Savell.

If you get hold of more shots of that cat Id sure love to see them.

Those are the kind of cats you trap on occasion.

I'm not sure if it is hot either? Not like I haven't sold marten for over a Hundred many times before. What was a hundred dollars worth in 2006, 2008, 2012, 2013( $200) 2017? Snowmachines sure weren't 12.000 to 15,000 dollars new back then.

We have discussed marten differences before



Hate to say it but that was back when a hundred dollars almost meant something. Price of gold in 2006 was around 600 dollars.

I'd like to see the spread sheet of income and expense on 76 marten caught 1500 miles one way from home.

Now, my questions which I don't remember the answer to is... Did we scale them and gut them first... I can't for the life of me remember. Isn't that amazing I can't remember something only after 50 years. I probably went to 5 or 6 or maybe more in the years I was there.

Thank you for any input back into this feeble old mind.

Garry-

I have not done white bass boils , but on lake trout and whitefish we just gut and chunk
some people may scale fish with larger scales but those are our two most common ones for boiling

the heat generally tightens skin right up and holds the scales on and then the skin peals off the meat easily with the scales and they are discarded.

when I do salmon or trout on foil I also don't bother scaling

if I am frying I do scale as I like to eat the skin.

we do red potatoes , whole small white onions and serve with melted butter , rye bread and coleslaw

Ice won't bother you.

Avoid north Minneapolis, South Minneapolis, East Minneapolis and West Minneapolis.

Every neighborhood we work in Minneapolis we have security detail.

I hemmed and hawed and decide not to. I have enough going on, I don’t need the association.

Some elk ran down one of his mega loops. I brought a tape and the one loop was 17”wide and 21”tall. 71/2” off he ground. 1/19”. No loading.

On a more positive not my wife watched a fox get hit and picked it up with the kids on the way to school and it decided to come back to life in my yard! Never ends…

Would a 6.5 Creedmore be enough cartridge to make a hole in the transformer or would it be better to use a larger caliber? Say a 30- 06 or a 45-70? Looks to me like a 6.5mm (.264) hole wouldn't let out much oil and a larger caliber hole would be faster.

Google it. That's where the rest of it came from.

I’ve had big rats and grey squirrels get hit and run off from rat traps so I’d say if it did work on mink it would be a smaller female and likely not consistently replicable .

Not sure about other states but up here we have max dimensions of 7x7x40 on colony style traps. I’ve heard of people getting small beavers in that size and I’ve caught a small otter in one once that was made of old lobster trap wire . You would have to use a heavy gauge wire panel like that if you were going to attempt one for beaver.

Universal #1 sized grinders. Complete with three blades. It’s in great condition. It hasn’t been used in the fur shed, but would be great for grinding casters or mice or other bait/lure making ingredients, or used as a nice little grinder in the house for burgers and sausages.


$28 includes the shipping to you in the lower 48 states. PM me if you are interested.

These are actually intended to be used for shooting bags/shell holders but would be great for fishing tackle or on the trap line too, many possibilities! There are two of them in great shape, well made with very nice belts that are included! Asking $35 shipped in the lower 48 for both bags sold as a set. Or I’d be interested in a trade for good castors. PM me if you’re interested or have any questions.

Lot easier than trying to put parchment paper in the tins, though I suppose you could.

Thank YOU gcs!!!! Will do and hope for some success tomorrow early morning.

As I pointed out on another forum, bread, eggs and butter have pretty long shelf lives. Unless it's bread you make yourself or from the bakery it will last a month or more before going bad. Butter can be left on the counter. Eggs might get old but they really don't have to be refrigerated unless they're washed.

Thank you for the picture! I appreciate everyone"s response . I have lots of poison bait on hand, just fun to do trapping too. I have dealt with a barn rat who wouldn't touch but I did snap trap him eventually. Also open to learning about the best rat trap as well.
