Some changes made

Years ago when we first started using a light on a timer, our egg production did increase in the winter. We have never left it on all night though. It is set to come on around three in the morning and go off after sunrise. Then it would come back on towards sunset and stay on for a few more hours. The goal was to give them at least 15 hours of light a day.

I noticed early on though that they did get up with the morning light, but pretty much ignored the evening light. I should say they ignored the artificial evening light and went to roost when the natural sunlight was gone.

I've called and spoke with the FWP Commissioner and voiced my concerns about this as I've seen it over the years and how the bobcats quota was once 1.500 bobcats and would still close before the season ended and that a quota on bobcats is in some ways not giving a actual count on potential bobcats in the region .

Which gives me the feeling that the FWP is managing consumptive harvesters and not the resource

Never clean an antique. Its like baseball cards. The value is in the orig condition.

Heading that way tomorrow morning with a pickup load of 1/2” Black Fiberglass Drowning Rods.

I’ve used 2 trap brands for coyote trapping over the years and was pleased with both of them. The Montana #3 offset and MB 550 both in closed jaws and offsets. I’d buy either if arthritis wasn’t a problem. Now I’m learning the art of snaring canines and find it’s much easier on the wrists.

…. Yeah so we conquer them and send back all their refugees that are over here and make them extract it for us

… give em a couple fish tacos a day and a six pack of cerveza for their efforts … be cheaper than what we’re doing with em now

… oh …. And we could send these brainwashed self hating liberals to cook and serve the tacos to them …how’s that for thinking outside the box boys lol

Really enjoyed it last year. This year I’m caregiving for my wife and my mom so cannot attend. If anyone is unsure if should go or not. Go! Tremendous body of knowledge in the presenters. And a great time to network with other trappers.

I like the state parks I am also in tent

Peninsula state park is one of the oldest and largest state parks in the system

so even if you day trip to it from a place you can get hookups , the one of those I am familiar with I haven't been to in probably 30 years is Harbor village in Carlsville it is a decent distance to most everything else on the peninsula

I will be camping on the Island Next week with friends but we are in tents. The Washington island campground has hookups at least water and power.
