Got one in kitchen really a crap catcher. Im guessing grease in the air comes into play with it. Others get nasty too but not like that one.

auto insurance card
check card
credit card
HSA card
gas card

a apple coupons 2 more and I get a free peck of apples
work ID card
a little tweezers for pulling ticks and slivers


I told you I thinned it way down , that was about as far as I could go , I did just move the apple coupons to the check book

and tossed about 3 business cards I had collected

The part of the story I find compelling is the local Indians apparently preferred their own native "tobacco" plant over the Virginian strain.

Exactly what I’ve done for this phone,,, the information, passwords and such are written down and stored in locked artifact cabinet.
I’ve even got pegs very first note she wrote me over 35 years ago in there. Most guys don’t keep stuff like that.

Either purchase or goven one or research and cut one.

With Google Earth it makes it easy to see open country!

Once you have one use is the best way to keep it.

A buddy of mine shot his first moose with a single shot .410 loaded with a slug. He was just a kid and his dad had taken him out on his 1st moose hunt. He said his dad whispered, “right behind the shoulder”, then boom. The bull turned away, took 3 or 4 steps, looked back at the canoe and tipped over.

He told me his dad would always have a couple .410 slugs in his left pocket when grouse hunting. So he’d be ready in case he ran into a moose.

Ive done all those kinda things in past, hang sausage, weiners. Spacing on most smoker and oven racks dont work well for some size item The racks I use now are actually called cooling racks. Only thing I would like better is if they were stainless. I have them in two sizes some fit smoker some my commercial warmer. They are 1/4 mesh anf I can smoke or dry pretty much anything on them. I find it simpler for way I do things. Your right about cleaning can almost require pressure washer. These 3 in photo I took in slop sink with stiff brush.

I like to use clear vinyl tubing and #9 wire. I put a countersink on the end of the tube that will accept the wire, and I taper the end of the wire on a belt sander. The taper is about the same as the business end of a chopstick and rounded blunt at the very tip. Doing it this way ensures that the wire will get started on the vinyl collar and it makes for a very tight connection. I like the fact that I can push the wire in the collar so it's good and tight, and then simply rotate the collar in either direction if the snare needs the angle of the dangle adjusted. I think this setup would probably work with #11 wire also.

As the title says how long does the scent from fish oil & gusto last when trapping for marten. & how often should I reapply? The bait (chunk or fit off beaver) is still there. Should I replace or add to that too? It's been bout a week.
Thanks

had swirling snow or a snownado before but never that small or with no other snow around it.

was out shooting one day and watched the storm roll in so fast it was like a white out coming off a mountain in a movie

the pasture I was shooting in you can see about 4-5 miles to the north west and it came in as a gust front dropping an inch of snow in a couple minutes.

seeing it coming I grabbed my gear and tossed it in the truck , but then it hit and I was trying to drive out in a whiteout

Lots of folks use cereal rye as a cover crop. Hard to tell the difference until it starts to stem.

Did you have any concerns with the speed of this trap with that setup initially? I have some Bridger #4's modified exactly like yours, square lams and all and they are without a doubt the slowest traps I own, even when waxed. So slow I don't really have the confidence to set them.

How do you set them, do you stand on the springs? That can ruin the springs, mine seem fine. I have not noticed any issues. I will go set one and see if mine seem slower than they should be.

So, what type of pump is it ?
Vane, diaphragm, venturi, piston, or ? ? ?
How far down will it pull ? near 30" Hg ?

I tinker too and have some medical vac pumps that I might adapt.

Thanks smile


You know Im not sure what the little pump is. Just now looked at it again after see your post. I didn't open it so I'm not sure if it is diaphragm or some type rotorery? I also have a 12 volt suction pump I saved off an old ambulance. I had it rigged up at one time and was using gallon jars from deli. Was to much messing around with lids for small batch items. I do wish I could find wide mouth Mason style jar in gallon size. But most every thing I marinate I can get in half gallon jars.

This is pump in.litte jar unit.

This is the 12v pump I snagged off old ambulance. Was actually thinking of getting rid of it and out of my way. About time I do the piddler n me would regret that. I have we a hard time not see value or use for to many things.
