But If kids these days want to improve their lot in life, with more education after high school, I would strongly suggest trade school. Skilled trades pay very well and they are really struggling to hire trained workers. Graduates get gobbled up quickly at great starting wages.



Yep many trades and crafts make more money then a lot of collage educated professionals, didn't get any debt in apprenticeship programs and earned income while learning.

I met a guy in October who was working at the Coldfoot camp. Said there was lots of marten around. Likely could be a wolverine somewhere. Expensive way to get one, staying at Coldfoot. Unlikely there's a reasonable cost way tho.

They had 52 Rocky Mountain tags and 88 desert tags this year. Success rate is always high. Non-resident tags are held to no more than ten percent. In the drawings 50% of the tags go to those with maximum points (which Kim had at 24) and 50% are randomly drawn. So in Kims hunt she drew her 25th year applying, another guy drew with 23 points and the other two had 5 and 3 points. If anyone ever wants to hunt Utah they better start applying at a very young age.

The Gateway Arch is interesting. Union Pacific RR museum there also. Been a while but downtown St. Louis still had some brick streets. Mother grew up in O'Fallon area.

You're confusing your Es and As, but it's still understandable.

Quick question, I have castor hanging (almost dry) & I happen to notice I forgot to put the oil sacs into the freezer. Been out for 6 days now. Do you think they'll work & be ok or should I toss them? My other oil sacs are usually in the freezer in 2 days pending how late I'm skinning. Don't want to add a rotten sac when I mix them all together.

Years ago I made some ceviche with smallmouth out of Flaming Gorge (cold clear lake) and everyone thought it was great. But I really like the fried fillets or making fish chowder out of them.

I started using 1/4” shackles. Found them to be much faster and easier to use than quick links. The ends of my chains have a large lap link, welded shut and often I will anchor by going around a tree/ log dropping a loop of chain through that lap link and then pass the trap through the loop. Hard to picture, perhaps. It is depicted in the Alaska Wolf Trapping Manual from the Alaska Trappers Association.
I also use 1/8” 7x7 cable anchors with a tree lock set up and a simple loop at the other end. I will shackle or quick link that loop to the lap link. If available I prefer to anchor to a springy alder of wrist thickness that provides a bit of bounce. Those cables work past 50 plus foot length with no evidence of coming close to failing, in my experience.

My reason for anchoring solid vs. using drags is we can receive large dumps of snow that would hide any sign of where a drag may have gone.

Well now that's a very nice stretch. If we reference anything that might have been produced somewhere other than this country we must be illegal aliens?

If there wasn't half a million maggots, there wasn't a one. I put disposable gloves on and grabbed ahold. Attempting to drag it to the truck. Only made it a foot, when the entire pelvis disconnected. I managed to get it into a couple construction bags and into the truck.
My next stop was 30 miles away. I should have reversed my route of course. So all the way to the next stop, I can smell this foul thing. I just knew I stepped in the goo or got splattered. My reading glasses I hang on the front neck of my t-shirt, and apparently had touched them with my gloves on. The smell was inches from my nose the whole ride. I did not charge enough for that one.


A hitch hauler is very useful.


Yes sir! After that disgusting mess, I bought one just in time for the next one...the floater. And have carried quite a few fresh deer with it too.

Looks like you could watch a little tv in there while waiting for that big buck - but maybe that would be getting a bit too comfortable:) You taught me something about solar panels there. Thanks for the info.
