There's a group who is buying up ranches to return buffalo to the range like days gone by wanting to turn Montana into an American Serengeti .

A Indian tribe received a ranch and did what they want to do and put quite a few buffalo on it and built miles of new fence up and improved water tanks and the whole 9 yards .
Which was fine at first until the buffalo started visiting the neighbors cows, they offered to start shooting the buffalo as they were afraid of Brucellosis spreading to their livestock .

Now those buffalo are all long gone with black Angus in there place .

The initial group uses out of country money to purchase all the ranches and build guest camps so people can sleep in teepee's and commune with nature ?
Its a long way to a major medical center in case a person gets ran over by a buffalo , even the calves can hurt you if you're not careful !

I knew the veterinarian who worked on the buffalo herd for the tribe who told me about it ! Ha ha

84 and 24% humidity is sweatshirt weather!...

Was outside of Phoenix once in April when the temp went to 90, of course extremely low humidity, if you stood in the shade it was a tad chilly, lol

I was talking to someone this weekend and was surprised to hear that the AI centers use a closed loop cooling system of DI water. That means they recirculate DI water for cooling. The way you hear them talk about water usage you'd think a river has to run through there.

Seems to be more to the story and possibly a couple different ways of doing it. Anyway I didn't know that and thought I'd share.

Nothing wrong with a smart phone, IF you use it for the normal stuff you use a flip phone anyway, plus a few benefits, like getting the weather, directions to a place you haven't been before, etc....it's when you can't put it down is the problem....and...there's an off button if you need quiet time, lol. Amazing tool if your not addicted!, grin

If your traps taking hair off, that’s a late beaver……..unless it’s pulled out of the ice and freezes instantly. Gotta pull it out of the steel while it’s in the water under the ice.

My fur so far is about what I thought. Skunks down a bit, ermine level, squirrels up 150%…….. and wolves are wolves.
Big day today!

How many miles are on that pickup truck? In 1973 I bought a brand new Dodge Power Wagon. Came to find out they were made out of the steel imported from Japan. It took about 6 years and thee whole truck pretty much looked like those rocker panels look. The truck cost 3,200 dollars back then.

This is true. I had another call about foxes last night. I did have another company call me to chat yesterday and we discussed foxes.

He has done it a few times at prices between 1 and 2k each job. It’s tempting. I’ll question my local ECO about specifics.

I just closed out a $900 chuck job and booked 3 more chuck jobs yesterday. 2 starting on next Monday, one starting the Monday after that (teacher has school year ending so she can be home to see pics of exclusion work) which will be exclusion and trapping. I’m starting to get some backing away from jobs when I prequalify over the phone once they add in the per animsl charge now that there’s little ones running around.

Yes. I’ve never used them for rats, but have for reds and flyers. I’m betting that the release door on all of ours is long gone and has a piece of hardware cloth zip tied in place by now. Lol. I’ll have to check when I get to the warehouse this morning.

Makes sense to me. Maybe with all these work arounds gas prices will get manageable again.

Dot does fine aiming, circles m well , for fast shooting i can just put the circles around a man size target at 50 yards and dump a mag in center as fast as I can pull the trigger . Mine is a 1x , the 3x has a little different reticle , but not nearly as cluttered up as many of them .

I used #3 montgonerys until the jaws started breaking and then went to #3 Montanas. No issues.
The. For three years I used #3 longsprings with big pans (all exposed) but in two years I had three cats pull out. They were laminated so likely a little slow, and two had a little snow on them but it was heartbreaking, I had all three on camera in the traps.
I bought 2 dozen canine extremes this year to use. I did take the extra springs off a couple to try and they do seem like overkill but we’ll see. I trap exposed sets and try to keep traps sheltered but can’t always. I guess I find out! A (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) of a trap regardless, just might be too strong.

He was the only clean cut one of the bunch. From what I read about this he had a problem with drugs and alcohol. Very sad deal IMO.

I will say I watched it some but it got old quick as some of the crap they did wasn't close to believable. Then when they got busted for not being in Alaska for a big part of the year but we're claiming residency for benefit purposes it proved they were con artist to me.

I hope he's at peace.
