So, when we have good water quality, we have what you call scuds or fresh water Shimp. That good news because all these rats and the 2 beaver are being caught in wastewater treatment lagoons.

I got this EBAY package today, shipped by USPS ... 4 days late and

Amazingly, all the stretcher were there and all were straight. What you don't see is, the other end of the box was in similar shape ... in essence all that was left was a cardboard band around the stretchers.

And now USPS wants to add a surcharge through at least January to cover increasing fuel prices.

Seems likw there would be economical reasons for Jerry to stick around WY. after marten trapping and find a bobcat area. Could be a 30 thou check next year.

Little Merc? Yeah, I think I would. Would bring the prop back in balance. The props on my river boat live in gravel rivers and get ground down a lot.
Look on EBay. They always have a good selection of props on there. I've got two types of props. The good ones for when the river is up with plenty of depth in the spring and the not so good ones like what you have pictured; for when the river is down in the summer. What you have pictured looks better than some of the stuff I run. I've always heard that it's always better to over rev a boat motor a little bit than to under rev (bog it down) it.

For years Michigan Wheel made good quality American propellers. They've went the way of everyone else and have outsourced their product to China. I bought one, was total crap and I sent it back.

Look on EBay, you'll find one on there. Gonna run on the river you need a spare prop anyway.

The shrinkage that they apply has always been the rub. The last time I shipped I got docked for 17% which is the lowest shrinkage they've ever hit me with. Usually it's been in the low 20's. Now, if'm I had got a bunch of western select at $100/lb in there I wouldn't have cared diddly about the dang shrinkage.

Hopefully it stays polite. I think it's wonderful that human beings have designed technology that is finally getting to the point that it can cure ailments that could only be cured in a miraculous way in the past.

I truly believe that we are made in God's image and that part of his plan is for us to become more like him. I see Neuralink as a big step in that direction.

Anytime people approach greater perfection, whether in learning, science or even great athletic accomplishment, I see it as honoring God, who made us.

Pretty much what Minkers knew. 2 years after a high water event (creating streambank brush piles) your mink catch goes up. Un-Scientific catch records, experience and trading ideas with trappers who harvest along the same areas mirrors the mink usage info in this study. In this case Mother nature improves the Cover item of Habitat. Extra litters are the result and increases in harvest #'s result. Mink get picked off by a lot of predators here in ag country. Put a black/dark shadow out in the surrounding corn/soybean field, in the winter, looking for a mouse, and they don't last long. Provide more cover along the stream and more survive. You might think abandoned beaver dens would help with natal dens/litter survival but doesn't seem to be as big a factor at the brush piles created in that flood. My experience. .................the mike.

Although in my opinion , it is not expensive. (I’ve spent tens of thousands on care for my pets and that’s my choice and have no regrets)
We have a separate quiet suite for this procedure with a couch and a lamp to make everyone more comfortable. Often when owners choose not to be present the staff will remain with the animal and speak softly and give cuddles and special treats. We gave one dog some breadsticks from Olive Garden, she wolfed down three while we were placing the IV and didn’t seem to mind.
The pre med drug is an opiate that takes away pain and makes them calm. I can’t speak for the animals for what they’re thinking and feeling at the time but we do our best with what we know.


Is there a one shot euthanasia injection or is it two to prevent the pain from the second injection?

I have 7 “garment quality” tanned (by Moyles) Alaskan marten for sale.
Make me an offer on individuals or discounts for multiples.
FWIW I typically far exceed the avg auction sale price on marten taken from this same ‘line.
I will pay shipping.
Better pic available, for individuals available upon request.

Ive never seen heavy grazing hinder cedar at all


It does around here, but perhaps our seed bed isn't as saturated as it is in your part of Kansas. We had (and have) fewer overall natural trees in this part of South Dakota and even the shelter belts planted during the 1930s and '40s are dying out.

I've wanted to take this photo for a number of months but the timing was right for me or the right angle. Finally took it the other day. The old cottonwood wasn't down in the township road ditch as most of the old planted cottonwoods in the late 1800s/early 1900s were but was up on the edge of a crop field. The farmers tolerated it for a long time but then it got split in two during a thunderstorm a couple of years back and the guy operating the land now finally cut the rest down except the stump. About 90% cropland in what can been seen in the photo.

The guys that think all coyotes are easy just dont realize everything that's going on or are just ignoring it to make themselves feel better. Ive been there too. But the more you observe and listen the more you realize theres more to it than just catching the easy ones. Now if your in an area with lots of coyotes and have lots of access and your going for numbers its probably not worth messing with the tougher ones. Roll though the easy ones and move on.
