I like to get country ham sandwiches at those little country stores in Kentucky.


Those stores seem to always have good ham, meatloaf, Salisbury steak, pork tenderloins, liver and onions and sausage dinners. The sides are always decent too.

My brother in law was a high level, token white manager at the Tata Group, India's largest conglomerate and one of the world's largest companies. They would trot him out to deal with other companies and politicians. He started hating working there because of that and all the abuses he saw. Tata and other Indian companies, that do business in the US keep the Visas and other documents of their Indian workers in the US, so that they can't go work for anyone else. That allows them to pay much less than normal US wages.

He also said that the workers frequently forge their credentials and often have very low competency. He now has a very low opinion of Indian people.

He got head hunted, by an American company and got to set up a completely new branch in Cincinnati. He now has 600 some mostly Americans working for him.

I think Indian immigration should be highly restricted. There's too many of them and they could flood the entire West and take control, like they are doing in Canada. So far, mostly more talented Indians are escaping India, but there average IQ as a nation is only in the mid seventies. Indians, like most non Europeans, have a strong tendency to look after their own people first. That's why in Canada, young Canadians of European descent, now struggle to find any entry level jobs.

Indians commit rape at a higher percentage rate than any other people. They have made their whole country, including their sacred Ganges River, an ecological and biological disaster. I fear they will ecologically ruin Canada, which will harm our Great Lakes, atmosphere and both oceans.

I have met a fair number of fine Indians, some of whom I have been friends with for 30 plus years. I was even offered and arranged marriage with an Indian woman, who was Episcopalian, when I broke up with my college girlfriend. I have also dealt with a lot of terrible Indians. I think we need to be highly selective of them and everyone else we let in our country. We need to protect the future of our people.

Just got out of the hospital a few days ago after 5 days in there. I was feeling weak, no appetite, dizzy at times, short of breath, high temp, etc. Finally went to urgent care. They did a number of blood tests and sent me immediately to the hospital. I've always had a low platelet count. Normal range is 179K to 400K. Mine always ran around 70K whenever I had a physical. However, this time the count had dropped to 6K.

They ran many tests to determine the cause while I was there. I was given an IV inclusion of platelets overnight. The next morning nothing had changed. Next they put me on IV steroids.
After 2 days the platelet count had risen to 34K. I'm home now and on oral steroids with the hope it will increase my platelet count.

Still don't know for sure what caused the platelets to drop. They checked for all sorts of bacteria and found nothing. At this point they are thinking a viral infection that had to run its course. I go in for a follow up to see what my count will be after the steroids.

Anybody else ever run into this problem?

My boy bought a super nice little heifer that was orphaned from one of Yes Sir's uncles. He did a little trapping back in the day too but dog gone it he wouldn't budge from the asking price which I think was $300. He told us she was worth every penny and history bore him out


2 years later she was all grown up and fixing to calve and a guy on craigslist gave the boy 2 grand for her. The boy wanted a 2nd roping horse and was sure proud to plop down his own cash. He was all of 9 or 10 years old at the time.

I'm bad to loose enough bottle babies that it never pencils out for me anyway.

I agree almost all rats will be in the corner or top locked in. I did see where a colony trap door was an inch or two under the edge where you would normally put the top of the door. They added a section of 1x2 or 1x1 across the front along the top, then put the door on to the bottom of the section across the top . This way the rats would be up in the corner or above the door and the door could still swing freely. I know I saw a pic on it here somewhere. Hopefully someone can put it in

I have Yamaha 70hp two stroke outboard that the oil pump came apart on, and punched a hole out of the crank case the size of a 50 cent piece. I carefully cleaned all the aluminum and glued the punched out piece back in place with MarineTex; similar to JB Weld. That was 15 years ago, still holding up.

You'd almost have to make it a regional thing. Some hot shot coon trapper from Iowa might not hold a candle to some hot shot cat trapper from out west; or vica versa.

I believe fines and penalties should be enforced and extremely stiff when expensive equipment gets stolen.

I will be using chains and locks in the future, but also need something to lock it to. Not all sets provide a good anchor.
Agree on the penalties, but have to catch the scumbag first.

Traps weren't tampered with this morning, except by the adult male that found his way into the Hancock. Adult pair, a two year old and a yearling so far. I'll see if any yearlings are left over next couple of days. I believe one was released on first night, so there may be a very educated one to catch. The state is chomping at the bit to pull the dam and get it back to the creek it was before.

BMI is no longer in production.

in the 120 category and 160 category Belisle is hands down the best.

I use very few 220s but when I do I reach for a Belisle lol. I only use them underwater for otter in tight locations.

330s I'm equal between a Belisle and a Bridger.

These buys that like overpowered duke 330s are all selling their beaver into the hatter market.


why do you call the duke 330s overpowered?

Anyone coming to hunt Wyoming this year?
Draw results are out this morning.

I drew a LQ late elk tag, any antelope and whitetail deer to go with a General deer tag. We'll buy a couple of cow elk tags too.
Looking good for filling the freezer!!

I knew some Filipino guys. Philippines are lots of islands. There was a boss guy and his two workers. The boss guy retired after working in Ohio for 25 years and moved back. He said it was like multiplying your money by 3. At the time which was probably ten years ago he said he was going to draw about 30-50k a year out of retirement which would make him decently wealthy over there. He made his point by saying that on that 30k he would have a descent upper end house and a daily housekeeper / maid living the good life. His two workers will go back after they have saved up their money I am sure.

I worked with those guys for 20 years and I left that company. Ran into one of the worker dudes on an airplane in another city once. He had the seat right beside me. But anyway.

I haven't seen whats his face in awhile on here. He lived in the Philippines for awhile and is raising his boy in Ohio now.

I would check stem cells out in Tijuana before I had back surgery or fused anything.

"Joe Rogan frequently promotes the Cellular Performance Institute (CPI) in Tijuana, Mexico, for stem cell therapy. He credits the clinic with alleviating his chronic back pain, healing a torn MCL, and improving his joint mobility, all as alternatives to invasive surgeries."

Correct. They got the money for fancy equipment.
I ran into an old trapper last fall while I was out trapping beaver. He said he only traps the odd one for fun now a days. Said it’s not worth it for $5 to hit ‘em hard. I went to his place to chat some more and he showed me his couple catches……..tacked onto the shed “drying” in the sun. Never dry as there was still 1/4” of fat on the thing! Asked when he was going to flesh it, he said they’re done…….lol. He didn’t say who he sold them to, but I’d say he’s lucky getting $5…..
He also said when marten are over $15, he’ll go after them again…….lol
