I run all season tires, the last few years I have had a lot of flat tires or low tires. I drive a Ford F350 gas, not as heavy as a diesel. Right now now I have three or four patches on the fronts, they are about gone. 45,000 miles maybe. Bridgestones , last tires where Coopers tons of flats. I replace tires yearly. Going to try the Milestar Patagonia A/T next time. Looks to be a good tread pattern, decent warranty and made in the USA. My stock tires lasted the longest at 75,000. But more of a road fire.
Used to have a warden that knew a bit about trapping. He would find me, watch till I showed up and ask to see the next trap I needed to check. Check for a brand and let me move on. Even after several years he made me pull up a trap, I normally run two tags just in case. I also normally would pull the trap, knowing there was going to be a camera on it soon. I try my best to stay legal.
Get some air tags and hide one in the tubing of your stand, then hang it so it’s visible from the road. I knew about a guy that did that with his kids bike and he ended up uncovering a garage full of stolen bikes.
I like that idea! I’d also mark the stand with something that is not removable and only you know about…like use a center punch to mark it and take a picture of your marking for future reference after he gets caught.
Oh yeah. They'd just prefer if we had to work a bit harder/longer for a limit. I was only out about three hours this morning. I do unload the gun and let them hunt back to the truck. Sometimes the black dog mean mugs me when she flushes one and I don't shoot. LOL
Called in plenty of coon while cat and yote calling. Higher pitch calls around den trees. Late winter saw the most response. They have no fear once they commit. Killed them at my feet more than once.
Been several years since I've been able to get out and get after some fur. Wondering my options for selling fur if I'm in north central North Dakota. Either local or shipping to an auction. Last auction house I sent to was NAFA, it's been a while.
Nessmuck, this is a hybrid longbow. A recurve style riser, with extreme reflex, deflex limbs. When strung, it hase a more traditional longbow look, without string contact at the limbs.
Started watching last night. I'm not an expert on the Revolutionary War but Ken Burns made another entertaining and informative series. All of his series have been excellent.
Wolves are moving farther south each year looking for food. We are starting to see more of them in central MN. Once they start killing pets and livestock in central MN hopefully people will wake up and we will start seasons to reduce their overpopulation.
I saw trail cam pictures of two wolves near Alexandria last spring. I agree that it will be interesting when depredation occurs down there. We surely could stand to have fewer wolves up here.
Two years ago, one person had a video taken from his phone of a wolf on the outskirts of Rice, MN that I saw.
Greetings Trappers and Trapperettes from the Middle of Montana 36 with a high around 55 our breeze hasn't shown up yet but chances are it will the humidity is 64 % under blue clear skies for another great day in Montana !

Have a busy schedule on the calendar this weekend so pulled the sets you have been viewing the past three days but I couldn’t stand not having something working and late yesterday afternoon I put one in within walking distance. lol
Yep. My uncle bought one for when we do cows. It didn’t take me long after we used it for the first time before I ordered mine. I don’t have anything bad to say about it in a year and a half of use
That's all I needed to Hear. Thanks for the reply.
