This is the notification I received...

"Just a note to let you know that Morris (Mo) Fenner passed away yesterday. His body was never able to recover after the Pulmonary Embolism. His wishes were no services. Thought you would like to know.
Thank you, Martha Fenner"

Put a screw with a big head on it under the point of the beam if you have a thicker one to hook the lip onto then move to the leg holes add more screws further under the beam to help her hold the pelts in place if needed.

Are there so few bears, or so many hunters, there has to be a draw? Do you think hunters would kill all the bears if there was an open season?

No WI is estimated to have somewhere between 25 and 30K of black bears in the state, which is significantly higher numbers then 20-30 years ago. As you can read on the above chart about 15k permits are issued each fall and roughly 4K of bears are harvested annually give or take a couple hundred. That means that the success rate is about 27% for those with permits. Which to me seems low when one considers the population we have and our hunting methods using baits and hounds. There are signifcantly more hunters applying for permits each year then there are permits granted. So with a fairly low success percentage for those with permits and needing several points in many cases to be successful, getting a chance to harvest a bear in WI with all the bears we have is slim. I applied in 1988 and got a permit. It was 90 degrees that day and I was sweating badly, stunk like H quit at 6 PM and went bass fishing! I miss the non kill tags when you could go out and read sign, and seek out bears but did not have a kill tag.

Number of the beast! Classics!

Does anyone really pack dirt inside the jaws anymore? I used to when I first started as I got the Dirt Sets and Techniques book by Charlie and that was one of the things he mentioned in the book.

Nowadays with big pans or pan covers , not much need to pack inside the jaws anymore unless you don't use them.

Bobcat is ready for the buyer.

Use mine in lures and baits, I use sun rendered and cooked rendered.

Wolfie , seeing what you started with and what you had to work with - cold blue , in my opinion , you did pretty good.

I've seen much worse , you did OK.

Now If I did it with professional equipment and chemicals and a proper hot bluing/black oxide , I could have done better , but yours looks good.

Watching...just in case. I own the same machine.
