The Novaks of Sheridan County, Wyoming were in the sheep camp at 10 PM on December 31, 1948. Blizzard of ’49 started. Czech-American. Dad, Mom, Babička, 3 kids — 8, 11, 14. 1,000 sheep. Wagon was 8x14. Snow 4 feet in 2 hours. -30°F. Sheep piled on the wagon. Would crush it. Kill them. Dad cut the canvas. Let 30 sheep in. Packed them. Then he got out. With the axe. Chopped a trench. In the snow. Around the wagon. 3 feet deep. Made a moat. Sheep fell in. Couldn’t pile. Mom and kids got inside. With 30 sheep. Babička, 78, sang. Kept them calm. From 10 PM to 8 AM. 10 hours. Dad stayed out. In the trench. Kept it open. Frostbite took 3 toes. At 8 AM it stopped. Wagon stood. 1,000 sheep lived. 970 outside, 30 in. Babička said “Sheep were the walls.” #WyomingHistory #BlizzardOf1949 #1948 #SheepRanchers #CzechAmerican
Somewhere on this forum, and I'm not sure which section it was under, there was mention of a coyote bait recipe with ground skunk, lightly tainted, and muskrat glands slightly aged, and it seems like maybe another ingredient or two.
I have pored over the posts in several sections, done multiple searches and cannot find it. I thought I followed the thread but there is nothing in my following file. Which odd itself because I know I've followed several threads for future reference and that file is empty. But that's another matter.
If anyone remembers that post or thread could you point toward it? I have a few skunk carcasses in the freezer and want to try them as a bait. Thank you in advance.
Looking for a set of leupold style mounts for a Weatherby Vanguard. Should be the same as 700 Rem or Howa 1500 I believe. I thought someone on here had a bunch of that stuff. Thanks
Most of these are the new style Victors with the V present. Ten traps total. Most are post pans. I do have a couple square pans (pinch pans). I would sell them for $5 apiece or would trade for silver coins, bars, bullion, rounds or old US paper currency. Buyer pays shipping. These traps are complete with good chains and strong springs. These are ready for the ground.
