I don't agree either, but it's their right. Also, what does monetary status have to do with ethics? Would you feel differently if they made 50 grand a year, or even less?

I totally agree with you that it's their right. I'm just pointing out that they are making millions when people died to protect their freedom to do so. They wouldn't play for 50 grand. Thankfully, most people have a conscience and appreciate what we have in this country thanks to our men and women who have given their lives for this freedom.

We were baby sitting buddies son for a few hours. He would’ve been about that age, maybe a bit older. He kept sticking his snotty finger up the water coolers discharge chute. A quick “HEY! ENOUGH!” And that was it. I don’t play BS games like that, I play Lego……lol

I had to eat more than my share of coon, grinners, what ever road kill was picked up on the way home from somewhere that wasn't there on the way to wherever we were headed. I might try one that someone else made. But I'm not wasting good grease that I can be cooking fish or something good in to make them

Morn'n trappers. I was scared for just a second, I thought I lost a day. Not enough hours in the day to begin with !

It's 18 on it's way to 37 here in West Central Missouri today. Looking forward to checking traps on a new place today. There was more fresh yote sign there 2 weeks ago, but I couldn't set it then because of deer season. Was only able to get 5 sets made last evening. Hopefully they haven't drifted out of there and I find some wearing my jewelry in a bit.

Back when this came out the video assembled and brought the viewer information that simply was not on hand as it is in today’s rich internet resource base.

I was a young man when I first watched this very video and it helped me along.

Probably born that way. I once caught one that instead of a rounded tail, the tail came to a point.

From experience especially so far this year with the few traps have been able to get out, even against DR's,advice, the swing type doors can get blocked from completely closing if you get a good dump of snow, 14 inches over night, snow half way up door opening. Where the drop down (guillotine type,door stayed fully functional, especially with additional weight added to the top bar.

Good Morning BT!

I went away from using backing on all sets a number of years ago. There are several good reasons for that.

I have never been a fan of guiding since the beginning. It creates its own set of problems as does backing.

From studying worked set patterns over and over again I believe that backing and guiding have cost me more coyotes than they ever helped catch.

A lot less foot traffic was the norm when guiding was applied to a set. Backing on the other hand can really alter how a coyote works the pattern, and not in a good way. There are other cons to their use as well.

Most of the flat sets shown on this thread have no backing or guiding. Exceptions are when I went back in the photo archives to illustrate a certain topic of discussion.

In the coming weeks I will take additional photos of some of the sets to post up on the thread.

well it isn't as special scope at all it is barska junk but the difference in shotgun and rifle scopes is now basically non existent it used to be paralax shotgun scopes like rimfire scopes would have the paralax set to 50 yards not 100
when you started getting sabot slugs that are capable to 150 yards and beyond in some cases they really became rifle cartridges stuffed in a plastic hull with low pressure limits.

the same 2-7x32 that was in the picture of the rifle is on 2 of my slug guns

my son is running the 1-8 strike eagle he took off his AR and put on his 870 thinks it is possibly the best shotgun scope he has tried , 1-8 power illuminated retical . he had his deer in the first moments of legal season this year and there was no snow on the ground to brighten it up.

yes a rifled slug barrel or even rifled slugs to some extent makes a shotgun a rifle for the purpose of placing a single projectile on target with a better degree of accuracy.

with fewer and fewer states requiring shotguns for deer , even the ILL state is letting single shot rifles in specific calibers happen now , shotgun scopes and mounting options are going to continue to dry up , then it will just be a few guns made and they will be mostly sharing components with rifles for mounting optics.
