The Hunting News 17h · The first thing people need to understand about wolves is why hunters have grown to hate them so much, because that hatred did not come out of nowhere. It came from city people voting to put wolves on landscapes they never have to live on, then acting shocked when the people who actually deal with them want them dead. If a mouse gets into somebody’s house and starts eating their food, they do not call it majestic. They set a trap and kill it, and nobody questions that. But when a wolf starts killing livestock, hammering deer and elk, threatening dogs, and taking food and income away from rural families, suddenly the people dealing with it are told they are cruel if they want that predator gone. That is the disconnect. People who never have to hear wolves, see wolves, lose animals to wolves, or change the way they live because of wolves are the same ones demanding that the people who do just tolerate them forever. What hunters hate is not just the wolf. It is being told by outsiders that they are supposed to live with a problem those outsiders would never accept in their own home. — Stephen Zieegler Outdoor writer | Owner, DeLong Lures
I’m sold. I believe there was a deodorant thread a while back. Ladies deodorants just don’t cut the mustard. I already use Old Spice Timber or Volcano…but these look fun. The Yoshi themed Brooklyn Bounce fruit scented body wash is in my cart as is Luigi’s Desert Detour deodorant. I’m a sucker for marketing…..
I’ve tanned a few furs using Boco’s guide and I’ve had good results. The leather finishes soft, not greasy or dry, and the fur ends up perfect.
However, I have a hard time getting the leather to a smooth finish. Portions of each fur always end up like the photos attached (a bobcat) - lots of tags that I usually trim by hand. The photo with the tape measure is before the final wash and the other is the final product.
My only guess is I’m not fleshing the membrane off completely?
Jim from Night Owl Lures will be doing a podcast tonight at 7 eastern, 6 central time on lure making. Jim has been in the lure business a long time and really knows his stuff. If you're available it should be a good one! Check it out.
Probably the last one I'll be selling for awhile. This is a #1 sized grinder, perfect if you have thicker counter tops and works great on the top of a freezer. It has a course and a fine blade. $22 plus shipping. Please PM me if you are interested. Reference "table top" grinder.
A buddy from an ATV club reached out tonight looking for some Beaver trapping help. If interested, I can put you in contact with him. Thanks in advance.

I’m looking for brand new, never used, never rusted, never coated Sleep Creek long springs in size #1.5, #2, and #11. I have a collection of sleepy creeks going at my store, and am missing these. Let me know if you’d be willing to part with one, and how much ya want. Thanks!!!
I took a fresh 40 pounder and cut out the back straps and chunks from the hind quarters… I fried them in butter ( as I usually do) but this time,,, I added some rib eye seasoning we sell at the meat market I work at,,, and holy smokes was it goooooood.
I don’t know if it’s sold elsewhere… I’ll try to post a picture of the seasoning later… right now I’m trying internet issues and not wanting to load pictures in a timely manner.
