Looks like a cool display that would have drawn me in when I was 5 or 50.

Ibogaine is the real deal. Governor Rick Perry and Bryan Hubbard say it’s a miracle drug and have pushed legislation through in Texas. Texas will be the first state with its own Ibogaine clinic and research program. I’ve researched it a bunch and have completely changed my thoughts on it and drugs like it when done in a controlled manner. One Ibogaine treatment has a 85% cure rate for folks hooked on and drugs, alcohol or veterans with PTSD. Also a large majority that take the treatment have a religious experience and come to Christ. It’s pretty amazing

My beagle once had a strand of tinsel hanging out of his butt. Wife pulled it out and everything was fine.

Couple of years ago I rolled it over into wildlife valuation because there are enough oaks dying without me cutting a bunch.

No market for the timber around here either

People do it for reduced property taxes.

It was indeed.

...and he was a Republican, but surprisingly it was the Democrats who opposed ending slavery....and who also opposed the civil rights act of 1964, and who have for decades supported abortion for the sake of eugenics (cleaning up the races).

My black cherries seem worthless but maybe deer will browse them if I cut them down and they send up new chutes

AJE are they white or red oak ? I’ve lost two white oaks in the pass year and was wonder what happened to them ,I’ve ask around to see if there was a disease going around and really never got a answer but I know of 4 people in different counties that has lost a bunch in the past two years also .

Red oak. But the chestnut borer isn't afraid to target whites.

2 white oak deaths is unlikely to be oak wilt.

Same for me. Makes since anything can break but makes me wonder if its Chinese chain or poorly put together master links from individuals or local saw shops.

I'm also suspicious of the broken chain. I hope he knew better than to use a cheap or modified chain.

My traps are always working no matter where I am.Checking traps once a week in winter is plenty.
Learn to gang set hotspots for concentrated species like beaver so you dont have to attend sets all the time to take out animals and reset the same trap to catch stuff.
And dont let greed for money take you over-you will regret all the important stuff you missed in life when you get older.
And I guarantee you if you think you will have time to do more things when you are old and retired you are sadly mistaken.
I was able to do way more trapping back in the day when I had a full time job than I could ever do now.


Lots of states have restrictive check times for your line. in Oregon it's 48 hours.

The main issue for me on getting away in January is it's when my target species are prime and water conditions might be as well. Lately with floods and then dry spells good trapping is effectively limited to the intermediate. I've never had much extra cash in the winter months and depend on my trapping income.

That said...I'm going to make a concerted effort to get to NB for a convention...if not in '27 for sure in '28.

Yeah that’s what I’ve been doing but looking at opening my own trapping bait and lure company and wanted to see if there was something out there that could help speed up the process. Been making a coyote bait and raccoon DP bait along with a marten and fisher lure for several years Had several people testing it and got excellent results got more trappers that use social media using the baits this year in an attempt to make some Sales. I only make small batches and the baits won’t be ready until early fall but trying to get some customers before a make a big batch.

I thank you for your reply!
