… yessir… he said it was likely made from a scrapped out lazy boy recliner
… hurt my heart
It was a toss up between the Lazy Boy or a chicano 1952 charp chevy with tuck & roll interior and plastic Jesus on the dash. I figured the Lazy Boy would be less hurtful.........
… me and the wife are about to ride into the city and get a steak… there I’ll drink large amounts of draft shiner bock …. And try to keep the ladies off me
You do the drinkin'. Its the wife's job to keep the ladies off of you. Thinking of it, could be why my wife is never overworked when we go out
Beaver here also that I caught a few recently and have more in the freezer I sectioned them right away it’s messy but beats whacking the frozen carcass with an ax in freezing weather.
Trying some sheep fence wire cubbies this year in the very remote locations will get some pics on that next week. I pulled several of by barrels last year the sheep wire pieces should roll up nice to pack in the breaks. I’m no spring chicken anymore. LOL
The old Bushnell trail cams spooked the yotes away from my cubbies. I’ll see what the Spypoint cams do I’m putting 4 out next week.
Last night while deer hunting I was was blessed with an awesome sunset. Then 30 minutes later a just as impressive full moon rising above the horizon. No pics as my phone doesn't do it justice and we were in deer recovery mode
Season opens in Michigan lower peninsula on Wednesday. I went out today and put together some cubbies and made a few dirt holes. Small amounts of bait at each set to grab some interest.
I’ll be putting out beaver chunks on Wednesday when I set. What are you mostly using for bait, Law Dog?
When I was much younger you could only trap beaver during midwinter in this part of Wis. An ice chisel was your friend and I know saved me from a cold bath or worse numerous times. Earlier this fall I was having some health issues and didn't set traps until season had been open a couple weeks. I finally felt about 50% good enough to put the waders on and catch some rats. One of my stops appropriately named "Mud creek " proved almost to much for this old trapper.After checking a couple sets I took a shortcut across the creek channel to get to the truck. I was wearing chest waders and thought nothing of it when I started sinking in the muck like has happened hundreds of times before. This time was different as the more I struggled the deeper I went. I wasn't to concerned as a Cty truck was working 100 yds away on the road shoulder. It was touch and go and i was completely exhausted by the time i extracted myself. I thought I might have to slide out of my waders but managed to get out of the predicament with no witnesses. Old age has finally caught up to me but not beat me yet. Stay safe out there.
I use two for my cat sets, but that's because for an exposed walkthrough, you are trying to draw a cat over the trap. Ill have one lure on one side of the trap, and a different one on the other. Normally a gland lure and curiosity lure. The thinking behind that is the cat will check out the lure on one side, then want to check out the other sent as well which it will have to step on the trap to do so. Cats gets curious and bored quick, two scents keep then interested. The call lure is just to get them in the area of the set, because cats love skunk.
Ive used the same lure on both sides before and have caught cats but stopped after I got a trail cam video of a cat smelling one side for awhile, getting bored, then turning around and leaving.
But for grey fox or coyotes, I've never seen the purpose of more than one lure for flat style sets, and lure and bait for dirthole style sets.
