Is there another row of cans you can see in the picture ? If not go and pull the outlet out they was using and check and see if the person that originally wired the house used the stabs on the outlet instead of wrapping the wire around the screw .
Disregard my comment about the outlet. I checked this morning and that outlet is on a different breaker. I was mistaken.
Yes, there are other cans. But they are on a different breaker. In the pic below you can see the top lights work, the lower side lights do not. They are on different dimmer switch on a different breaker.
Kidd, It could be said that the comment you pointed to could be considered extreme. I'd say it is for sure without a doubt political. And I see at the top of the page one of the rules says No Politics. I would believe that to mean no bashing or putting down just one political party or any political party. Not only that but I would think that No Politics rule means No writing about anything political and not trapping related period.
No wonder you have so much drama in your real life You can't even handle the Internet comments to your posts How do you even make it through a day in the public without a panic attack
Sit in a tin shack...cold,,,, no music.. No beer,,,, make love to whatever hole that is after your finish with the beaver fur..... And then brag about how horny it was.....? Nope I'm going fishing.......
Any runny oil, vegetable or mineral, or glycerine + some emulsifier? + filter through cheesecloth to remove impurities. Bear fat from bears who ate almost exclusively pine nuts stays liquid in the fridge, but it's easier or cheaper to just use vegetable oil.
Trailing scents for smaller mustelids don't make much sense, I think the smell should be concentrated directly at the set. If you've tracked their movement patterns (diurnal range tracking for instance) you know they move like the ball in a pinball machine, they just bounce around randomly moving along the most appealing areas, and check out promising spots, or sometimes dash between good areas through more open spaces. I've had plenty of time to try using lure for trailing scent when sable were uncooperative. Sometimes I'd just put a dab of lure on the edge of my ski, and usually when their path crossed mine, they'd stop, poop in my tracks and move on. On rare occasions they followed my tracks more closely (but even so, they didn't stay in my tracks the whole time) but they were exceptions rather than rules, it was always hungry big nonresident males, most likely long-distance travelers. I think drops of trailing scent will just confuse them and may ultimately cause them to lose interest, because they'll investigate the spot, find no food and leave rather than figure out that it's a sign leading somewhere. I think it's because they target voles that are scattered all over the place. Even when they chase bunnies, they zigzag freely rather than follow bunny trails until they establish visual contact. Canines and maybe guloes will follow the scent because they have the concept of "trail" (tracks left by big game or snowmachines = potential meal), but even so, a lump of bunny guts tied to a rope will probably work better than a squirtable lure?
If you speed dip and cut back on the Coleman lantern fluid, you’ll end up with a sticky mess. A quart can of Speed Dip and a gallon + of Coleman fluid, done when it’s HOT outside, will give you a very good cover.
You can also do the Rustoleum method that works very well. Or rattle can your traps.
After rattle canning or any sort of Speed Dip, I always dry for a couple days and dip in Full Metal Jacket. This works for me. Done this time of year, nothing has an odor come trapping season.
If your time is worth something, a can of speed dip and a gallon+ of Coleman lantern fuel for the dye is the way to go. Then either let them dry and use. Or dip in Full Metal Jacket. Do this now on a hot, summer’s day.
Or, if time isn’t an issue, do the 5-gallon bucket ( or bigger) over a fire. Add 1-2 bags of logwood dye, bring to a boil, and simmer your traps in it for 5-10 minutes per bunch. Hang and let dry. Then using a double boiler method, melt your wax, dip and simmer about 90-seconds each, pull out and hang to dry.
My time is worth something. So I do the Coleman lantern and Speed Dip method, let dry and then full metal jacket dip.
Made my own also. I prefer cedar to pine, much softer as it ages to put pins in. But my otter boards are pine because that is what I had on hand. If you have a router it is really nice to do the edges with, but you can round them with a sander if you don't have a router and they will work fine. I've done it both ways, depending on what tools I had on hand.
It would, but as long as they allowed differing opinions to be posted and didnt censor them, it would only bother me in the sense that I would think they were stupid and short sighted. It is when somebody controlling a forum only allows one side to speak that it really annoys me.
The wife is a member of a knitting forum, the owner of it is some sort of transgender married gay and allows all the Trump bashing, pro transgender, anti-religion, rainbow snowflake crowd garbage but will ban anyone that posts an opposing viewpoint. Personally I would leave it and not come back, but she claims that is the only place to find a lot of her knitting patterns.
