Weight of the squirrel closes the feeder... Figured out if he hangs from the roof it will keep the feeder open...really Thought I was a good trapper until I started trapping coyotes...... Thought I was a good bowhunter until I targeted mature bucks....

Any that have escaped my traps were never caught again in either that style trap or that location. They are "all in" on survival. Cheers.

Of the dozens of names, like Shirl, Earl, Burl, and Merle, one name stands out: Twirl. It seems she may have encountered a machete attack and lost a limb. Her attempted escape was anything but a straight line. Man who mistake shillelagh for fairy wand; see pixie dust, also.

Time lapse pic on a balloon with peanut butter on it was amazing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqizwnLuE0Y
