current and past. When my beagle Sampson was getting old and losing weight with renal failure, I can still feel his little body in my arms, the exact way he felt when I picked him up, and his silky floppy ears.

Good to see you post Skippy! I'm right there with you at 76 years old. Had to cut back my trapping this fall due to some health problems. We do what we can do. I'm still catching some rats and mink. Might have to pass on beaver this year. Good luck to you sir.

I also think it unfair that labor can organize without consequence. All employment should be free will contracted between individuals.

Food processing plants typically employ a lot of migrant workers. Once they're all run off who will do that work? BP, I don't think the idea is to run off legal migrants. The employer just needs to pay the legal ones a little more money.

The mistake is fair thinking. Life isn’t fair, get over it. This, however I would say that it is grossly unfair for govt collusion with employers to flood the zone with cheap labor or to fix prices in the free market exchange of labor for wages. IMO, the labor market in the US should be strictly limited to US citizens and totally free of any mandated minimums or benefits.

I start at $25, idk what's fair, it's hard to get people started at $25 so I may need to go higher. I have a low tolerance for bs from employees so that weeds out a lot of losers. Funny, I have low tolerance for employers. I work for people I like.  Showing up on time is the main hurdle for new employees, if your going to be late and don't even have the courtesy to call or text don't show up at all. It is not 1981. There are jobs everywhere and employees suck. That is why I get hired, because I don't suck as much.

If you don't like the going wage from any given employer , learn how to make yourself more valuable to that employer. If you still don't like it , move along
This equates to fair wage
Forced wage rates skew everything
Unions are the worst , grown arse adults striking because they " think " they are more valuable then they are
Self motivated hard working individuals get screwed the worst in a union .......carrying total loosers along with them .....on thier journey upward , watering down their own potential.
Can't convince them of that though I like a man with a clear thought!!

Eleven Native school children and teacher hospitalized after grizzly bear attack in British Columbia. I wonder if any Natives regret fighting to ban hunting by white people of Grizzly bears in 2017. Now they are the ONLY ones allowed to hunt Grizzlies there. I feel for the kids, but question the self serving greed of the Nuxalk Nation. I don't know how to post the article, but maybe someone on here can?

Well, I got paid $2.50/hr back in the late 80s for working on the neighbors farm. Farmer paid more ($7.50/hr) on the weekends for pitching manure with pitchfork. Needless to say I pitched as much poo as possible and I thought I was rich. Lol

When Bob saw a shotgun he would go nuts. He would jump up and down and bark, he thought we were going rabbit hunting. I hunted ducks in a river about a quarter mile behind the house. Before I went duck hunting I would put Bob in the house so he would not see me leave. I was married at the time and when my wife would get up she would let him out. I knew when she was up because I could hear Bob howling and following my trail back to my duck blind. He would show up and then I would be hunting ducks with a beagle and a Chesapeake Bay retrevier.

Really simple...
Marinade
2 oz Worchestershire Sauce
2 oz Cider Vinegar
2 oz Soy Sauce
2 oz Liquid Smoke
Place marinade and jerky slices into a gallon sealable freezer bag(dont use the ones with the tab zipper). Put bag in refrigerator for 12-24 hours
Remove and drain the slices.
Season slices with favorite rub, I prefer cajun style rubs.
Put in dehydrator/oven/smoker until slices start to crack when you bend them.
Allow to cool to room temperature before placing into storage containers. Though jerky at is best to me is when its still warm.
