I have listened to lots of missionaries visiting the churches I’ve been part of over my lifetime. Some missionaries had extreme challenges like you mention, others not too much resistance and seemed to be fairly well accepted. Just depended on where they were doing their work of course. One thing that always struck me is as soon as the missionary was done speaking at our church, there would be a “special collection” just to specifically support that missionary’s cause. I didn’t always contribute. Hard for me to give to something abroad like that when our own little church right here could have used a little extra from me. So I typically refrained from donating to the missionary cause and just put a little extra in my own church’s donations. It was a little closer to my heart. Jim

All I can say is that they are as good of people you can find. Hard working stay to themselves and a self supporting group that live a simple life as they can. I never have had an issue with and say what they are going to do if you hire them. Nothing but respect for them.

I've seen brown headed cow birds eating bugs off of deer many times.
At my friend Sandy's, they would eat bugs off of her goats. She caught a lot of the brown headed cow birds, on accident, in her sparrow/starling trap.
Keith Should be killing every brown headed cowbird you can catch Parasitic nesters, meaning they lay their eggs in someone else's nest to be incubated and raised by others. And the chick will push all other chicks out to their death. Send some of those phoebes my way, I wouldn't mind one riding my shoulder and keeping the sand/deer flies off of me

I have to disagree on drying time. The right paint thinned to the right consistency will dry in 20 min. I guess you have never used Killz primer. If your paint never dried, you were doing something wrong.
Les no way am I dying and waxing my BGs.

I picked up a dozen Alpha #3s at the Idaho convention. When I got home I called JC Conner to see which of his kits might be correct based on the spring pin dimensions. They didn't have one that they thought was going to fit correctly but said they would pick up an Alpha 2 and 3 at the PA convention. Last week they called and said my springs were ready. They had a jig they could tweak slightly to work. They also said they will build them on order but folks will need to be patient as they are slammed right now and will fit Alpha spring orders in when they can. Today I put them on my Alpha 3s. The spring pins extend past the tab on the end of the cross frame and make it impossible to lever them over the tab. Well impossible for me. I'm kind of a wimp. The simplest way is to tap the pins back until the spring will go over the tab and start onto the pins. The trap before starting ![[Linked Image]](https://photos.smugmug.com/Fur/i-vJkjzWk/0/KpHHk4FN7QWrvFpW4p6M8HSh4WDJXFRBmscmTZgCM/L/IMG_2524-L.jpg) The pins tapped back. ![[Linked Image]](https://photos.smugmug.com/Fur/i-9SXwn9v/0/KzxkGFWgcVNV9M34WKwW2KLF7xNgC6sxdXThdqvX7/L/IMG_2525-L.jpg) The spring started onto the pins. ![[Linked Image]](https://photos.smugmug.com/Fur/i-hJ7wMb7/0/Mm8zLmPssH8p4m9WrWBwBWPH52PgCWqTDFthMccZL/L/IMG_2527-L.jpg) A slip joint plier works well to rock the spring onto the pin. ![[Linked Image]](https://photos.smugmug.com/Fur/i-QvbhqxS/0/Ktg6cxzZwJbBLD59C6DNjPjjRH7zmdFPKWxkdznRj/L/IMG_2528-L.jpg) I use a screwdriver with a hollow shaft for interchangeable bits to lever the spring ends into the levers. Make sure it is hollow all the way through the shaft. Some changeable bit screw drivers only have a hollow deep enough to receive the bit. ![[Linked Image]](https://photos.smugmug.com/Fur/i-qQdZgK6/0/KsLJ8JcwqXqxsgDSBxJkPHNRh9nMRGfV7DRSsFzj2/L/IMG_2526-L.jpg) Using the screw driver shaft to get the spring into the lever ![[Linked Image]](https://photos.smugmug.com/Fur/i-hXm7p2G/0/NB29j4Z6SP3CsVJCXLw93XwWbWb2jxDmWLh9HMt5K/L/IMG_2529-L.jpg) The springs locked into the levers and the pins tapped back in place. ![[Linked Image]](https://photos.smugmug.com/Fur/i-x8n49Xw/0/K87VZVBXRmrKmPftQ4GsHBh6QKTpwz5VQqGVSSkKH/L/IMG_2531-L.jpg) The clip vise gripped in place to act as a drill guide. ![[Linked Image]](https://photos.smugmug.com/Fur/i-pV5JLXP/0/KJnSCzXT3vPPXW5ffPpftmsCwp4vKw2zw5gnfJQV6/L/IMG_2532-L.jpg) The finished product

Anything that would be free for the youth attending Idaho's Trappers youth Camp. Were looking for wed-sites which can be suggested to the kids from 6 years old to 18 years old. While the camp is for the youth parents seem to get a lot out of this too. So maybe extend your Yellowstone trip and bring some kids ![[Linked Image]](https://trapperman.com/forum/attachments/usergals/2026/07/full-4424-297382-ytappppppppppppp.png) You-tubes , websites what ever could be good

BRUCE Yes we can trap beaver anywhere in the state [/b]BUt[b] when the beaver relocators, that WSTA joined forces with, (half azzed endorsed@ your recommendation) get in your face and spring your traps because they relocated beaver to that area, can't really call that a win for trapping.
WSTA never joined forces with the beaver relocators. As for them harassing you or springing your traps that has always been and still is illegal. We helped kill a bill that would have given them State grant money for relocations. They are certainly not happy with us.

^^^^ Wolfdog, what Jomibru means when he say "on the half" we call "hanging it even". Measure the stretched length of one and a half meshes, say it come to 8 inches. Then you would hang three meshes on an 8 inch spacing. Where I fish it is common to hang the leadline "out" a little maybe 8.25 inches. This causes the leadline to be a little more slack, it hangs better, and is a little more fishy.

Sounds like our red bellied snakes of the north, we don’t have many snakes here but I like em all. If we're thinking of the same red bellied it is the same family as Dekay's. Storeria dekayi Storeria occipitomaculata We got red bellied down here as well.

Used to be you could buy just the tip for the washer/j hook and then weld however long of a rod to it. I bought a couple and made my own. Hard ground or frozen, then a pilot driver or drill is the way to go to save wear on the driver.

I smoked some horses and played around with it. My conclusion it wasnt worth doing. Might even have decreased the attraction.

When I first lived in eastern Washington, we had an open, cold early winter. No snow but hard freezing temperatures. I got some cover hulls at the trapper’s rendezvous and thought I’d give them a try. I used the two bags I had to rebed some of my coyote sets. The forecast was for more of the same and light to no wind. You guessed it. That night 40 mph winds. The next morning I had one coyote who probably found the set before the wind, and not a single buckwheat hull anywhere. On any of the sets.
I never tried them again.
