How do you tell if urine has gone bad?

I have some coyote urine from last year. I didn’t freeze it. It was left in an old cooler all spring, summer and fall. I think it smells like urine with just a hint of poop when I squirted it.

Do you think it is bad?

I am looking for some DakotaLine High Water Muskrat Lure. Let me know what you have and how much you want with shipping to Fargo ND. I might even consider partial jars if the price is right.

Help with setting up, lotting in during the day were Chad Thede, Peter Fritzell, Dave Phipps, Calvin Barber, Curtis Barber, Allyson Oser, Matt Fox, Dwaine Knouse, RJ Barclay, and Randy Porsch. Bret Smith was our auctioneer, Nat Hill, Cody Hutton & Tony Evans clerked. Dan Roberts, Kristie Lambert & Tim Roberts oversaw the food area. Vendor was Backwater Baits – Bruce Rhoads and Sleepy Creek Tannery accepted fur to be tanned. I also need to thank Justin Deaver for setting up video to live stream the auction on our ITA YouTube channel and doing a raccoon fleshing demo onsite. Lonnie Archer once again donated a very nice blanket made with pictures taken during the 2025 fur auction. The blanket was auctioned to Roger Hutton with proceeds being donated to the ITA, thank you Lonnie for your generous donation!!!
We had 13 buyers, 32 sellers with 279 lots of fur. Symbol’s are as follows – “F” finished fur, “G” green fur and “C” for carcass animals. We had carcass otter, bobcat, badger, skunk, odd colored raccoon, opossum and squirrel. Below are the results.

I've been handloading for over 40 years and try to sell surplus tools and
components every few years to keep my shelves from falling down.
Its time to list some bullets and see if there is any interest. These were
all bought when I developed hunting loads for 35REM and 30-06 SPRG.
These are all virgin material, no pulls, most boxes still factory sealed,
my price is 25% less than current market (Midway USA, etc.) if you can
even find them in stock. I am seeing the copper bullet prices increase
~24% whenever raw mfg stock is purchased, due to commodity market
and tariffs, so this is probably your last chance to buy cheaply.....

pay shipping (to the Lower-48) for that buyer, only. I will not agree to sell broken
lots until I give this listing a week or so, to be seen by a full-lot buyer. If you state
interest in a small lot, I will make a note of that and you will be contacted later
If I need to sell these in small lots. I am cross-posting this on other websites
where my components usually sell quickly.

I just finished watching a live town hall on Youtube with Scott Bessent and a federal lawyer. Took place in Minneapolis.

Could'nt copy and paste because it was still live. Anyone interested can go to the Alpha News Youtube channel and find it there.

Maybe some other state besides Illinois will eventually have the distinction of having a former Governor go to prison.

Looking for pieces or take offs of #2 or #3 twin loop trap chain, such as might come on a #1 long spring or a 110/120, that you want to get rid of. Figured I would check before buying new. Send me a message with what you have and price.

Thanks!

I got a bunch of bulletboxes traps from the Texas Trappers association and have decided to use them for fundraising here. I had tags made for them and they all come with chain and drags. The price on these will be 35.00 shipped. The Texas Trappers Association will receive 12.50 per trap sold and the trapperman defense fund and Discretionary fund will split the other 12.50. 10.00 will go towards shipping and anything over that I will cover.
