The color is part of the equation. Orioles are attracted to the color orange. Also, actual oranges.

That is a merriams or a domestic that is very close to a merriams. That’s all we have here and that is exactly the color pattern of our merriams.

… had the 302 in mine warrior… big time ! lol

For the longest time I popped 2 Dollar General brand sleeping pills to fall asleep when not drinking and it helped. Now I am back to a normal enough schedule I don't even need them anymore.

Good job on sticking to weekends only!

A couple of weeks ago, we had a Minecraft themed camp with our cub scout group. 26 kids aged 8 thru 11 participated. The week previous, they built cardboard lifesize mobs (the creatures you fight in the video game) to use for indoor archery with recurve bows and LARP arrows.
Since we couldn't do actual forging, I decided to bring my rod bender to do some cold forging with #9 fence wire. I came up with a bushcraft tripod loop (that's the name I made up anyway LOL). I did the first bend for each kid and they did all the rest. After they were done, I showed them how to strip the galvanizing using vinegar and I rust blued them with sumac and hickory nut hull tea (which worked surprisingly well).
At night, I read them the first chapter of "Call of the Wild" and scared them half to death LOL.

Bring your dog/animal into the super market and you'll hear it from me. If your a vet with a legitimate problem and licensed animal is the only way you get a pass.

Is this a guessing game?

Yes, I was surprised on low Beaver volume too - should help averages for the hard core Beaver trappers. Good to see Lynx volumes increase, but still WAY under what could be produced. New higher pricing came too late in season to really push Lynx harvest I guess. 8500 Bobcat …wowza

I've set a couple of old portals before, just caught skunks.
Both where pretty good walk up to them, was good with just
setting the lower draw that led up to it.

I had to say good bye to my father and best friend Feb 2025. I miss him every day. You hear the thing about your father being the only man that wants to see you achieve more than him. Pretty close. I had the opportunity to move in with him and take care of him for almost 6 years before he passed. Had every conversation you can imagine multiple times - no regrets. Was actually happy that he went out in his own time and a peaceful way. But nearly every day I miss the talks and sharing in daily life. As I watch my grandbabies grow, I know what/who they are missing out on.
