I got a customer that has a huge swan feeder and the other day there must have been 30 woodies gathered around it. The young drakes are starting to get feathered out and all in all it was a pretty colorful sight!

Do the rest of you feel like that too? I agree, Paul. This month is busy. With Iran flying around, Syrian pro-Asaad forces, and bow Cuba.... Wait....trapping?

You need to stop reading, watching, and listening to the news in every way, shape, and form. When was the last time your heard anything good from the lying media? You ever watch how happy and contented kids are? They've got the Disney channel; you've got CNN! You can kick the habit.

I just got a call tonight from a woman with three skunk dens on her property. I'll be setting it up in the morning. I'm hoping for a few more beaver jobs before things start to freeze up.

Luckily the college kids are off this week. You guys are right about skunks this year. My grandson just took off to a new skunk job and I've got one waiting in a cage. It was 30 degrees Friday morning but it could hit 70 this week.
