Good Morning

38 wet----rain all night! Mud all day!

You can catch a bobcat or coyote in literally any snare you like , it comes down to which you have the most faith in . I've had great success with 1/16" 1x 19 or 7x7 snares and then the same thing with 5/64 " 7x7 with either Wedge lock or death blow snares .

The big difference is I don't have to load them to make a catch other than to put them in the pickup .

You can call and ask Keith Gregerson about loading snares and he will say basically the same thing and he's caught a lot of fur over the years .

Do you think our national can wipe out illegal drugs if it was a national priority? I do

Make some pastrami out of the back strap

My favorite one hand fleshing knife is a Swedish hoof knife which is shaped like a triangle with a long handle , the smaller one I had disappeared when I moved its worked well also .

Correct. The camera was set to video also but it never downloaded until this morning. Definitely a red fox. I have 2 sets there. One about a foot in front of him. Needless to say he wasn't in my traps this morning. Humbling.

I twisted my knee taking a boat out the first part of October and have been limping around nursing it. It was feeling better until I connected on a big 10 point that I had been watching. I called my cousin to help me and we tried to drag the beast and my knee let go. Now I will be cutting it up today on crutches. Sure sucks getting old!.

I was very happy to get my target buck.





We only hung him by his head to hose it out. We skinned him hanging by the hind legs.

Nothing pheasant related, but I’ve gone to 100% brining any poultry that I put on the smoker. If you start with a good brine and not running over on temp. I don’t know how you could miss.

Do you have a sawhorse? If so, just put the sawhorse under the beam and slid it back and forth until you have the right angle.
Then drive a nail through the edge of the beam into the sawhorse. Do both edges. If you have a stud wall just screw the mounting bracket to the studs.
Another thing to think about is using a gunny sack to tie around your waist to keep the hide in place as your working on it. What I have done was use an old set of waders that couldn't be repaired. Just cut off the legs above the knees. It keeps you clean and even keeps you warm, but it keeps the hide in place, and it gives your mid-section a little cushion.
