Possibly doing a scratch back toward the odor as they often do to mark something.

Patents are great, but don't mean squat to the Chinks. They have no honor.

If anyone hasn’t gotten their hands on it yet, Tracy Truman just put out a book on cat trapping. It’s the single best source on trapping cats ever put together. From scouting, to locating, to catching, you name it. I highly recommend it. It’s not just another book with a guy’s opinion, it’s going to change the way many people think about trapping even coyotes. Thanks for the heads up. I did not know he wrote a bobcat book. Cool Beans. I have his gray fox book and DVD. Mac

Saskatchewan and Manitoba are not “right there with them”
Saskatchewan may be a wee bit closer,,,, but far from being right there,,,
Manitoba isn’t even in the discussion
After a successful Alberta independence referendum,,,, that would all change I’m certain
But that’s not what it’s about You're obviously a lot closer to the situation than I am so I am not going to argue with you, but I have spent a lot of time in Manitoba, Sask and Ontario, and everyone I've met who lives outside the larger cities in Manitoba and Sask and everyone in Northwest Ontario are soooo ready to cut themselves off from being yanked around by the urban liberals. I’ve lived 46 of my 50 years in rural Saskatchewan. If people you talk to in Saskatchewan are tired of being yanked around by the urban liberals you’ve been talking to very uneducated folk. Urban Saskatchewan is governed by the same conservatives in Saskatchewan that us rural folks are. They’ve been in power since 2007. My social circle is ranchers, grain farmers, tradespeople mostly and I’ve never even once heard anyone discuss separation.

From hiking a leg to pee on it? ![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2025/11/full-320-275166-img_0219.jpeg) Or from squatting to poop on it. I have often found old fox poop at my sets pulled months earlier. I'd guess coyotes do it too sometimes.

I trapped southeast Alaska for about 35 years and certainly couldn't count how many marten I caught over the years. 100s, anyway. I have taken them with small longsprings, 110s 120s, and even much larger traps set for wolverine and wolves, not to mention the odd few setting off 280s set for otter. Early on I started trapping them, and mink, with 110s. I found several marten and large male mink still breathing with those traps, including traps using elevated vertical flowerpot sets with the trap secured to a tree or limb. One was even clinging to the tree bark, taking a breath every 10 seconds or so. I was snowshoeing that line and assumed I had just caught that marten and that it would succumb to the trap shortly, so I continued up the line and would retrieve it on the way back. About 3 hours later, I arrived back at the set only to find the marten still clinging to the tree and still gasping. That was it. I ordered several dozen Belisle 120s, retired the 110s, and never looked back. I also evolved my techniques over the years, rarely using flowerpots, and very few vertical sets, mostly relying on leaning and horizontal poles and boxes, ALWAYS in such a way that keeps the dead marten off the ground. I also went to about 90% wood pedals for both marten and mink, which reduced refusals to nearly none, and almost always either a neck strike or perfect suitcase.

There has been several ungulates that got fat and happy from the apple tree. My daughter is several years old now and wants to atone for the eating of her apples, perhaps ill purchase a tag so she can do just that.

O honey I really dont know crap. Just so many people know even less so very basics and simple things can get them on track. I just parrot things I have learned from reading and listening to people like Warren Buffett. Some may have heard of him.
Try to shoot my advice down cool but that makes you the fool trying to say Buffet doesn't have a clue. Its very basic may want to make a sticky for this pro level advice.
Spend less than you make, avoid debt, and invest the money leting it compound over time. Simple concept will make everyone a millionaire if they start early enough.
Most people are doing what everybody else is doing expecting different results. Trying to look successful to impress people that dont matter and dont care. Do what everyone else is doing and get the same results.
Do you want to be rich or look rich. If you are busy trying to look rich you won't become rich. Doing this will keep you broke and never able to build wealth.
Your income from your job has a cap. Im a perfect example. I can only work so many hours in a day/week/year max. But there is no limit on assets you can own. So buying assets that build over time and will generate more cash flow than your job over time.
Avoid life style inflation. Get a better paying job and invest the added income dont upgrade the house or car car ect.
Always try to improve yourself. Reading and education can be nearly free. Knowledge compounds just like interest building over time. Make a clear plan and stick to it. This is much harder than it sounds.
There are a few basic sound bites For you yotetrapper30. Have fun trying to shoot holes in them.
Jbyrd63 had sound advice but was much to conservative for me at my age. CD and bonds were his game. He was risk adverse. Sure he won't loose much but have return that get ate up by inflation.
This change of course should keep this thread going a bit longer.
So, to paraphrase: Work hard, invest wisely and avoid foolish spending. I think I captured it all. That is some cutting edge advice right there and I appreciate you sharing it.

Well, hopefully the one you get with the landowner tag, has several more pounds of meat than you need to get through the season. You should be able to put several does and fawns on your small game license.
