If the picture is on your phone, swipe three fingers across it to create a screenshot. That typically reduces the size to upload on Tman. Or as stated earlier, there are several photo editing programs which will resize a photo.

Yep. you got otter down man.

Like you, I spent quite a bit of time back in the day trying to figure them out. I wrote an article about trapping otter toilets that was published in The Trapper Predator Caller I think back in November of 2004. Almost all of my otters come off of toilets and it just kind of fit into what I was doing cruising rivers and lakes in a Jon boat looking for beaver and otter sign to set up.

There used to be a guy on here that went by ArkMike. He was in Arkansas and he caught the heck out of otters. Did you ever hear of him Gunny? He disappeared off the site about the time the Dali Lama screwed up the market. I know he was stuck with over a 150 otters up to Nafa that became practically unsaleable overnight.

I'm not a pilot, but I used to be on Wright Patterson Airforce Base a bunch and got to try 4 different flight simulators for training. I've also gone through the Airforce Museum with a pilot and a bunch of aircraft at the tiny Urbanna, Ohio Airport, when they had an event, where my friend talked for a few hours about the aircraft with other pilots and mechanics.

Happy Birthday enjoy your day !!!

I stumbled on this thing on my main line in a big bay about 15 years ago. I hadn't seen it before, but a LOOONG time ago, there was a hard rock mine across the bay from my line and part of my line was used for timber at the mine. Guessing early 1900s.
Anyway, after I took this picture a huge storm rolled in, lasting about 10 days. 10' plus seas and gale force winds kept me away from the line for close to 2 weeks, and when I got back that track was nowhere to be found. A year or two later, again after a big storm, I spotted just the top of part of the track. The first gale and surf had buried it in sand and cobble. The second storm was powerful enough to partially expose it. Over the years it would get covered again, and again partially re-appear, but I will never forget stumbling onto that chunk of extremely heavy steel and then find it missing!

Sweet lean and mean.

I enjoy the science and nature programs on Public TV. I don't watch their news or other programming. I especially appreciate the Ken Burns documentaries and would hate to see them go.

I know a coon can chew thru 14 guage

I would doubt much has changed with the Chinese and fur quality. Like everything from China, I would still bet it is inferior.

Colors of mink that seem most popular are sapphire, Violet, pastel, black mink are making a strong come back, white mink are down from popularity.

Man that looks fun. It’s a bucket list thing for the wife and I. I need to start looking for a place to go next year

Pressure poles work great. Before you use them take some
Chapstick and lube the plunger seal and inner syringe body. Also after using take it apart and let it dry. It only takes a few seconds. I recommend one of these.
