What do you want to trade for that^^^ spud???

You should just take it from the kid. He doesn't trap anyway. He just watches Oprah.

Here you go 330. The Silver one is the original that I have had for probably 35 years. The guy I got it from claimed to have had it forever. The bevel is just on ONE side. I bought one that was beveled on both sides and you can't bevel a hole out with it. The square handle isn't as slick as round and is strong enough to pry with. That chisel has gotten the Tundra out of the slush more times than I care to remember. The spud itself is the end of a leaf spring out of a semi. The guy that I had make a batch for me had a plasma cutter and said it wouldn't be a problem at all. I think he made me 10 of them and said never, ever again and don't even ask! I guess the double bevel at the top of the "teeth" was a real pain in the butt.

Got the fur all put up. Went out and started hanging snares for coyote today. Was nice getting back in the woods again.

Good evening,-2 right now,so winter is finally here.Saw 2 red fox paired up today out in the big woods,seems to be a fair amount of fox out south.Have a good evening everyone,making a late dinner and taking it easy the rest of the night.Hope SPOTS are in your near future.

One week left for the cat trapper's,good luck.Then some under ice beaver trapping snaring.When I get back from out west,I think I'll snare a few under the ice to pass a little time by,maybe even ice fish a little.

would you want to trade for one of those Spuds??

Morning,0 up here in the dark swamp.Has anyone heard what our marten and bobcats are going to sell for this year?I'm not selling any,just wondering,I've read they might be up this year.I haven't talked with Matt Carlson to see what there going to bring this year.Have a good day everyone.

One week or two? I wrote down that season closes the 21st.

Rob, it closes on the 14th where I live.

The one on the Legal Defense Banquet went for $220. I heard of people paying much more when alcohol was involved! Time consuming to build, but the finished product is well worth it!

Holy cow....

I think I paid over a $100 for my Milac chisel,it's a good one,but different than those of Rob's.Look like it got to -3 this morning,high of 14 they say,nice and sunny now.

Light snow going here now
part sunny

check traps later to wait on Barrett

A few more wolf tracks today when I was out checking the few weasel boxes I have out,no weasels today, one or two more checks on them.Then my trapping will be done for the season,until I might snare a few beavers when I get back home.Fire up the RMK 600 and do a little late winter scouting and riding.

Weather guessers are saying 1"-3" of snow this evening with possibly more on the way. Pulled all my cat sets today as there's been no fresh sign and it'll be very difficult for me to check them if we get any significant amount of snow. Did check out some fresh coyote sign and set out some footholds and snares at request of a neighbor. No sign of my problem otter but the ice is getting thinker by the day now that the temps are back to normal.

I don't have an extra. The guy charged me $90something to build them several years ago. I sure love mine and it isn't for sale at any price. If you have someone that will make you one, I can LOAN you my old one as a copy for them to duplicate.

The DNR site shows the 14th. The first thing that Google popped up was this stating 1/ 21. I hope it doesn't jam anyone up.
