Deer hunting is like anything else......You get out of it what you put into it.

Every bit as nice as the last pair tht you shared with us.

I'd be proud to own a pair of them.

For Sale:
THE TRAPPERS' QUARTERLY, APRIL 1944
Published by Clayton G. Gates, Richmond, Virginia. This was an important publication for trappers during the 1940s. It was no where near the size, or circulation of FUR Fish Game, but Mr. Gates had leading trapper/writers of the day including E. J. Dailey, J. Curtis Grigg, Pat Sedlak, Walter S. Chansler, John Ehn, Bill Nelson, V. E. Tingley, and many other well known men of the Trapline and Trail.

Very good condition. $25.00 postage paid in USA.

Personal check or money order.

Message me to purchase this magazine. Thank you!

The other thing about H stands. I have cut off the 2 legs, so they are only 3" long. Then I welded on a single leg in the middle. The 2 short legs keep the BG from being turned. In most case's you can get a single legged BG stabilized.

One more week left in the season. I doubt I'll go out again since I've gotten four deer during the 2025-26 seasons and I'm out of WMU 5C tags. I could hunt with my flintlock for a buck or a doe but I doubt I will. My buddy will hunt my spot next Saturday and he may get one which we would add to the scrapple pot.

There are going to be multiple batches of scrapple this year since I have extra carcasses. I can cook two at a time and that usually yields 40-50 pounds. I currently have four frozen.

So most weekends in February we will be either making scrapple or venison-apple sausage.

Flappin' my wings as fast as I can but won't make it until March.

That was a very GOOD post! Thanks.

Noice,,,,, you will never regret using that time wisely……

Having tags on your traps isn't necessarily a bad idea, but allowing game wardens to mess with your sets is. I remember years ago when I was a kid, my dad having a game warden go through his line and pick up every trap he could find in order to "check it for a tag." Then of course he put them back down not in the same place. Now granted this was a water line, so scent wasn't an issue, but he still tampered with a large number of sets and made them inoperable or set the traps in such a way as to educate any critters that visited it. I know of another game warden here that has since retired. He spent all day opening day of cat season one year following a trapper around on a snowmachine, who was setting his cat traps and tripping all of them, he finally caught up to the trapper at his pickup just before dark and started to harass him, because he didn't think that cat season opened untl the next day. This is the same game warden that took the bait out of another trappers set (goose livers) and had it DNA tested to prove it was from wild geese (at that time you could not use any parts of game birds or animals as bait, this reg has since been changed) and then wrote him a ticket for it. Anybody else other than a game warden would be charged with harrassment for such antics (actually probably not, I've never known them to actually charge anybody with harrassment, and in fact they refused to charge or even give a written warning to a guy who stole three of my dads wolf traps, they got the traps from the guy and gave them back to my dad, but flat refused to charge him with anything) but because they are a game warden it is perfectly legal for them to do, here.

Never knew butterflies had that much meat on them....
Good eats....

Six sets, 3 “knockdowns”. Either loops are too big or otters. I’m pretty sure that 2 of them were otters as the loops were just about pulled closed but not free from the support.

I reset and closed the loop just a bit.
