I got a phone call today that informed me the neighbors were about to have their road wash away. The boys and I cleared the dam from the culvert and got water flowing again. Just about froze my feet off, but we got three sets in. Wasn't very fun trying to drive a stake. Hopefully the problem will be solved in a couple days.
Anybody else chasing beavers?

WD imagine you want to make a joint fail by over loading it- would it take more force to split the horizontal beam where you have already cut it or to drive a post into the ground? That is why removing material from the posts would have no consequences while cutting the cross piece might.


For a swing stand and with a brace you should still be fine but I just wanted to share how the ol men in my family and the ol farts I day waged for would answer my how to questions. They would train me how to work the problem and rib me raw if I did it bass ackwards!

There's a reason mules are not used in rodeo bucking events. As aggressive as bulls are , they are still not as in depth in angry calculations as a mule that feels slighted.

Aaron, you witnessed first-hand future tactical calculating of the mule and dog.

It always irritates me to have a dog run out and bark and circle me as I ride along . Not on anyone's property. The dogs are free roam .

I leaned a power move of directing energy in movement towards loose dogs before I get to them, that works surprisingly well. You look them right in the eye , raising aggressive feeling energy to them in body motion warning. I learned this from Pat Pirelli. Ceaser M, the dog whisperer, also attests to direction of energy as type A leadership.

When riding my big running mule, I wouldn't do that. I'd just sit deep-seated as if on a cutting horse, loose reins and let him do his thing. When dogs would get close to snap at his legs or face, he would move lightning speed and nail them . Sometimes he would toss them yards away with a mighty fling with them in his teeth. They never bothered us again.

At times, it has also been reported that they will protect and defend their riders if the respect and partnership meets the circumstance.

I do tend to get exited by wolf and beaver sized longsprings and also by most any toothed trap, especially Newhouses. Always looking for #44 Blake and Lambs too.
My boys will be looking for rodent traps. They really like mouse and gopher related stuff. George had a small flame for them, then Mr Skratmandoo poured gas on the fire, lol.
My wife, if she attends, will be looking for something that she thinks will look neat on the wall.

Had a great deal a few weeks back with KSlongliner. It worked out to meet in person on my travels through Texas and he was very easy to work with. Traps were great at a great price also!

Do any of you grow Sea Berry, AKA Sea Buckthorn? I generally avoid planting thorny plants and will hack them down, when present. If you grow it:

How bad are the thorns?

Is there much danger of it spreading?

Is it worth growing?

How's the taste?

What do you make with it?

I don't doubt for a second that Beav could traverse those banks though. Lol
Yes same here. Drag way too many coon out of steep banks. Here in the Midwest mink trapping means coon in most situations.

I'm with you guys - I looked at those pictures and thought that looks like a great place to catch coon!

Thanks for looking.

I hear they are sold out and the market is hungry.Hope you break the record BP.
I got a few more cats on the June sale as well as some marten and otter.
Otter could be better but my tanned inventory is sufficient for a while.

I could smoke a ton of sea salt and peppercorns with that wood for my Santa Maria seasoning.

Nice haul, we brought a fraction of that much back from Texas this Spring.
I let the hubby split it for me, lol.

I'll limp along with my 2014 low milage Ram as long as I can, Heck, all I use it for anymore is back and forth to the dock, picking up bait, and delivering to the fish store....I dread the thought of getting a new one , especially at my age.
If only someone built a basic, no frills truck you don't need an IT diploma to operate.


If you gave me a free New truck it would be up for sale the next day. No way do I want a new truck.
I see guys driving around in their 80K trucks and shake my head at their decision.

I'll take an old one, for say 10-15 grand, spend another 10-15 grand at the most to go thru it, upgrade some stuff and It would be good for another 20 years with min. maintenance that would be easily done by me if I choose.
Simple, cheap and easy to fix and keep on the road. I can do this stuff myself and save a ton of money. I'm fortunate I have more options than those that can't or won't. No way does a new truck pencil out economically for the average Joe.

New trucks have way too much tech and lack of choice on options. Do some research on the cost of tech and cost to fix. $5000 to replace the taillights on Ford truck, $800 to fix a broken door handle (just the part cost for a diy) on GM trucks.
I could go on and on but I'm sure many of you know these things. I shudder at the cost to keep one on the road for 20 years. Just what the manufactures love, cost a lot to buy and fix so you have to buy new every 5-10 yrs.

Manufactures and dealers for years have pushed loaded vehicles and Americans have lapped it up. Gotta one up the Jones.

I'll buy new when I can get one with a small 8 or straight 6, manual trans, no power anything other than steering and brakes, a bench seat and no A/C. No fancy tailgates, no touch screens, no modules controlling every aspect of what the vehicle does.

Before you ask, I don't drive a pickup any more, don't need one or want one. Last one I had was about a 2000 (don't even remember the year as it was so forgettable) GMC heavy 3/4 ton I bought new, plain as possible, no options at all and 2wd. Did the job I asked of it.
Cost less than $20K. Even then it had more junk on it than I wanted.



This is exactly where im at with it as well. Its cheaper to dump money into fixing a nice old truck and it will be more reliable.

Neighbors have a golden retriever they buy them for. I gave them a set from road kill 6 pt. Had a ton of basket rack 8 pts she gave me 50 bucks each for 3 sets. I just cut them up with saws all into 4 pieces. She was tickled to death with them. Said she had other friends take all I wanted to sell.

The antler chew market is bonkers, pet owners are funny. My youngest son actually used to cut some up and sell to people like you but the bulk of them we just unload to poundage buyers. The real good ones never leave, my basement has been taken over, I’ll have to kick the kids out to get some of it back.

Man i have so many cat rods and reals in various sizes. Berkeley BigCat rods are fine and a size 60 spinning reel will catch any fish in the waters I fish. That said, I love my catfish connection bait caster on my catfish pro 7' 6" medium heavy. Headed out now to hit em.
