we are in a subdivision of about 90-100 homes. It was started in the late eighties/ early nineties.
We have a private water system. Deep well, small tower/reservoir , distribution lines ,etc. ( we're also very fortunate that we have a licensed water/sewer operator living here)

Our water bill just went up to 18 $ a month. It was 16$ a month when we moved here.

We've been here for more than 10 years ,but our previous water and sewer bill from the city ,was more than $ 100,every month.

Happy Birthday.

I can’t remember exactly, but looking up the differences I’d say it was probably the increased protection for personal assets. Employees do stupid things, sometimes involving pesticides. I don’t need to lose my house over it.

Went back and checked my notes, Calvin Cobb out of Homedale, Id. gave me beaver lure recipe from the Mountain Man day. It included a spice called Mace.
The closest smell I could find was Allspice...add that to Swamp Wolfs list.

Take it easy Tom. Listen to your doctors, we don't heal as fast as we used to. Prayers sent for your recovery.

When I use it for fertilizer it sure commands interest from gray fox and coon. Rascals dig it up.

I saw in one of the Game Commission annual reports that an application had been made and approved for a private company to raise imported black rats in Mud lake. I think that was down around Klamath somewhere? Report was from the mid-late 40's.

I hope you didn’t do something I have been known to do is put in the PLUG!

I have not seen the lake yet and its probably a few acres at most. We dont have a lot of lakes or large ones around here. To many fishers and cracks in the rock and why i have sink holes
It hit and miss when people dig a lake on if it will hold water or they end up with dry lake or maybe mostly dry with shallow mosquito pit on one end.

The one time I targeted them the lake didn't have cat tails and I just set the tunnels/runs they made going into the dam. So if the lake is more wild I have no clue how to effectively thin them out or trap them like in a marsh I never spent any time learning about them. Mostly I have targeted coon, possum, (nest preditors) ground hogs and coyotes, with the now and then beaver for friends or to get a foot in the door to trap other critters, and hunting ot fishing axcess. And of course I have picked up the incident mink( never targeted) fox, skunk, bobcat and otter. So I have a lot to learn to be consistent with several species vs just catching a few now and then.

If I have to guess this lake will be clean mayey some treas around it and not a lot of cattails but I could be wrong. And wanted to be prepared when I show up. I guess I will buy some more 110s and take some 1.5s to set anything that look like a trail on land and run it on a drowning set. And any runs unde water and bank holes will get a 110. Hopefully that will do the trick. I thought I read something about lure and or bait set for them. I may run through the archives if trail sets dont get it done.
