Kind of. Just the ownership ( land ) of the means of production is Socialism. People like it when they get to do what they want on the public land, but not so much when the public ( urban dwellers) restrict their fun . The early history, when America was so great, there was the constant privatization of public land. I'm not saying there should be no public land, just that it is not some great thing. China must be a paradise, since there is no private land,

"The Democrats' Plan To Nationalize Land, Democratic Socialism In Action

A Wall Street Journal editorial of July 10th lays out what the House Democrats’ most recent socialist scheme (H.R.3195 - Land and Water Conservation Fund Permanent Funding Act) is all about. In June, the Democrats who sit on the House Natural Resources Committee passed H.R.3195, which is currently winding its way through the House. This bill mandates permanent funding of $900 million to the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) each year. This would be a whopping two and a half times greater than the Fund’s average annual expenditures over the past 15 years. Just what does the LWCF do? The Fund was created in 1964. It is primarily funded by federal oil and gas drilling royalties. Its main activity has been to gobble up private land (read: nationalize) and put it under government ownership, management, and political control. Among other things, this means that the newly nationalized lands will be poorly managed."

Sure seem to be a lot of Democrats on Tman. smile

Good morning everyone.
BIG chunk of beaver in the back of the newspaper tube or wired above the pan in the live trap.
Gusto, Mountain Marten, Magnum Marten and Sable Oil. All up high on the tree to catch the wind. I rotate through all 4 as I go on down the line. Location is key. Good lure and bait help seal the deal. [Linked Image]

I wonder if someone got me mixed up with that WI gal the way Sheepdog got me mixed up with Cathryn a while back? Anyways that was a lot of typing to say that I am not sure lol.

You guys are so easy. Haha.

Can someone post a picture of a round colony trap with the funnel ends? I get the concept, (big minnow trap with large funnel-shaped ends), but how big is the opening? How far is the recess? How long is the trap? Just one end, I assume? Or both in some instances?

My old Electrical Code instructor had a problem with an arc fault breaker constantly tripping in the garage he just built. He went over and above with the arc faults, he doesn’t need them in a detached garage.
Tried a new one, same thing.. He pulled some sheets off and found a bunch of long staples from the crew that sheeted the outside, one bit through his 14/2 circuit. Guess they used up the long staples that were in the gun before switching to shorter ones.
Some folks switch to a normal breaker when the arc faults keep tripping, they’ll hold if there’s not enough of a fault……until it burns itself clear and nothing works, or the fire department shows up.
Sometimes when the breaker trips, it’s not weak or faulty, it’s actually doing its job……lol

I know a few beaver trappers that use 10 inch ice augers for trapping beaver thru the ice in winter.
An auger is efficient and quick for making baited conibear sets for beaver.

You can get structural fiberglass posts for that. Otherwise a PT 4 x 4, Simpson anchors, top and bottom.(standoff on the bottom to keep out of water). And they make wraps for it.

You are right, as a whole they are not terribly smart. However, some have been trapped in cage traps and relocated by well meaning but misinformed home owners, or they have had some kind of negative experience with a cage trap and end up avoiding cage traps. Some get quite cagey, (pun intended). I tried numerous baits and presentations on the one in my post. The homeowner watched it on multiple occasions refuse to enter the trap. Sometimes it just doesn't matter what bait or presentation you use, they are not going in a cage. And sometimes the best baits only tie your traps up with neighborhood cats. It doesn't do much good to use an attractive fish or meat bait if every time the coon comes around the trap has a cat in it. The mirror was the final enticement for that one. Foot traps and snares were just not an option in that particular situation.

Beaver footholds? TS85 is pretty common up here. Bodygrips, I use Belisles for everything, you won’t regret it.
Check out Dam Beavers site, Duke 330s are the same price as Belisles.
Gotta be on meth for a Canadian to buy Dukes…..lol.

I really like the Belisle Classics over the SuperXs. But, both are great traps.

If memory serves me correctly, a time in life I don't like to remember, she got as low as a couple thousand.

A couple thousand is dangerously low. Mine was down to 6K which got me hospitalized immediately. Glad to hear she's stable. It's too bad it seems to be so hard to find the reason for this problem.

No one mentioned but . . . ( IMO) adding extra 'double' trap swivels on the trap and chain are a plus on that large of a trap for mink !
