Unfortunately it sounds like snow we'll be around for long time, it shuts down coon trapping, I have only traped a lil on 2 weekends so far an was hoping to set out a bunch traps with 4 days off work, it has ruined all my trapping plans, usually we don't have snow this early any year

Drinking a beer watching football, will have a 2017 Slingshot Cabernet Sauvignon with dinner(beef), and an eggnog spiked with Pendleton, for nightcap.

...of Wonderful Wife's cooking I am about to explode! I should start identifying as a pig.

So the center spillway is not a good location on the dam? I have not much experience with beaver dams

I might get shot in Cajun country for suggesting this, but why not roll with all 3. Something we do quite often.

Very nice Bruce! It's good to see the hats come during the prayer. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!

My solution to the spinning problem was using single spring 160s/220s. Can still get spinning but rats get more centered with the bigger traps.

All my small bodygrips have 3-4 feet of 16 gauge wire so I just wrap the write around the stake if its in deep water though I usually have my tater rake with me so I just fish the trap out and not worry about it.

If I lost a wallet with money in it, I would be tickled to death just to get the wallet back. I lost one time and retraced my steps for hours to no avail.
The next morning after a sleepless night, I heard someone knocking on my door, but they were gone before I could get dressed to answer the door.
Someone had returned my wallet and put it in the mailbox. Still had the seventeen dollars in it.
I still don't know who returned it. I went to the Seven Eleven and handed a dollar to anyone who would take it, then told each of them the story.
Everywhere I went after that I did the same until those seventeen dollars were gone.
I'll net a big majority of those 17 people became better citizens from that experience.
Each one of them looked at me like I had 9 eyes when I asked them if they wanted a dollar. Once I told them the story behind it they all smiled brightly like I had made their day.

Commercial is the future of oysters. Apalachicola is closed to harvest until the end of the year minimum and has been closed the last four years. Alabama has instituted strict harvest regs. Meanwhile commercial leases have grown.
