I'm no expert, but that sure doesn't look like any grass fed beef I've ever seen. That looks like prime+. My mouth is watering just seeing it.

I've had a possum crawling under my house this past week. Two nights ago I set a cage trap right next to the crawlspace entrance, I put an egg in the trap for bait. Nothing the next morning. Yesterday I fried up some halibut, I poured some of the fryer oil into the back of the trap. I caught the critter by 10PM.
That's only the second possum I've caught in 55 years of trapping, so I'm no possum expert.

White cedar and western red cedar are very closely related to each other (many cedars aren't).
I just curious, what does the wood of white cedar look like?

Yes did you see the story? Unless gold goes up 20 percent they lost money. It can only be sold thru a gold broker and most charge 15-20 percent. So they got it in a safe Is it going to yield? Next year you open your safe and there is hundred dollar bill beside it

Why do you say that it can only be sold through a gold broker? I've never heard of that. Most gold bullion coins (Maple Leafs, Krugerrands, US Mint gold coins, and recognized bars, etc.) can usually sold by the individual at the current spot price. The dealers make their money on the sale of those products, usually $50-$75 per one ounce coin.

The buyer buys them from you online, then you send them to his local FFL dealer.
Probably your best prices. I would not go the route of selling them to a dealer unless you want to leave a substantial amount of money on the table.

Selling the low end guns at a local "junk" auction will generally bring you more than the guns are worth, except that many of those auctions charge ridiculously high selling commissions; often times 25-35%.

Pete, you think a slug would blow out the C-lect choke?


one of my first years hunting was a 16ga bolt with a c-lect choke missing a bunch of parts worked fine for slugs after the first couple but then it didn't work very well for anything else, the issue is when you have them not opened all the way up.
I wasn't around when they had it happen but someone had it when the area when shotgun only in the late 70s , so they ran a slug through it , broke the band and lost the outer ring , I don't know exactly how it happened but was told , yup first slug they ran with it chocked did that.

but also they don't have much for lock up it is the back of the bolt handle and it batters that bolt handle into the receiver.

so a slug here and there but besides being abusive to you it does seems to slam that bold handle into receiver

Do not move into that apartment. You will Regret it. For many reason. I am sure there is a place somewhere that is just as nice and for the same price or cheaper. Don’t do it. Marty

Buddy of mine that is multimillionaire told me before COVID never to buy gold bars only coins. I thought it didn’t matter but after seeing Costco story on news I see why. According to news reports each of those bars are registered. You guys don’t register your guns but you buy gold that is ? Government keeps track of gold bars I guess....

I produced a lot more fur when I was younger and held down a full time job at the same time, than i do now that i am retired with more time.
I thought I would be able to trap like a maniac once I took my pension from the railroad unfortunately things dont work that way.
I do keep in the fur game though by trapping, tanning,designing and sewing fur articles the latter being much easier,on the old joints and often more lucrative than trapping full bore.


You are trapping smarter, not harder!! wink Aging can be, and is frustrating, but we all might as well enjoy whatever we can still get out and do! smile I was hoping to hear more stories of high value catch days, just out of curiosity to see how what I considered to be some of my GREAT days, stacked up to others stories of their good old days! wink

Each season there are always one or two days that are extraordinary,I remember a few multispecies days in the 2g + range.10 years ago or so when marten and otter were good and cats and beaver fair.
i am sure you must have had a few 10g+ checksT4E with the amount of fur you have shown on here.
I am just talking about raw fur prices,not the prices realized by value added goods.(Still have many great returns on those) .

Are you a Ruger fan? Maybe red pad rifles or revolvers?
