The right thing the DNR could do is manage bears and not hunters.

I'm not much of a bear hunter, but I'd rather deal with competition than not being able to get a tag.


Well when you spend time and money into baiting and find out all the bears in the area go nocturnal because there is so much activity in an area because there is a bait every 1\2 mile going down a forest road you will see what competition does for bear hunting. I have bear hunted for about forty years and have hunted in many different areas of northern Minnesota. I have seen first hand what competition does.

I have honey bees in everything blooming. There are hives up the road a little over a mile. When the caragana starts to bloom they get thick.

Perhaps they referring to the size and power of the generation stations.




From this article about Colossus 2, dated 7 months ago, there is mention of other AI companies building their own generation plants. And, in AI speed, 7 months equals about "several" years, lol. A lot can happen in "several" months.

The hyperscalers are no longer just running data centers, they’re building power plants to fuel AI faster and cheaper.

On my older traps.I added a swivel right to the ring.That way if I want to return the trap to original,,I can just remove the swivel.

I put some money into my older vehicles. It comes with the territory, but nothing terribly expensive. So far I've come out money ahead buying used. All between 33,000 and 80,000 miles when purchased. I don't care how anyone spends their money and not trying to change anyone's mind. Just sharing my experience. I've run all these cars to 180,000 to 208,000 miles.

I bought a dozen old style Duke 850 a couple years ago. Back before the pan tension adjustment was added. I’ve been wanting to modify them and finally got to it. I pretty much copied how Monte Poole modifies them. I got the pans from him. He threw in the stiffeners.

I used a 3/8” fine thread bolt and Nylok for the pan bolt. The tubing is 1/4” black pipe which is just under 3/8”. I drilled the tubes out to accommodate the 3/8 bolt. The brackets for the spring bolts are 3/4x3/4 angle with a notch cut for the frame to sit in. They are tacked in place.

The triangular connector on the back plate gets the swivel out from under the base to make bedding easier. I decided to try the JC Conners shock springs. I have all my wolf traps set up so I can add an earth anchor or extension chain with a 5/16 quick link. I use 5/16 with all my #5 chain and 1/4” with my #3 extension chains so I can tell at a glance what chain I have.

Raise the hives out of their reach or put bird spikes, I like the nixalite brand, in front of the hives. Electric fencing works as well, there are several makes of electric netting designed just for small varmints like coon/skunk/rabbit.

Catching is the easy part, actually solving the problem is the best longterm fix.
