I do feel, what is a good Mtn. man without a good horse ? I would think they were attracted to good horses as much as they were the fur industry. Tools of success. And survival.

Those Indian "saddles" sounded horrible. I feel for the horses who had to endure ill-fitting gear . No wonder they stacked fur hides and blankets below and on top of them.

I do know the Mtn. men had their add-ons to saddles they used , some had a cross of Indian and more conventional cowboy gear .

I go back to the Nez Perce tribe...they were the only ones I've read who did everything for their herd care and training , the best techniques of the time.



No inconvenience at all. Horses are a relatively easy topic to grab some information about, as everyone always talked about them.

Like all their gear, saddles were fairly "primitive", and not as friendly to use as what we have today. The Spanish (and Mexicans) did make some nice saddles.

I am sure the trappers loved god horses, but more often than not, they took any horse they could get. Beggars can't be choosers and all.

Dirt, to confirm you will need to provide photographic evidence of your claim. Preferably frost scraping something.

You would do well to just use the one with the wider base! Easier on the hands! Very clever, sir!!

grin I was reminded of you yesterday, Pete, I saw a fun logging competition sporting event, based in Wisconsin . Cross-cut saw, chainsaw speed cookie cutting, pole stand chopping, axe round cutting. It was fun to see. The worlds champs were competing.

Anyway , back to hybrids . Tatiana , fur with that high gloss sheen is the best , to me.

T4Ever explained that gloss when I was choosing the marten I wanted for my hat.

I'm still in "school" when I attempt to capture that gloss sheen effect on fur I do in my art.

Too many people give a crap about what others think. Carry it however you like.


Mine is in my back pocket or sitting within arms reach 99.9% of the time. Day or night. Between work, 16 yr old daughter and a 79 yr old father, you never know when it'll ring.

The last few years I lived in Nome the trapping pard and I started using the Western Alaska version of the white 17 snarepole set. For wolverine. It was a successful set. One year, when we were far enough east of Nome to get into spruce tree areas, I made a giant marten pole set withe a spruce pole. The pole was large enough for a wolverine to walk up easily. Set a 3/32 snare. 8 in. loop, 8 in. off the pole.
Next time we had an adult male lynx hanging by his mid section. He had got his head, shoulders, legs, and ribs thru the snare before his rear legs/hips pulled it closed.
It was an odd catch.

In 1977 my future wife sealed the deal by giving me a Ruger 77V in .243.

I have used it for deer across 4 states and it has never left me down.

It's also one of my favorite crow rifles.

The robins are out of here right before the first heavy frost. They don’t return until greens are poking up and worms and ground crawling bugs start appearing in the spring.

But my Duke 1 1/2s have the long pin...

Anyone remember the vid with the
deer skin in the jaws,
and the guy hanging his body weight
from that trap,
that had ZERO, NONE, springs on it?

Maybe it was Bic from here?

And the trap speed vids?

These days we like dead stuff, booze pics,
and feeding deer movies instead lol.

I don't do any kind of business on the phone
My money is green and folds up nicely to be put in my savings account (book's)
Never understood why I should pay someone to hold my money for me and keep a percentage of it
I've needed to use Banks from time to time in my life, but I don't make a habit of it
I guess I just see things different, like gold, it's just a shiny rock to me with the same value of any rock God put here
But I do enjoy when I sell something made of gold, there's a sucker born every second

Nothing much for improvement here But our snowshoe population tanked in the mid 80's and never came back for most of my life i had a large carcass pile mostly coon Even the crows and ravens didnt pay a lot of attention to it Nowdays a coon carcass doesn't last more the 2 days so maybe prey species in your area has a lot to do with coyote depredation

What has me thinking bigger animal is almost 8' catch circle. With stock DP and big racoon are catch circle is 4'. Unless stake slowly being worked out gave animal a bigger radius, it had to be a big animal. I trip DP by hitting trigger catch on outside of trap. If animal had one paw on top of trap and hit trigger from outside could be caught with paw not able to work trigger. Also picture shows several 3 to4" holes at edge of ring like making dirt hole set. Dont know how to post pic but not good picture anyhow.
