Interesting, very interesting, thanks for sharing.
I got myself a seniors' GPS. Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination, it tells me why I wanted to go there.

All our nesting boxes had that metal ring in them, and there's still some box/pen parts around the farm somewhere along with a few stacks of old pens with popple and bam growing up through them.

Eric do you mind sharing where your mink farm was in Wisconsin, just wondering because there used to be one near my cousins that went out of business around then and wonder if it might have been yours
Always like going past that place, I know many don’t like the smell of mink musk but I always have

Cool history, Eric. I had an uncle whose brother raised mink. He re-did all his nest boxes once in the late 70's and I grabbed a 1964 F-100 bed load of them and nailed them up all around the lake I grew up on, hoping the wood ducks would use them. They did nest in some, but so did a host of other birds and beasts. Wish I had another 100 or so today. Some of those boxes were still hanging 10 or so years ago when I was last down there.
