So what do the landowners up there charge for the small chance to shoot an elk? Probably a few thousand? The chances of shooting one on public land I'm thinking are pretty slim. Actually the success rate is extremely high. I know of a guy that paid a thousand dollars or so a few years ago, down by Millston, Wi. He succeeded quickly and it was probably still cheaper than going out west. Many farmers are so frustrated with them that i'm thinking I could find a place for ~free. That is lower than what I expected. I've figured the expenses roughly to go out west and there's no way I could justify it. It would be a minimum of 5000 to do it and to me it's not worth it. I'll stock around here and hunt whitetail instead. I do give the landowner some different things and I also give them some deersticks and brats which they like. I also will shoot does to help keep the population in check. That's what they want and I'm happy to do it.

Took dog and cat to the vet Thursday. He gave the cat its vaccinations in each butt cheek. Dog got one in the butt cheek, other in front shoulder. Both animals were sore as heck and terribly lethargic. Both are better today, but I have never had a pet act that way after vaccinations. Never had that issue when they received the shot in the scruff of the neck. Dog got rabies and DHLPP. Cat got rabies and FVRCP. I have been reading that these are actually every 3 year boosters, not 1 year. Thinking maybe their systems are getting overloaded with this medicine/booster. Dog is 6, cat is 10. Thats a long time and a lot of medicine if its not needed. Thoughts and opinions?

I wasn't trying to offend you or suggest you were a poor driver. Just that it won't cost much to try shifting at a slightly higher RPM. No offense taken. Given the small number of vehicles produced nowadays with standards, it would not be surprising for someone to have driven only automatics and not know when to shift a standard. Keeping the rpms up out of the range where the skip happens doesn't fix the problem but only avoids the symptom and associated annoyance. Being under warranty I want it fixed.

I can see where it may be beneficial occasionally but I'm glad we don't have to do it here. So please keep that stuff out east and down south. Thank you. Around here most of the landowners would take it as someone bothering them with the paperwork and over regulation. I've been fortunate to hunt the same land for over 40 years so I think the landowner knows me. I hope it stays that way for the awhile yet. We had it here in MI for a few years, maybe late 80’s or early 90’s until the mid-90’s. I can’t recall exactly EXCEPT it was a huge POS!!! When I walked up to a property owners front door to ask permission to trap and explained the written permission slip, all kinds of red flags went up over the property owners heads when they’ed ask “you want me to sign what, what for??” The property owners did NOT want to waste their time reading the form and most HATED SIGNING it!! It was terrible IMHO!! When I worked for MSU on the Dioxin Prj, MSU gave us permission forms made by the University for the property owners to sign, I wound up with 67 signatures I recall. Property owners were far more receptive to sign the MSU permission forms than they were previously by a lone trapper.

Terminator triggers or anything that is stainless...I know some guys that will take stick welder rods, bust the coating off and use those.
Some traps, like Belisles, just change the trigger as soon as you buy them.

The spine surgeon told me that when I could no longer tolerate the pain we would consider surgery. That was 27 years ago! Most painful thing I do all day is get out of bed! After that thing loosen up and I’m fine. Side note for younger T man members: I would suggest for long term health just to carry one deer at a time over your back for a mile out to your rig. Makes it easier to get out of bed in your old age. I’ve never carried out more than one deer at a time!! I did carry out a nice fork horn buck and two beaver one time. Only a little over 1/4 mile but I never want to do that again.

When I was growing up space was just one of those government can only do that (go into space) things. When private companies started using their capital muscle to do go to space I thought wow that is pretty cool. One night I was standing in my driveway and watched the train of Starlink satellites go overhead. That struck me as a really cool thing, I looked at that string of satellites go over me and thought wow a human being built that.
First time I rode in a Tesla I was impressed with its simplicity. Just a big screen, simple controls, and even the outside design was pretty good too. Man was that thing FAST. I could see all kinds of potential with that. I know the news was all about a fire here, or other issues. But geez what major auto manufacturer hasn’t undergone a serious recall, or had historical mechanical or crash issues, you could list the other car makers all day long if you look back through history and their problems. I thought well here is a guy trying something new and it’s like the Apple Watch, or iPod, or a cell phone, or first laptop, A whole laundry list of other inventions we all take for granted as normal today but at one time were new and cutting edge. Remember when no households had a personal computer at all? Or a cell phone? I see teslas all the time now. But at one time they were unique and turned a head when they drove by. Capitalism is the greatest thing in the world. It’s fun to watch the technology space grow today by leaps and bounds. We may (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) and moan about our country”s issues. But at least each us has the freedom to own something, buy something, work for ourselves, and maybe invent something too. Go Elon. He’s not perfect, nobody is, but way to go pushing the envelope and taking things to new levels. Jim

State of Michigan has extensively used the weevil in Michigan along with multiple roadside mowings.
Thistle grows here on the worst soils where nothing else does---particularly pure sand. Generally doesn't last on tilled ground

Yep, I steer clear of any of the salts these days. Too hard on equipment no matter how much I protected them, and there are much better freeze proof options available. Jim

It is a common occurrence when you pulverize something of a once living organic material. It is the separation of the solids to where they settle according to their mass weight. The total body mass of fish is a complex biological mixture of organs, fat, bone, scales and tissue.
The dense scales, bone and fins sink to the lower level. The oil appears to be in the next level above. The top is what I call the cream. It is the by product of the decomposition of the fish.
It is a foamy like material that is very light and fluffy. It is full of Carbon Dioxide and traces of methane which is very light in weight and escapes to the surface of the decomposing material, thus carrying some of the now "light weight" decomposition by products with it.

You can order them up to 6 feet long, and almost 3/4 inch thick from Home Depot. However, you can only order them at certain times of the year. I ordered 100 stakes that are 6 foot long to Alaska. Free ship to store!
They list many sizes and lengths to pick from.
