Why not go to ND they have tons of rats and they have some great well furred coyotes. And the river systems are loaded with beaver. And those Red River mink are the size of a small otter. And then you have lots of skunks and badgers to trap.
I think for a nonresident Alaska would be a tough place to trap. I have family there and I wouldn't even consider trapping there.
I trapped the south for 12 years. If you can't catch 300 beaver In 2 months time your no trapper. Then for every beaver there are always lots of otter to catch. And the bob cat population Is good. The fur Isn't of great value but the numbers will make up for It. I don't know If there Is still a live market . But I made some big bucks when I was there.
Leaving your home range Is always a big under taking and It won't be easy and It won't be cheap.

Coyotes in NYS are usually a fair amount heavier that many other locations.

Maybe some of you guys from back there will chime in.

I weighed a couple of them years ago and they were always in the 40lb range.

I personally know others that have been caught that weighed more.

TTT 1 - Price dropped

Super Congratulations

Me too!

I’m making beaver tail oil, but the video I saw the guy tossed in more than tails. A kinda chopped into cubes. The jars lid is screwed on loose with cloth under it and left in the sun for a few months. Nice black oil on top when it’s done, and the other stuff underneath can be frozen and used for attracting whatever or tossed.

thank you, Sir!

Yes, take advantage of those beaver carcasses!

Sun render the tails and fat, use the castors & oil sacs. Rot down some of the livers. Have fun.

So I deep dived it a little and yeah the development of the creed along with with reamers and all , basically make it ok of those deal where it's kinda hard to not have one shoot decent. It's a lot of gunsmithing mumbo jumbo, talking about shoulder angles distance to lands along with modern bullet tech... I'm not qualified to really explain it but yeah the fact all the rifles are being made with modern more up to date what evers to kinda match the bullets out there just make work.
That being said it's also caused tom problems with people trying to use it the exact same way as older similar cartridges ... But that a big long rabbit hole that I'm not super qualified to talk about

So as some of you may know I run an odd jobs business and I made a thread a couple of weeks ago to see if anyone would be interested in what I do for work I just got back into doing jobs again since I ran out so I decided I should start this thread. I do all kinds of work from mowing to tree removal to shed cleanout. Anything and everything and if I don't know how, I'll learn how to do it. I would appreciate constructive criticism on my work and how to improve.

Here's the first job of the thread. This is a yard that I don't charge for and one of the only ones that I do it for. The reason is the guy is an old trapper who's knees don't work like they used to and he has since hung up his traps. He can also no longer do this kind of work as he can't stand for very long so it's been up to me and his few neighbors to keep his yard in shape. I have driven past and seen branches and trees fallen in his yard so I decided to stop tonight and start cleaning them up. We have been talking about doing some trading but some unfortunate events and family stuff on his side have stopped it from happening, I'm going to keep that drama out of it.

Today was day 1 of cleaning up his yard and the goal of today was to get all of the branches bucked up into manageable chunks to load into the trailer. I did this and dragged them up to his driveway for easier loading. I did accomplish this goal for the day and will be going back at a later date with my trailer to load the branches up and bring them to my dumping grounds. This work was all done with a Stihl MS180 and my hands, no machinery.

I would like to get a bigger saw like an MS291, but I'm waiting to find one second hand so I'm not putting a bunch of money into another saw. I have ran a friend's MS291 and like the power and feel of it in my hands and not having to bend over because of the bigger bar was a big plus.

Here are the pictures from today
