an old guy on the lake where we camp, had a eagle, like this, he would be out in the middle of the lake fishing and he would catch a small pike, he would hit the side of his small boat with a piece of wood and you could hear the eagle answer him and it would come flying over he would throw the fish up in the air and the eagle would grab it,

Was your old man named Sam?....no way they ever called you little Sam!

Happy Bday Rodney!

They pretty much all came thru that porous border you Texans have down there

The problem starts with you all

Did bc harvest in region 7 hit or exceed the quota? What data was used to set the 600 quota? What has been the annual harvest in region 7 over the last 10 years.
Looked at the data. I'd say harvest data does not indicate a need to lower the quota. College edicated bios with no real experience shouldn't be making decisions!

Stay safe and sane!

I started waxing straight dirt. Then I tried mixing dirt and sand. Now straight sand. I like the waxed sand better because, as stated before, alot less wax and I have an easily accessible source of pretty clean natural sand on one of the ranches I trap. Also, I find it easier to bed a trap in waxed sand than waxed dirt.

Sand is heavier, so I got 3-gallon buckets, easier on my back!!!

Jim Dandy grits here. Bring four cups water to a boil, toss in a stick of butter and a teaspoon of salt. Stir in one cup of grits stirring well and breaking up any lumps, no one likes lumpy grits. Return to a boil then lower to a simmer and let cook while working on the rest of the meal. Keep an eye on it and add water if needed, it'll thicken up as long as the grits will take on water. It'll take about 20 minutes to my desired doneness. Serve with more butter and salt.

One of my favorite conventions. I enjoy this event and so does my family. Everyone was great to us. I agree with Rick Decker and Harold above. Maryland again had a successful event. Thanks Ron and Betty. Speed skinning demos are also enjoyable for me to watch. Good otter, beaver, fox, coon and muskrat skinners. The auction seemed to go well as Pete's traps went very well. The Limited Rich Faler autographed books by the contributors seemed to have good interest. Overall it was just nice to get away and see many friends. We were reminded however how fast things can change when a speeding driver ran a redlight and we were narrowly missed. Safe travels to all wherever you go next!
