Get that crap off there Rob. No need to mess up this thread with it.

Wow ! Well done !

Taking the head in to the vet and eventually the state lab for testing only shows an animal in the advanced stages of rabies.

Rabies travels thru nerves. When I studied it, the rate of travel was an inch a day. An animal bitten on the face had a much better chance of developing rabies in a few days than one bitten on a hind leg. The hind leg exposure was going to take weeks before the virus made it to the brain and the disease developed.

That being said, state health recommendations are to treat all coon bites as potential sources of rabies and to get the rabies shots started as soon as you can. As for the pig, well, it might be time to say good bye and send it off to rendering or whatever your vet says to do with it.

Was in Walmart yesterday and someone had lost their catheter. It was lying there on the sales floor. Never heard an announcement for a lost catheter. lol

Best purchase ive ever made

Pocket size pig castrator.

I have 30 of them for the most part they do pretty well. Occasionally, you’ll think one isn’t working because you don’t get pictures for a few days and then you go walk by it and send you a photo instantly. If you’re in good cell service, the batteries last a long time I’ve gotten close to a year on some cameras. The photo quality is marginal compared to other brands, especially at night, but I seldom have a time where I can’t identify what the critter is.

You can set delays and schedules so it’ll turn off and on at certain times of the day. I do this on cameras that get a lot of photos when the sun is overhead. I’ll have it shut off from 11 AM till 2 PM or whatever it needs to be to conserve photos. I seldom go over the hundred photos per month. You can also set them to take a photo every day at the same time regardless if there’s motion. That is a super handy feature if you want to put them over your traps so you know that the camera work and you know you don’t have an animal.

When you do have problems, it is usually because the SD card needs to be updated with the new firmware. It’s not that hard of a process. It’s just a little confusing the first time you do it though. The only issue I found is the little battery carts. Will get a little corrosion and stop working. The camera is fine. It’s just a connection to the battery. If I have a camera, that’s not working the first thing I do is put fresh batteries in and then switch the cart that usually solves the problem.

if you do have problems that you can’t solve, their customer support is decent. It is easier to get on the chat on their website rather than try to call. It takes a little while and you have to sit there on your phone and keep it open or the chat will close and you’ll have to reconnect. It’s a little bit of a pain, but for the most part, they either fix the problem remotely or they’ll send you a new camera. The warranty is two years from the date you activate the camera. I’ve had several go out in that time. And they just sent me another one. No questions asked after the troubleshooting.

Spy points have reviews that make them a little more problematic than other more expensive brands but I often find them two for $100. You couldn’t buy half of a reveal Cam for that amount. I also liked them since they are cheaper if they bear mauls it or it gets stolen, I’m only out 50 bucks. I have several cameras that have been running 24/7/365 since 2019 and haven’t given me a single problem, but I’ve also had a few that were duds and crapped out in a couple months.

The raptor population to a hard hit when WNV first took hold. Cats still are the #1 killer of small animals. I have never been to a farm that doesn't have a few barn cats. That does not include the people in town that lets their cat's roam
at night.

I agree, I've only had cats refuse cubbys with 220's. The only cat I've caught was in a foothold set for wolves, when we had a season.

You’ll get quite a number of coon visiting vanilla and what castor is already there. Should work for beaver but will work better for coon.

I am curious how many of these there are? Does anyone else have one in their collection?
The person I got mine from said he had never seen another.

The one I have has some pitting.

Has the add on hump on the cross. Also has a square hole on the cross for attaching a pan post.

The pan does not read perfect.

It definitely does show the 71 1/2.

Any shared knowledge would be a great help!

Look good, really have to study pictures to find them.
