I’ve caught a couple dozen in a season just in beaver and otter traps in a fairly small area. I imagine 100 would be possible if I put my mind to it

I think you warped or blew a head gasket. It done so no since in saying what you should have done. I think with all the water in it. It is burning the water off and not showing in the oil. If it was anti freeze the oil would be milky.

In many ways, I feel like the Grim Reaper this year. Seems like almost every week of 2026 is another family member, friend, or very close acquaintance passing or getting a death sentence.
1. Write everything down and make sure the family and few close friends know the plan 2. Ask my wife and daughters what they would like to have for final memories. 3. do what I can to make sure my grandbabies are set up for the future 4. Years ago I learned the phrase "Not my Problem" - I would live my remaining time as the epitome of that 5. Try my best to share what I have learned with my grandkids 6. Get on a virgin prairie dog colony and shoot until the barrel melts
Part B - not much. I've been dealing with death so much the last few years and helping to settle estates, that it taught me and my family some huge lessons. My body is so abused, small health issues are showing up and I know I don't have an exceptionally long life expectancy. Doctor told me years ago when I was having stress issues to only deal with things that I can control - everything else - NOT MY PROBLEM!!
The other advise I have shared with many younger people is to leave nothing unsaid. If you think it, ask about it and talk about it. Death is not a taboo thing. Have those conversations as much as possible and have no regrets

Thanks for printing it out Lugnut. Fox News won’t let me read anything on their site because I use an ad blocker. They want me to disable it before I can read the story. I refuse, there’s plenty of other sites that will allow me to read the same story. I got this one on MSN, it’s an exact reprint of the Fox News article. I figured it was an important enough article that anybody else with an ad blocker unable to view it should be able to see it.

I wouldn't worry so much about backing height as much as I would the actual trap placement. I've had nothing more than small clump of grass as the focal point but placed my trap 3-4' feet away because it was the "natural path of approach." I've also placed a trap a few inches from a backing that was 3 feet tall. I do like to keep it 100% natural though. If you go to importing a bunch of stuff, they can and will notice...
Some of the other guys bring up great points on animal personalities, competition, population dynamics, family structure, etc. It's really all subjective...

CML = chronic myeloid leukemia. It’s a fairly rare form of leukemia. It’s characterized by Overproduction of abnormal white blood cells. It’s caused by a mutation between the 9 and 22 chromosomes, creating the Philadelphia chromosome and the BCR ABL gene. They caught mine in chronic stage luckily. I posted about this a couple times on here awhile back. I was on a chemo regimen after diagnosis, took it twice a day (every 12 hours) for about three straight years. There is no cure. But I was fortunate enough to have very good results almost immediately after I started and held at undetectable bloodwork test levels for about that whole stretch. Still holding there today. Was told very few get to that undetectable level and even fewer hold it. They took me off of chemo over two years ago to see if I could hold on my own and so far so good hasn’t shown back up in bloodwork again knock on wood. Two years now treatment free remission. God has been good me and my family. But I still have to go have bloodwork tested every three months and probably will for rest of my life. If it does ever come back I’ll just go back on chemo and stay on that rest of my life. Jim
Glad to hear it has worked out so well for you. Thanks for the info.

An old trapper hermit brought a half dozen of those big hairy pigs up to his little homestead in Otter rapids,he had a couple horses a couple cows and some goats and wild turkeys, The only thing he had left after a couple winters was the horses and cows,the wolves killed all the goats pigs and turkeys. Makes sense, no surprise there.

I received the same notice Paul from Pirate Ship this morning i was reading. More expenses, nothing is going down. Stamps are heading up also.
I get shell shock when I see what bottles and lids are costing. We buy in bulk to meet the volume discount but it still costs us all more.
We need to make another run to Berlin Packaging for another load next week. I doubt there will be any discounts on our invoice.

It says in the caption that Top Lot Stretcher Co. And No BS Lures went together and purchased Lee Steinmeyer Fleshing Knives. Both companies will be involved with production of the knives. Will they be offering a free pelter with every purchase? Sorry Lee, couldn't resist!

Thanks for the replies. I swapped some Newhouse parts with Bill a few times and for some reason I thought he said something about using the #48 traps with long chains and drags? I probably mis-understood....

Wheel chair batteries are not that expensive to replace if you are at all handy. Most use dual 12v SLA / AGM or lithium ion batteries. You can replace SLA / AGM batteries with lithium ion for more capacity just ensure they have the same case dimensions and terminal type and location. If replacing with lithium ion you will need to upgrade to a lithium rated charger which generally have a slightly higher output voltage than SLA / AGM batteries. Don't use a lithium ion charger on SLA / AGM batteries unless rated for both; the charge cycles are different.
Not as Jazzy- Just replaced and upgraded Christine's wheel chair batteries (after 6 years) and fixed a broken wiring harness terminal, about an hour worth of work. ~$100.00 for both 20 amp-hr lithium LiFePO4 batteries, increased time of use by 30 percent and no. of recharge cycles ( life ) by 20 percent. Charger upgrade for lithium was $50.00. Cost of 15 amp-hr SLA / AGM direct replacement batteries would have been $70.00 for comparison, both from Amazon. Replacement 15 amp-hr to SLA / AGM batteries from the manufacturer are listed $250.00 on sale, $340.00 reg.
