I had a feeling that big mama is holding out . I then ...whip out Bob Wilson's Green Beaver lure...and the very next day...got the last one . Have done that many times What's different about this lure that they seem to come to it ive never used it or heard of it before.

Fuel injection = take it to dealer. That's why I am going to stick with carbs as long as possible. I've heard that a lot, but I find injectors easier to work on than carbs. Pull them out, grab a couple wires with alligator clips on end, clip to a battery and touch the other ends to the prongs on the injector (every injector I've ever seen has the male end of the plug) and watch the fuel spray. If it doesn't spray, or sprays unevenly, you have a problem. If it clicks when you touch the wires to it, it isn't electrical, so you can take a rubber valve stem and put it over the end of the injector, take out the valve core and drill a hole just the size of the little tube on a spray can of carb cleaner and hot glue it in it. Give the can a squirt while touching the wires and you will force cleaner through the injector. A few squirts usually cleans them right up. If not you can often buy a kit and replace the screen in the end of the injector if that is the problem, and the little rubber o rings. Worst case you can buy a new injector and slap it in. That being said, very few fuel injected ATVs or snowmachines (I believe his Honda might be one of the few exceptions) can be pull or kick started, which is a big advantage of carb fed engines.

Urine that’s turned will have a sewer, septic smell to it.
It’ll also take on that milky gray color like sewage water.
I wouldn’t toss it. It’s not totally useless but I also wouldn’t use it as I would good urine.

This site is one of the sites that people report Bigfoot sightings on. Both sightings in Champaign County, Ohio are less than a mile from my farm. https://www.bfro.net/One of the other sites had I think 16 sightings within a few miles of me. Keith Come on Keith... Open your eyes. They're only like 12 feet taller, aren't they? How are you missing them

I've never had much luck with otter floats at least enough to warrant the trouble of using them. Cages on docks work equally poor IMO. I have had good luck with a swim through type cage with conibear style triggers set under water. Bait with the largest frozen mackerel you can get. Easy to find near the coast where they sell bait. Drill a small hole just behind the gills top to bottom. Bend trigger wires so they can point up and impale frozen mack on wire. Set on bottom or suspend where otter travel. Best if there is a little current. The fish will point into the current and the oily taste will spread downstream. I usually impale two fish per trap and they last a long time if the water is cold. Not so good when the water warms up.

Arkansas and Mississippi aren't the south? 3 hours to sell fur is close. He was in Louisiana some last year. Probably didn't advertise it. Dusty is a go getter. My guess is he's looking to the future, markets are turning. Of course, how much is what remains to be seen

If you could get a hole in one end you could sew fine stitches with one.

I want to buy a 1975 or 1976 or 1977 fur buying price list from Eddie Bauer fur company in Jonesboro IL. Not his nice catalog but a copy of his fur buying price list. If I remember it look like it was a horizontal printed 1 page sheet black and white about the size of a legal size paper. Thanks. Marty.

The woman of T-man are amazing!!!!!! X2 Cathryn , you got the touch. Knew of a gal years ago who used to get various plants from Home Depot and other places that were put up for sale extra cheap because they were on deep clearance because they were dying , extremely wilted or just in really bad shape and unsaleable. 50 cents or dollar or so each. She was able to give the love and help they needed and got them back in robust shape in a short time. Skilled. I bought several flats of strawberries like that.

Going out to dinner my catholic raised wife asked me a question about our grandsons becoming alphabet people. There is no sign of that yet as 1 is 4 and 1 is scheduled to arrive in 6 weeks. I was raised Lutheran. Quoted a few passages (Romans 1). She said the bible has been interpreted so many times its not relevant any more. What say ye. If the Bible is not relevant no since pretending or going to church for her then.

The golden days of the fur trade were gone by the time John (Jeremiah) Johnson got to the mountains in the late 1840s. There hadn't been a real rendezvous in years. 1825 to 1840 for rendezvous. He likely sold his furs at local trading posts. In later years there is record of him making a portion of his income as a woodhawk, cutting firewood for the Missouri River steam boats. . He also did some scouting for the Army. During the Civil War he fought for the Union in the Western Missouri Campaigns. He also, along with a character named X. Beidler reportedly made whiskey and sold it to Indians. Spent his later years around Red Lodge, Montana and died in a veterans home in Los Angles in 1900 at the age of 75.

I use cameras for scouting, I can set half a dozen cameras watching locations vs making useless sets. I’ll set crossroads and field corners if I can find tracks. Other than that I’ll set out cameras to watch. If you have small thicker pines and a 2 track in the middle of them, set it. At least 2 sets on opposite sides of the road. I’d make flat sets with nothing but a coyote gland lure. If you wanted to add bait, I’d just punch a small hole with the driver and cover it with grass or needles after putting a little bait down the hole. My best set in the “open” or fields is a flat set and then add a sprig of broomsedge as backing. It stands out like a sore thumb and they have to check it or mark it. I use a gland lure in the broomsedge and urine about a foot away. The main problem I run into is bobcats clogging up the sets. I could actually find a coyote track and set and still catch a bobcat I have the same issues with dirt holes. I tend to put those in more open areas as well. Coyotes don’t seem to like backing they can’t see through or over. My cameras have showed me a coyote come through twice and would circle the dirt hole but never commit. I went a put a set exactly when I saw it step on camera which was a good 3ft away. The next time it came through it got caught. You say you’re new to this so probably the best advice I can give is make your sets and leave them alone. No tweaking, no adding bait/lure, no nothing. I ride and check…I don’t get out and look and don’t “check out” anything. I don’t care if it rains or not, leave the sets alone unless they’re exposed. Also when using lure, a little goes a long way. The only time I mess with a set is when it’s time to pull and move on to the next property.

I’m selling all my pennies for a nickel apiece! Sounds like a good deal, just wonder how much they'll be worth if left to your grandchildren? I would still look at them very close if I were you, there's a reason someone is offering you 5 cents each.

My response was while I was in Alaska, (40 years' worth). It can be hungry times in dead of winter, and otter carcasses left on the beach, where most everything comes down to eventually where I was trapping, would mostly get ignored by everything other than wolves and wolverine. Mink might take a sniff, but that was it.
