And use some kind of critter fencing or guards. The squirrels will want them

Told the old man I finally went and got a bolt action.308 . Said he was really happy I finally was gonna do something normal for a change instead of all these weird calibers ...then I showed him the .308 in question and he just went to be fair I didnt say it was a ... regular one

Bird hunting in Sodak a few years ago my dog jumped one out of the road ditch into the green carpet of a recently planted wheat field. English Setter with a big motor in mid season shape. You could see forever. This started 20 ft from me going into the setting sun. It remains the most unbelievable display of pure all out speed I’ve witnessed in person. Let her go for half a mile before I called her back. The dust plumes raised by two speed merchants rising into the sunlight was something I’ll never forget. Generally see one Jack every year out there. …no she didn’t catch that rabbit, but it had to grab road gear.

I got a chuckle from the mention of the Rambo knife. Maybe 25 years ago, we were out on the opening day of trout season. Maybe a dozen of us. We stocked this big hole with a lot of trout, but after a couple hours, they were spooked up. Among my group was my 20 year old nephew. Hands down, the best fisherman I’ve ever encountered. We all had our lines in the water, getting no bites. The nephew had a Rambo knife…..got it out, got out the hand line, and cast out. He ended up catching 8-10 trout with that thing…..the rest of us never had a bite.

Either tanned or green, as long as it's fleshed, salted and dried properly. Money is secondary to quality. AND, it's going to go on her new Bison leather Settee' (I just call it a big sofa) and get corrected

Razorback fans on this forum. Y'all think we'll play ball now...

I’m currently permit fishing in Belize

Use the same loop knot

Use it on everything,, steelhead,salmon, trout, bonefish

On tarpon I use the Homer rodes loop knot,,,, it’s kinda similar,,,, but a “jam” knot to forum the loop


They say 5 twists test out for the strongest breaking strength,,,

Apparently 4 and 6 or more is weaker,,,, 5 being the sweet spot

I personally have not tested them myself

I thought I'd make another thread on plant propagation, since the one from last Spring, that was many pages long, was accidentally deleted when Trapperman needed more memory.

I'm rooting thousands of cuttings again this year including Remembrance elderberry, Catawba and other grape varieties, button bush, American bittersweet, black raspberry, kitty willow, red osier dogwood, a bunch of types of apple, 2 types of pear, Montmorency cherry, lilac, mulberry, Haskap (honey berries) and hazel nuts.

Some like elderberry, dogwood and button bush I'll just stick in soil.

The others will be going in a system with bottom heat to produce rooting. I'll have 2 pallets laying on concrete under an awning on my front barn. On top of the pallets will be an 8' by 4', 2" thick piece of foam insulation. On top of the insulation will be heating mats. On top of the mats will be 2 IBC totes, with the bottoms drilled for drainage, full of sand. The cuttings will be treated with auxin/IBA, which is rooting hormone. The bottom heat produces rapid scarification, which progresses to rapid root growth. The tops of the cuttings need to stay relatively cool to prevent leafy growth, before the roots can support it. Indirect light helps with that too, which is why the cuttings will be under an awning.

This will be the first year where I do a whole lot of grafting. I'll be grafting named varieties of black walnut, English/Turkish walnut, heartnut, butternut and buartnut onto black walnut saplings I am growing. I am grafting che, a red oriental, seedless fruit, onto Osage orange saplings I am growing. I'll be grafting apple and pear onto apple rootstock I am cloning.

I'm going to use mostly hot pipe, callus grafting in the Fall. Basically I will run a heating element in a pvc pipe, that heats it to 80F. The graft union of the tree I am grafting will be placed on the pipe. The top and the roots will be left out in the cold, so they stay relatively dormant. The graft union will be covered to keep it moist and hot. The grafts should form heavy callous and fully take in about a month. Hot pipe, callous grafting has a much better success rate than regular grafting, as high as 95%, for hard to graft trees like walnut. I would like to graft about 2000 trees this way, so I'll make a lot of extra grafts.

I'm also going to attempt hypocotyl grafting onto walnut saplings, so that I have grafted trees I can sell this Summer. The hypocotyl is the short stem part of a seedling between the root cotyledons, the leaves that come out of the seed and the first true leaves. There's a narrow window after the tree first sprouts to graft this way.

The first of a great many of Remembrance elderberry clones I'll be making



Haskaps, semi thornless black raspberry, Italian plum, black walnut, elderberry and Montmorency cherry.



Compost.



Cold stratified, black walnut seed.



Planted black walnut seed.



I picked up a load of plastic pallets to use as nursery benchtop for $3.00 each.



Red osier dogwood conveniently growing across the street, I am going to clone.

Never watched or listened to that but I just had a few burgers

Should be a 5.9 cummins think in 2007 that came out with the 6.7.

Good luck to you

I was using my friends setup. Just gator ade bottles and circle hooks on 36" of braided twine.

Swampwolf got it right.
