Can some of you show pictures of your coyote boards. I’m getting ready to build a few more. Wanting to build them bottleneck style. I have seen a couple videos but they are different than some I have seen. I could just copy what I have but see where the necks slimmed down could provide a better looking product.
Has anyone tried making a lure base out of rotted down skunk meat w/emptied pods? Hopping into this as a hobby, primarily looking to experiment… I know oysters and fish are great in both baits and lures, what about bull frogs?
I’m on the whole pan thing lately, sometimes my brain goes on tangents.. Anyway,,, I went to dollar tree and bought several cheap spatulas and cut them into pans…I drilled some holes into them and the existing pans and then riveted them on.. Worked better than I thought. I may have to bend up on the dog a bit though because I think they may be potentially wYyy too light fire. I know light tension is good for mink,, but I think it might be too light. I’ll snap some pics tomorrow if you guys are interested.
I know Williams cages (Indiana) no long exists but I thought long legacy cage traps took over Williams. Do some searching I can’t find Long legacy now. Does anyone know if someone is making the Williams cage traps?
Dozen #1 Victor long springs. Some have the short long springs. All are good users and priced to go. $3.50 apiece plus flat rate shipping. Let me know how many you need. I do have other brands and larger quantities.
I would also trade for larger traps, silver bullion, coins, rounds, bars or old US paper currency.

End of this month is the deadline for applying for deer and antelope for NRs. Hope you all had good luck in the elk draw and good luck in your deer and antelope draws. We'll be in for our elk, deer and antelope this weekend.
Antelope numbers are coming back so might be a decent year to get a nice buck. Mule deer re still down but still some good bucks running around also.
Surgeons perform approximately 800,000 to 1 million knee replacements every year in the United States. I had this done about 6 weeks ago. My surgery recovery is more complicated than most due to the fact I had a complete quad tear about 14 years ago which caused the knee to fail. We will see in about 6 months but so far so good.
General Dissatisfaction: Studies report that roughly 10% to 20% of patients are ultimately dissatisfied with their knee replacement outcomes. Decisional Regret: Research specifically tracking decisional regret shows that up to 26% of patients report moderate-to-severe regret, while about 49% report no regret at all. Complete Regret Without Complications: In uncomplicated cases, total regret is relatively low, affecting roughly 3% of patients.
Top Reasons for Regret Unmet Expectations: Patients often expect their artificial knee to feel exactly like a natural, pain-free joint. The reality is that minor aches, mechanical feelings, and limitations remain. Incomplete Pain Relief: Up to 15% to 33% of patients continue to experience some level of chronic pain or stiffness after the surgery. Unprepared for Rehabilitation: Knee replacements require a rigorous, demanding physical therapy regimen. Patients who struggle to keep up with rehabilitation often report poorer outcomes and higher regret. Premature Surgery: Patients who undergo the surgery when their arthritis symptoms are not severe enough to justify the aggressive intervention are at a much higher risk of regretting the procedure.
Supplier was out of the wood base rat snap. I ended up with a plastic rat snap. Anybody have any experience with them? I like the built in teeth, the bendy flexible pan looks bad. It didn’t seem to be tuneable.
