I would love if we could burn every year. We've been begging them to burn for a number of years but due to state laws the smoke can't cross a highway during a burn which causes it's challenges being on the south side of a highway. Kansas seems to be a lot more open regarding burning as well. We were lucky to get ours completed just prior to the onset of the fires out west and last I checked the whole state was back into a burn ban. That pasture was still hot in places for around four days after the burn, I could see how it could get back out of hand but it also made my life a million times easier being able to see what I was up against. The trees I had down prior to the burn were completely disintegrated and it did kill even medium trees in it's path that I hadn't got to yet. I've got every cedar down that's not in the deep banks of the property, now I am just going to try to keep them at bay. We've had people spray with four wheelers, one plane spray, and we've had combinations of skid-steer work done over the years. It's never looked as clean as it did the day after the burn.

I just shut down the part of my brain and just go on muscle memory. I know what I have to do so don't think on it just do it. . One of our buck goats had to be put down while I was in the hospital . I just coached my wife on the phone and she was able to handle it.

Here is a tool I came up with to help me get up from the floor when there is nothing around for me to grab and stand. They are turned from Delrin, the same material as police batons. Two staps allow it to be worn on your forearm for instant access. Also makes a good self defense tool. Front strap is lined leather with buckle to give a sturdy connection and rear strap is elastic with velcro closure for quick removal. The end is based on a goat hoof design, hard edges with soft interior to give a firm footing. 12 " long by 2" diameter. Weighs one (1) pound Price is $ 70.00 shipped in the US. PO Money order ships in a day or two. Personal checks take ten days to clear first. Thank You

Any reasonable offer will be entertained.

Typical Monday in Williams?

you get good at running rats with them buckhorn sites and you are going to be a running deer master with the center fire lever gun.

Awesome interview.

As for the sold catalog. Find the lot numbers of the animal in question, go to YouTube and see what the thing sold for........ Or, sit and wait to make a decision. Unless the lots you're looking for got cut off in the vid clip? It's happen with my wolves last year, couldn't go back the next day to see.
There's a lot of stuff still going on right now.
Indecision is a killer in every position I've held. It's the old saying........Either crap or get off the pot......lol

[quoteI make decent income every year I trap. I record my income and expense and do a schedule C on my taxes. Don't claim to be getting rich, but I pay my bills during the off months from my regular annual source of income.][/quote]

Hobby "jobs" that generate more than just a little income are best to be treated as "businesses" on tax returns. The standard mileage value in 2025 for my big garden- produce selling and ebay selling ended up saving me some federal taxes (we have no state income tax here) as I transitioned from my far, far larger $$ job that I had at various salary amounts (the last few years being the highest) over the years.

I don't know at what self-employment level of income that one starts having to pay the full 13% of Social Security or the little bit of Medicare tax on earned money but the IRS has never questioned me about those issue with my little side gigs.

Lol

Bob, it used to be that hatters were known as Section III of which we had gd dmg and IV & dmg. For quite a few years now there no longer is a IV grade in beaver, so all of the worst of the worst are put into the gd dmg grade.
