akpp, you have quite a color variation on your foxes. Kinda cool wondering what pattern you will snag next.

Thanks otterman. I imagine that cotton wood looks pretty good when they have no bark at all around. Spruce in the feed pile that is a first for me. I used to use poplar in Montana for Beaver candy.

I have seen it before but not like the one house where there is nothing but spruce. My first clue to the house being there was I saw 8-10 big spruce 10 inches in diameter or better cut and on the ground with most the branches missing. When I saw the dam I thought that what he used them for then I saw the feed pile. If he moved a half mile or so up stream he would have all the feed he needs. The elders around here have always called the little cotton wood 2 inches in Dia and under beaver candy the ones with nice green bark before it gets scaly

Yeah that one was pretty different. Mostly silver and black with the red ruff and just a touch of red on the tips of the guard hair on the sides. It's like a box of chocolates... lol!

Jeff, does that count as 'French kissing a moose'?

Sorry I missed you! I made the rounds yesterday looking for fresh sign. Things slowed up a little with the warm up. Didn't really find much. I'm pulling my sets tomorrow until the weather changes.

Things are slow here right now (at least for me). I tried two stands while out scouting today and didn't get any response except a bunch of magpies and an energetic red squirrel. I called in a couple of huskies a few years ago. I was several miles off the road. Surprised to say the least!

Thanks Otterman! Does the bungee hook to the trigger guard? Looks like your pipe is bolted onto the cowling, right?

Yes the bungie goes into the trigger guard to help avoid the gun slipping out the leather strap on the bungie hook allows for a quick release just grab the strap and pull to unhook. The pipe is bolted on but make sure and use some additional backing I used pieces of the cutout for the scope and a big washer then the nut on the back of the bolt. The carpet lays in protects the gun from the bolts but don't glue it in you want to be able to pull it out to dry after a day like right now with freezing rain. I used an old cork of a king net to plug the end of the pipe a cheap alternative around our house but you could put a plug or cap on too.

mtbadger sorry no I don't and I no longer have this set up I have all the parts just currently not on a machine. I may mount it on the 340 this winter or the new Expedition. It just didn't work well on the Tundra 550 do to the shape of the cowling but did work well on the Polaris 550RMK
