Seems I have read that the Blackfeet nation were able to push back other tribes (notably Nez Perce/Shoshone) from the better buffalo grounds because of how well armed they became early in the game from the Canadians. Guns have always faired well vs stone age weapons.

I remember from Jedediah Smith's journals that while under house arrest by the Mexicans in California his men gave shooting demonstrations that astonished the Mexicans. Might have been not only to impress about their marksmanship, but also to give them pause about getting into it with the Americans.

When I lived in the Amazon on occasion you could find a few wild cherry tomatoes. I picked tomatoes and walked through slash and burn clearings and dropped a tomato every stride and stomped it. Came back in a couple of months to wild tangles of cherry tomatoes everywhere. Normal hybrid tomatoes never produced a crop from all the soil diseases present. Even the fusarium-verticilium resistant strains.

I was almost 60 years old before seeing my first bald eagle in NC. Now they are very common near lakes and rivers.

He is such a bright young man and good looking. He might find good work in the movie industry if he had a mind too and had the interest.

Grumpa thanks, but I can’t take credit for that the hunter did that while I fleshed the hide back at camp.

Mt, adfg measured it when sealing at 27 3/8” above avg. but not a monster.

Waggler I don’t promise anything and like to talk to the hunter about what they are hoping for before we start to get a good clear understanding of what we are looking for. Some guys like the hunt as much as the bear. Of course some hunters that changes as days go by, both what they want, and how much they enjoy glassing in inclement weather. Others are willing to pass until the trophy they want comes along. Sometimes that means more than one hunt as I’m sure you know.

Greetings from Frosty Central Montana 29 above but feels more like 22 with a high around 47 our breeze is out of the NW at 7 mph the humidity is 99 % under cloudy skies with a chance of snow flurries throughout the day for another great day in Montana !

Enjoy your day and Stay Safe out there even if you don't want to ha ha !

If I was looking for some #11's, there is Sleepy Creek, and then there is everything else. I've managed to snag some SC's off ebay.......but there is also the Trap Shed........either for sale or post a Want To Buy. Given time, they will show up.

As for 2nd place, I don't have samples of them all, but Northwoods was pretty good. Have kept an eye out for Victor #11, have never seen one.

As for new, the Bridger is below the older traps, and needs help, but OK. The current, new Duke #11.......don't bother.

it makes the blade look like a ox yoke and then sends a 1lb rock across your yard at mach ten

Ours are about done here I think.

Neat.
