Good morning Mole and all.
68°F clear sky and a light breeze. Have a great Wednesday everybody.

I’ve used 2 trap brands for coyote trapping over the years and was pleased with both of them. The Montana #3 offset and MB 550 both in closed jaws and offsets. I’d buy either if arthritis wasn’t a problem. Now I’m learning the art of snaring canines and find it’s much easier on the wrists.

Nice! Thanks for posting

Try an attractant to add with the bait in the DP. Living adjacent to a golf course provides me plenty. They also help
keep mice out, and shed some rain. I drill a shallow hole in them in case I want to add a drop or two of fish oil. If you’ve ever drilled into or cut into a golf ball, different brands have different materials and colors. I’m not a chemist, so I don’t know if the fish oil reacts differently or not. I’ve learned their favorite color, and just about learned their favorite brand.

…. Only Girl Scouts use dp’s

… get yourself some 1.5 sleepy’s on a light chain and drag and a couple cans of jack mackerel… make it sporty lol

Even if it turned to mush, if it was attractive to coons before, it still should be.

Looking for tanned Beaver hides on willow hoop for a buddy’s hunting lodge thank you 940-636-3355

Thanks guys,,, I don’t know a whole lot about coins,,, so I don’t want to mess any of them up… just curious to see how old some of them are.
One I clearly was able to read was 1864 on one of them.
There was also some silver spoons in there too.

Some coins were probably not worth much, from Korea, Germany, Greece ( I think) Panama with dates from the different years from the 50s/60s.. but pretty darn cool to look at.
The ones I think are from Greece has some guys image on there that look like Alfred Hitchcock a bit.

I like the state parks I am also in tent

Peninsula state park is one of the oldest and largest state parks in the system

so even if you day trip to it from a place you can get hookups , the one of those I am familiar with I haven't been to in probably 30 years is Harbor village in Carlsville it is a decent distance to most everything else on the peninsula

I will be camping on the Island Next week with friends but we are in tents. The Washington island campground has hookups at least water and power.

Laying hens are programmed to slow down or stop laying once the period of daylight is reduced to a certain level.......it may be around 8 to 10 hours of daylight. Make sense if you think about it as that would normally be in winter, so if they went to roost at dark, it would be another 14 hours of so of darkness. No food, no water and no heat and perhaps sub zero cold for 14 hours. They would have to make up for that in what few hours of light they did have. Consuming enough feed, water, etc. to get them thru the night. So shutting down egg production takes one huge level of stress off them. Egg production being secondary in importance to simply surviving.

But commercial houses.........that can be lighted, started the practice of turning lights on in the barn to extend period of daylight to keep them laying. That may be what some people try to do. They do not need, nor should they have light on all night long. They need a roost period to reset. Next mistake people make is to put in timers.........and do the light at dusk. Lights come on, then after 3 or 4 hours they turn off......catching chickens off guard and running around, now in the dark. Did not go to roost. So if you do use the lights, have them come on in the morning. Birds are on roost, lights come on......they start their day. Then let them go to roost in the PM using normal dusk and dimming light.
