“Good money” is a number that’s different for each person you talk to.
Things that I find important to making a good go at this industry is population density and a generally high income for the area. You really don’t want to be driving far for work/jobs as it’ll quickly use up time that could be made making money. And the population has to be able to afford to pay you. Figure out what you’re worth and don’t be afraid to charge for that. Know that wildlife only companies are going to be very seasonal.
The idea of using a low or no power optic is both eyes open and the brain naturally puts the picture together. There was one back in the eighties that you couldn't see through at all it just had a dot. You had to shoot both eyes open with that one. But if you're like me closing the off side eye is ingrained and almost impossible to break from doing.
Hello all. So this winter I trapped my first beaver & butchered it. That carcass attracted more fisher, fox & coyotes than I ever would’ve imagined to my trail cam. I wanted to do some testing on making my own bait. My plan was to let the beaver putrify for 3 days then mix it with some ground catfish, eel & trout. I would not let the fish petrify as I imagine that can become more of a detractor than attractant at a certain point. I also planned on doing a 70 (beaver)/30 (fish) mix for canines and fisher. Any input would be great.
Mighty thin slice of ham that doesnt have two sides...id like to hear the warden's side of the investigation. Kid might have had it coming...who knows?
you know normally if it was about any other kid I would have thought harder on that other side of the slice.
I know his mom and dad quite well they are some very strait shooters
and trust me where they live if they wanted to shoot 5 turkeys no one would know unless they went bragging about it.
so it served no purpose for them to call it in if they in anyway expected it would be an issue. they just figured they should tell the warden and let him get the extra turkey to a family that could use it. rather than them taking it without a tag or letting it lay and go to waste.
we were online registration by that time so he didn't need to take it anywhere , just go on and register one and debone 2 and no one would have been any wiser
his mother said the way he was treated was just uncalled for , it ruined him from wanting to be a warden or ever saying anything to one ever again. he would have been the kid who would have called in any actual game crime , not now
Swamp white oaks are consistent acorn producers at an early age. I planted some in my yard and they started producing at about 10 years old and haven’t missed a year yet.

GCS, just got back on been out and about today. They are doing great! Severe drought here so been going every other day and watering them. In the last 6 days we have gotten about 11/4 so that will help. I always put a few seeds along side the plants when I plant them. Some of them are popped also.
I'm going through my new traps (NO BS K9) and adjusting pan tension and I noticed on a few of them the tail of the main coil spring is sliding on the base plate when i snap the trap to the point it may jump off the base plate. It looks like the tail of the spring is just about an 1/8" short of contacting the pan post bolt like it should. Any body have a good fix for this? Without replacing the spring?
