There is a case to be made that since NFA is a tax scheme and if there is no tax it has no standing and these must be removed from it. Ammo that can be used down the road.

In the flip side several states prohibit suppressors and they are only allowed if they have bee federally registered so in those states if they came off the nfa they may not be allowed.

Pennsylvania and Texas are two I think I heard people have that concern in.

The industry is slowly collapsing, we are losing our infrastructure. Very few country fur buyers left, the ones quitting are not being replaced. Only one major auction house left. Some states don't have any country buyers. What is a kid going to do, who catches a few raccoons and muskrats and the nearest buyer is 100s of miles away and he doesn't have the knowledge or experience or equipment to handle the fur. When I was kid starting out, you could walk into a fur buyer and get some tips on how to skin and put up your fur. You could rub shoulders with more experienced trappers. Often times you could skin for the buyer and get paid piecework or trade your time for some traps, you got to hang out and see other trappers come in and pick their brains. There was a fur buyer easily accessible (either fixed location or traveling) in almost every town or at least within easy driving distance. These days are gone forever.

The main species are all in trouble, nothing even remotely close to the cost of production. Same as fur buyers, experienced trappers who are aging out or dying are not being replaced by younger trappers. There was a thread recently, about trappers ages, most were in their 60s and 70s. Craft sales aren't enough to sustain an industry, not even close.

There is a phrase often quoted from a 1926 Ernest Hemingway novel, The Sun Also Rises: ”How did you go bankrupt?” Bill asked. ”Two ways ” Mike said. ”Gradually and then suddenly." This to me sums up perfectly the state of the wild fur industry today.

How far from next water? I see beaver do that all the time to go from pond to pond or over pond dam to putflow creek.

But coon, otter, and turtles will use those trails as well.

I've had luck hanging snares on them, staying within ten feet of water to stay legal. Coons and otter slip through or knock down beaver sized loops, mostly, snappers not so much but they aren't as bad to roam dry ground as they do channels with 330s.

He would have appeared as a man? Distain for cain? The 6th day creation theory explains the existence of civilizations (on all continents at the same time ? ETC. Is there any scripture to back any of this other theory.
It seems like there's alot of reading between the lines with vivid imagination.

Too bad the theory is nothing like what is actually written.
Which said the fruit was on a tree in the garden, not that the snake was actually a man, and the tree was, well, nothing, and the fruit was sexual....If something is symbolic, it makes a lot more sense that the "seed" spoken of was spiritual, instead of going way out of context and making the whole garden, and thier actions an allegory for something else. The seed of the woman is Jesus and the seed of the snake is all anti Christ people.

I wore crape (white soles) lace up boots when I was doing seamless gutter. Did lots of metal roofs (farm pole buildings) 30 years ago..
FYI 500 feet was the longest. FYI 2 Step on the screws

I've always worn my Red Wing 402's on roofs. They have what they call a Supersole. I don't know what that is but they don't have much of a tread when knew and it wears off quickly.

The soles are soft and grip well on asphalt shingles, slate and shakes but nothing really grips well on steel. I'll walk on shingles up to a 9/12 but I'll be slipping and sliding on steel at a 6/12.

Game cam time. Wait trail cam time.

I haven't found a good one yet, was up on mine hosing out the gutters & fell off. Luckily it was on the one story side & I landed on my feet. Good thing is wife seen me go down & I haven't had to put up Christmas lights since.

That foam trick works for hot shingles to

I wear whatever has the most tread worn off of them, more contact
I change shoes on the ladder, I don't wear my steep roof shoes on the ground
Falling isn't fun
