My old fur shed... Highly organized as you can see. lol

Tell her it be gone in a few weeks unless it gets humid then double that amount of time. LOL

Says the guy who can skin a coon in less than a minute!!!

We're about to go in the negatives again, could I start now or is it more of a summertime making. I know it would do better in the heat but I'm just a little anxious to make some. If it helps I can maybe leave it in the water shed I try to keep that bout 40 so the pump doesn't freeze.

That wrap would feel better in your hand, if it was really cheap I'd probably do it, but if I had to spend more than $3-4 per wrap, it ain't worth it to me. I'm ok with the bails on my spinning reels though. I open and close them by hand anyway.

I had an outdoor wood boiler for many years. Had a propane furnace as a back up, but seldom used it. I finally quit using the wood boiler because the underground line sprung a leak. I still enjoy cutting wood in my woods for the exercise and give the wood away to a couple of my neighbors who have outdoor wood boilers and can use the wood. One of them has a really nice gun range I get to use whenever I want to. The other guy allowed me to trap on his many acres for years exclusively.

Bingo. Trying to grill and smoke stuff when its 5 degrees and blowing 30 mph isn't a lot of fun

All joking aside I was skeptical on doing meats in it till I tried it. It's not as good as off the smoker or grill or flattop, but it ain't bad. Little olive oil and some rub pork chops and steaks come out pretty dang good.

And I'm not gonna debate food with folks that prefer bass and catfish over brook trout and walleye.

For Sale: Three Newhouse transition #3 double longspring traps. Thes are ATC traps w left over Newhouse Oneida Community pat sept 26 11 pans. They have full kinkless chains and rings. Trap #1 is very clean, basically new trap that has been dyed and waxed. Lots of factory shine under dye and wax. $75 + shipping. Trap # 2 & 3 are brand new, fully clean and total factory shine, BUT a previous owner engraved his name on one spring, his initials and the number 7115 on top of the base, and his name and town on the bottom of base. he did a very nice engraving job, it is not sloppy chicken scratch writing, but it is there. these are still very nice, very clean traps (and 100+ years old!) $90 each + shipping. Take all 3 for $250 shipped to you. Send me your cell # via PM for pics.

Yes I assume is CC because of the flakes. My Dad preferred it over anything else for stopping traps from freezing up. It will melt ice or even lightly crusted traps, it creates heat when it gets wet. Dad used to run it through a thrift store blender to make it a powder. Dig trap bed, layer of CC dry dirt, bed trap CC then dirt again cover with CC and dirt till flush or slightly below ground.

The 280 is a haahd hitting trap. When setting crossovahs for otter...that is the

#1 trap

He lost the race by a country mile

I could see 5 grouse from the kitchen window cooking breakfast yesterday morning and another 4-6 out in the woods. They are up in the trees this time of the year picking apples and buds. Now, about this 50 pound tom hot spot.................
