Yes, Dave started at Hudson Bay/NAFA where his Dad (Sip Bosma) was head beaver grader. Not sure exactly when he moved to FHA.

Good story, sounds like a fun hunt. We had a great season in Minnesota and Missouri this year. Seemed to be birds talking every time we went. Probably won't have a season like that again for a long time.

In summary, the membership isn't entirely opposed to the use of tech.

It's ok to use cameras and other methods at your sets to notify you of a catch; it's NOT legal to use them as your daily method of trap checking. You still need to physically check traps by human observation. I doubt drones will be allowed by the WIDNR, see all other hunting regs concerning use of drones..

The issues revolved around Wisconsin trapping heritage (why we have a 24 hour check requirement in the first place), ethics (see Captaine's comments), enforcement (what evidence would be used to ensure compliance) and most important was public perception (if you're not out there checking traps, what thoughts does that create in the minds of the general public about trapping and animal suffering in traps for extended periods).



Thanks for the info.

Noise at a race cannot be avoided. Damaging volume is a theater is intentional.

Bobwhite quail and Chukar both easily catch and die from coccidia and enteritis from wet soil. Coturnix quail and Hungarian partridge are both resistant to them. Thousands of years in captivity, in literally crappy pens in Asia, has made coturnix quail very disease hardy.

I just don't understand it.

By the way, Pete: I just got started on your book. You have a serious talent, and between belly laughs, I am thoroughly enjoying every page! When I finish it, I'm sending it up to mad-mike, then when he is finished, I hope it makes it to our cabin.
To those who haven't yet ordered a copy, I highly recommend contacting Pete.


Thanks for helping me to pimp my book! Thank goodness I'm not relying on SS and book sales to buy food!

Last season trapping off the four wheeler convinced me I needed something on the front rack to contain some of the items I carry every day, dirty traps, coyotes, cats, etc. In the box on the back of my ATV I carry a tote of clean traps, a tote of waxed sand and my setting equipment.

I finished up welding the expanded metal today, cleaned it up and got a coat of primer on it. I’ll get some flat black on it and get it mounted this week. I’ll add some more pictures when I get it mounted.

The fall of 1970, I was 19 yrs old, and was invited on a deer hunt to Montana with a friend and his father. I had a new Remington 700 in 6mm caliber along with a new pair of leather boots and not much knowledge of mule deer. For my age I could navigate pretty well anywhere I went in the deer woods of Wisconsin as long as I had a compass. This would be my first trip out west and one of the questions I asked was were there any rattlesnakes in that part of Montana. My friend laughed and said yes but it was to late in the year for them to be out.
We camped out in a valley off a narrow dirt road in the foothills of the Rockies.
Each day we would each go our own way and still hunt through the hills.
The second morning i shot a fat doe for camp meat. Leaving my pack by the carcass I confidently headed for camp only about a mile away to get help retrieving the meat. After walking much further than I thought I should have I realized my compass was
still in my pack by the dead deer. All the hills and valleys were starting to look the same. Trying to gauge direction by the sun I headed in the direction I thought would bring me to the dirt road. I walked a couple more hrs. before
finding it and had seen a small pine snake in the process. So much for it being too cold for snakes to be out!!
Glad to have found the road I started to walk to camp. After walking what seemed like several miles my new boots
had given me blisters bad enough I took them off and proceeded along the dusty trail. I was just about to put a foot down when the branch I was stepping over in the road moved. The size and color made my mind instantly think rattlesnake! The 6mm went into survival mode and it wasn't until after it was dead I realized it wasn't a rattler but being only in my stocking feet no chances were taken.
Continuing on, my dilemma ended when a couple cowboys came down the road and give me a ride in the back of an old pickup as they knew the area we were camping in. Got the doe out with my friend and had fresh venison
all week. I managed to miss a gimme shot at a giant mule buck a day later. My friend and his dad each shot a big one. We still laugh about that trip and my misfortunes 55 years later.
