I put sugar in a trash bag and spray it with spray bottle with water and cider vinegar, mix until damp and pack into pie tins and remove and dry for a few days.

That is a empty super on top of a inner cover packed with dry grass for insulation and moisture absorbent. they call it a quilt box, usually dry wood shaving are used ,I am trying dead grass.

I'm not trapping this year, just couldn't make it work with all the schedules in the house. But we've been trying to stay busy, I take the kids out as much as I can, try to give them things to have fun outside with instead of being inside on a darn device.



Be safe out there!

Thanks Len and Pete!

This little guy is hanging around the yard.

Ther was an owl around my camp too I did not see it but it Hoo all night.

Had one just like that at the church perched on top of the fuel tank vent pipe on Wednesday right before services. Saw something alive that wasn't moving out of my peripheral vision (Trapper senses were tingling!), told everyone to go look out the windows at it. All the little boys went outside to look. Pretty neat seeing one in town.

That's a bad omen when an owl hoots outside your house at night,Muskrat.

Only if you believe in such horse apples.

I believe in such horse apples. You really got me worried now Boco. I did not see what type it was. But it was really noisey

Some say the hooting outside your window means someone there will pass.

One night about 6 years ago I had a great horned owl land on my open bedroom window and proceed to wake me up with it's extremely loud (and close) hooting. There was a family of them hanging around, so we would see them often. Me and mine are still kicking, so maybe it was foretelling my demise in some future time....

Any of you call the ravens? I have gotten good enough to call them to my property but most of the time they just fly over.
I call the owls too but rarely get an answer. When I do it is eerily close, they seem to pop up out of no where. Hard for me to believe these guys were once considered varmints. We have lots of mice and I like the idea of them culling the population.
I just mimic the calls with my mouth, any of you know if "they" make raven, owl or other strange bird calls?

I'm sure I saw Papa Phil with a raven call on Duck Dynasty.

Called in ravens, not really any use to call them in. If we spot them out the country it is sign of animals or caribou in the area. The more the better. Smelt wolves this past weekend, had to ride around until I was able to find them, white out conditions.

Very nice fool, wish I could get out like that.
I really don't have a purpose for calling them either, just think they are neat.

Them Boreal owls are cute little rascals. They have a distinct call too.

Boreal! That's what they are called. Just had this conversation the other day and couldn't think of the name. I never think to use the Google box.
