… you should pay the seller

Like mentioned before, try and find fresh ground. Mom does half three rivers and half fresh ground. That fresh is grittier which I like.

No set season for skunk in MN but these are ADC work for some of my neighbors and little goes to waste Summer hides are put up for the craft market, some go to the taxi market. Skulls and carcasses have a market too besides the quill and pods. Sort of like breaking down an old car for parts, you just have to have a market for it.

get meat without bones off the muskrat then soak in saltwater for at least 12 hours but at the most 24. after you do this give the meat a good wash and dry off really well at this point you can season however you want but I like it with harlans barbecue seasoning or chef tonys creole seasoning. then you put a little bit of the seasoning in the flour and mix meat in it, then if you want it to be fluffy you dip it in egg whites and put it back in the flour or if you just want a light coating of flour just skip the step where you put it in egg whites. then the final step is you get a pan with olive oil or vegetable oil or whatever you got and keep it on a lower heat and wait until it looks like a chicken nugget. Enjoy

Powder coating would hold up better than anything but even over time would wear off. In my opinion any method of coating is just rust prevention during the off season.

I agree with you Oakey. South Dakota has a few pro trapping bill boards up that are simple and to the point. I was always told the if you say something long enough and loud enough, eventually people will believe it. Most trappers tend to chose to stay in the background and not say much but your right about speaking up. There have been some internal issues within the NTA recently that have caused a few good people to back away from them, something that we as a group can not afford. (My only hope is that those fellow trappers have joined up with another group of like minded people.) It's common knowledge that 3% of the membership does 90% of the work. Now I don't care what organization you are a member of but I have to ask what percentage of that do I fall into? Most sportsmen can't agree amongst themselves causing a rift that can destroy a good organization. A simple solution to that would be to set aside out differences and work together on a common cause. The anti's know this and over the years have learned to use it to their advantage with great success! Until we as a group can all set aside our petty differences and focus on the big problems, we will continue to be our own worst enemies. Don't like how something is being handled then get involved. You are right Oakey and like your enthusiasm!

Much more work and labor intensive. Daily work. Snakes don't need messed with a few times a week if that. Also less mess.

Not something I would want to eat unless I was very hungry though.

That's just west of Beatrice, Nebraska. Seen it a few weeks ago when visiting my brother. Very cool place and recommend checking it out whenever your in the area.

I knew a guy that had about 50 dwarf mini peach trees. They were only about 4ft tall but did set heavily every year.

He's an interesting guy. Hope all is well.
