To the original question from beaverpeeler, both the Eastern and Western Interior of Alaska usually have a fairly high percentage of pale marten in the catch. From what Dirt always says, I guess the Armpit trends that way too.... back when I was trapping 150-160 miles SW of Dirt, we got some pale marten, but always had a fair percentage of the darker ones too....... Like I mentioned to mad mike, I didn't note the premium paid for pales that FHA mentioned in their report, on the batch I had on this sale. It didn't seem to hold true on my grades?
Whatever you use, table saw, radial arm saw, bandsaw, circular saw with guide, handsaw; get a combination or ripping blade, as a crosscut blade trying to rip wet treated lumber is a big pain.
good thing my aunt stopped by his house and left him some freezer stuff , she didn't get the door closed all the way and he had a warning in about an hour. threw out some of the stuff that she left but saved all his own stuff.
Found a large garbage bag of dried weed way back in on an old bush trail when hunting in september one year. Took me and a buddy several months to smoke it all.
My favorite were : Beaver Castor Paste Wiley Red Special 500
Widow Maker 800
Tried others, like the muskrat, a couple other fox, but soon learned that anything that would catch red fox, would catch greys. Back then I would catch twice as many greys as reds. Used to keep a couple reds in old rabbit cages , for their urine. I always was told that greys would go to a reds urine, but reds wouldn't go to a greys urine. It's against the law now to keep them in a cage for urine now in Ohio. Maybe with a special license you could, but not sure.
Nice video. I wish they would have made it two minutes so you could actually see the fur rather than just a quickie. I'm old now...quickies are no longer a thing.
I find watching baseball from a recliner best , you're probably going to want one of those nice recliner type lawn chairs and a Big Yeti cup full of "apple juice"
Angle the DP slightly, put a corn cob in the DP and pressure it so the bottom goes to one side or the other…..coons will pull the cob out and fish for the bait…. It really cuts down to nearly zero on non targets… also, a corncob in a ditch won’t draw the attention a golf ball or paper cup on a DP will….. also no litter, … great place to put a dab of fish oil if needed
This is all about the rather recent, save the beavers craze. There are States all over the place, particularly in the west, where this is taking place, and usually involves closing beaver trapping. The proponents want to reintroduce beaver into watersheds that are already full of beaver. The fact that there are already plenty of beavers doesn't concern them at all; typical lunacy.
If you are a real TOS Trekkie , here is an odd movie with Roger C Carmel ( Harry Mudd - TOS ) and Burt Reynolds. Kinda of an obscure 'B' type movie but Burt Reynolds and Roger C Carmel are the stars with lots of screen time. Not for everyone , but interesting to see Roger C Carmel acting for a while instead of just some smaller bits on Star Trek. Free view on YouTube.
