My grandfather logged with Belgiums. Wish I could have been there.
We have a festival in the summer in Denton, NC called the Threshers Reunion. Either Friday Or Saturday evening they have a horse pull. Percherons and Belgiums almost exclusively. It's a good show. Got a few guys who still log with their horses. Massive animals!!!
Don't know about any breaking point, but there sure ain't any poor or broke farmers around here. The amount some of these guys get in subsidies is crazy.
If going into a new property I use google maps first. Locate the potential hot spots by terrain and trails. I head to those areas first and look for sign. If there is good sign, I set those spots up first. Then as I travel around the property, I look for sign and other potential spots to set up. I don't go overboard on setting a ton of traps, but I don't have the density or non-target animals like some areas. I set 2 traps at a location with mediocre sign. A location with lots of tracks and scat will get 3 to 4 sets.
A section (640 acres) of pasture ground here will probably only get 6 traps, 2 traps at each location. A third might be set if the spot seems to be getting a lot of action. I'll also put in a couple of snares on good, grassy trails.
Glad some of you like them! Ha, keeps the old guys busy tinkering. The hole in the back is a finger hole for a hatch. You do the hatch first and then you can put your hand inside and push the disign out the front. I poked a hole with a pencil and inserted some cylinder shaped magnets I got from Amazon. Push them in flush and add a drop of superglue to keep them from pulling out. Make sure put them in so they attract and don't repel before you glue. I did magnets on top and bottom, stays secure. I also took a pic of the pumpkin light.
I cut and treat the stump, now is a great time to do this. I use a mixture of 20% glyphosate. Works good. Was out today hunting them and bush honeysuckle, autumn olive and multi-flora rose.
I've been at it for about 6-7 years on my 26 acres. Not much left, mostly stuff that is less than 6" tall. Its rare I find one over a 2 ft tall.
Only ever watched one episode, was alone, in the dark and it came on, don't remember what it was called but it had 2 (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) hounds in it,. Scared the heck out of me, lol, would never turn it on again....still ain't gonna do it!...
the question is would the backlash on CZ be bigger than it's Canadian contracts
In an ideal world all arms makers would refuse to do business leaving Canada without a source of new arms. Kind of like they would do to their own citizens. But we know that the arms industry is full of prostitutes. Kind of like the 2A community.
Hey Wolfie... I seen that BCA has the whole complete gun in 22-250 in an AR format. I recently just bought a BCA AR 15 in 22 Arc. Have short it about 20 times shooting and cleaning and shooting and cleaning some more hoping to break in my SS barrel. Functioned great ! So far. I have not shot it yet with a scope to see how accurate it is. I am not doing such a detailed testing as you are. Some people like BCA products and some people cuss them. Thanks for this post...
man I been eying there ARC barrels some hard lately! Love that lil cartridge...or at least the idea of it
