I was going to buy one just to hold the traps open while i file off sharp edges, even 1-1/2's can be hard on little grey fox. I'm thinking of going to the 450's see if they are easier on them. I hate to see a cut foot on an animal a customer might also see that, makes us look bad.
I thought I was doing good yesterday when I filled up the diesel for 4.35 per gal. Then I thought "wait a minute - what was I paying for diesel in 2020 ------ 2.something" I guess I need to increase my hourly rates to make up for this ( already have but not nearly enough). Sooo glad bidenomics and build back better is working to someones benefit.
Anyone know where you can get cheap salt in bulk, regular not coarse. Best I could find on the internet was 25 lbs for $30, not too bad but wondering if it could be found cheaper
A mother’s love is irreplaceable. If nothing else, make sure she knows how much she means to you! She wants nothing more than the adoration of her children . She fulfilled her role on earth!!!
First edition in mint condition, around $250 plus shipping, or somewhere close ($270 total) I would think...First edition & mint is hard to find in that book.
I’m gonna have to agree with warrior, loblolly pine is what pays the bills and feeds the family around my place so by default it is absolutely my favorite.
Roy Dalhgren asked me to send him a long spring trap of dad's and one of mine to have knives from the springs for the NTA convention in Escanaba. He gave me this set, and I'm offering them up for this auction. Dad's name and my name are embossed on the blades of the knives. I will pay shipping to anywhere in the US.
I am sure this topic has been covered thoroughly in the past but out of curiosity I will put it out there again. When targeting beaver with a piece or two of popple and trying for a front foot what is your preferred pan tension? I've used little or no tension my whole life for front foot beaver trapping. This would be open water trapping with trap set shallow on a drowner. Just curious what majority does compared to what I've done for decades.
I know a government trapper that uses a 22 pellet gun. Bout like a 22 short. He kills 500 plus coyotes a year. MANY with a 22 pellet rifle So 22 short is plenty IF proper shot placement is made
