It was a long time ago.

I started waxing straight dirt. Then I tried mixing dirt and sand. Now straight sand. I like the waxed sand better because, as stated before, alot less wax and I have an easily accessible source of pretty clean natural sand on one of the ranches I trap. Also, I find it easier to bed a trap in waxed sand than waxed dirt.

Sand is heavier, so I got 3-gallon buckets, easier on my back!!!

Big sam…. Gotta love those slippers

Love that picture boco ….original or did you edit it??

They're there to do a job.
Nothing more!

I see others, family and friends that have COPD , first thing they do is go on oxygen , two years later they're gone.
Some cases are different, depending on the type of COPD , but there all treated the same.

Have been on oxygen for 8+ years , used it about one week, and got tired of dragging a hose just to go to the bathroom.
Couldn't go 10 feet without gasping for breath.
Sat down and got my breath back , and never used oxygen since.
I'm still here and seen so many that lasted two or three years on oxygen!
2 liters to start and a year later 7 liters and dead in 6 -8 months

You are totally ruining my image!

Jim Dandy grits here. Bring four cups water to a boil, toss in a stick of butter and a teaspoon of salt. Stir in one cup of grits stirring well and breaking up any lumps, no one likes lumpy grits. Return to a boil then lower to a simmer and let cook while working on the rest of the meal. Keep an eye on it and add water if needed, it'll thicken up as long as the grits will take on water. It'll take about 20 minutes to my desired doneness. Serve with more butter and salt.

2001. And I figured it o didn't mention my pants, one of you would. Lol

One of my favorite conventions. I enjoy this event and so does my family. Everyone was great to us. I agree with Rick Decker and Harold above. Maryland again had a successful event. Thanks Ron and Betty. Speed skinning demos are also enjoyable for me to watch. Good otter, beaver, fox, coon and muskrat skinners. The auction seemed to go well as Pete's traps went very well. The Limited Rich Faler autographed books by the contributors seemed to have good interest. Overall it was just nice to get away and see many friends. We were reminded however how fast things can change when a speeding driver ran a redlight and we were narrowly missed. Safe travels to all wherever you go next!

Once saw an osprey with a large rat in its claws. It was so exhausted it could hardly fly away. It was on the beach.

My neighbor was surf fishing when an osprey dove into the shallow water and caught a nice flounder, then dropped it on the beach. The fisherman put it in his cooler and later ate it.

Both incidents took place on Hatteras Island, NC.

Thank you the Bailey trap is the one I was curious about

They all catch, if I'm spending my money it would be NoBS K9 Jr, MB 650, and Bridger #2 dogless for coyote and cat.

Do you a high fence?
