Joe, I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. I’ve watched it 3 or 4 times now and I’m certain that there are more viewings in my future. I too won’t be too awful far from my truck with the vast majority of my sets.

As for their trail cam usage, I’ve already invested in more rechargeable batteries so that I may do the same thing. I really enjoyed seeing the trail cam video coupled with the results in the end.

I just finished breakfast and a pot of coffee. Going to work 11-12 hours putting back money to take time off for trapping season. Its a simple reality that I can make more money working for wages than trapping. So I work a little more in the off season to make up for that deficit. Coyote market is improved but no where near what it needs to be to quit working a traditional job to kill coyotes.

I’m finishing the first book of The Adventures of Lew and Charlie while dreaming of such adventures and solitude. I’m hoping that someone at the PA Rendezvous this weekend will have some of the other volumes for sale.

I’ll bet that’s a good story. Probably just as entertaining as The Adventures of Lew and Charlie

Some time back I bought six Montana #2s off of a gentleman from trap shed. He gave me a sweet deal on the traps and threw in a set of PIT step down pans and stainless dogs for each too. I installed the pans and rods last night, and four coiled each. Will add double stake swivels this weekend and trap tags, welded kinkless twist link and in-line swivels...then they will go to the "ready to boil" tote.

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

I made a dozen homemade pogo anchors when I got home from work. Might make another 2 or 3 dozen.

Just finished short chaining all of my coon drowning traps thanks to everyone's imput. Made sure there was a swivel in there.

I just swapped out the chain on a dozen Montgomery #2’s that I got and adjusted the pan as well as the tension. I only got 6 done so I’ll finish the rest tomorrow as well as start on another set of traps.

I got my order of lures from Lenon’s Lures. Thanks John and Sheri Chagnon! Free shipping over $30.

I took off some kinked drowning cable from some beaver traps. ( I really need to get more rebar drowning rods).

Organized and added some new shelves to my trap shed/ everything else shed.
