Is the Wyoming sale a similar format to other western sales? Sealed bid? Is there a web site with more info and past results? Thanks.

Totally agree!

As far as Alysa Liu , she's awesome!
Beautiful skating performance , and pleasing to the eye to boot!
Love her attitude and love for other skaters!
She was so great at helping the younger skater enjoy her place on the steps!
Just pure joy in her!

As far as tariffs , our country existed on nothing but tariffs until 1913 , and income tax started .
Government found all that money to exploit!
You now pay almost 50% in taxes now, add it up, sales tax, property tax, licenses , driving and plates ( taxes) gasoline taxes , you name it it's taxed!
I'm betting tariffs will reduce some taxes.
I also believe a lot of the fraud and over spending is going to be reduced!
Why do you think the left is fighting so hard to stop this President?

This to me SSS.

But the law won't let me unless it's in my home, or taking place in my presence , then saving a life supersedes it.

We had been asked to help out two Amish sheep farmers that just had a couple sheep and a goat killed by coyotes both sheep had been taken but the goat had been left tangled in the wire
The two farms were seperated by a utility road that cut thru there fields and some dense tangle it went back just about a mile to a series of ponds with a big turn-around then back up to a big manure pile just behind the first barn
I have never seen the amount of coyote sign that i was looking at ... ever.... the road was pounded up and back with track+urine so much scat that i filled a1/3 of a 4 gal bucket they were farther east of lake Erie but still had about 6 in of snow
i noticed there road was some what plowed and asked how it was being maintained and they showed me an all steel wheel tracktor with a push blade ...and said they would have no problem clearing the road i asked if they could catch about 3 ft either side of the road
hoping to be able to make sets just off the pounded road.... they mentioned that no traps were to be set on Sundays so we figured to set-up the job on Mon am
The coyotes here in WNY seem to have been paired up for quite a while already so i wanted to go into the job with a quality heated-up lure so i gave mr Jamison a call and exsplained the situation he hand selected 2 different lures and a ultra-concentrated in heat urine
which he gave me instructions on how it should all be used... Monday am came and my son and i started setting up just off the roadway it had been completely clear with both sides ripped down to the sod all ready the coyotes had marked what seemed to be every 10 ft heading back to the ponds we set 2 traps per set all walk-thrus and posts there were a few chuck holes that we utilized to get the lure deep
We had great results the 6 days we were there (with one being a 3 legged adult female )



and i know for a fact that using the in heat concentrated lures made a huge difference..... Mr Bob Jamison truly has "magic in a bottle"

Regarding "the flood"; nearly every culture around the world has the flood story. That in itself lends a lot of credibility to the story.

Just very glad your daughter is safe and sound!
Mexico is a very messed up country, nobody really knows who runs it as far as the cartels of the put in place government!

Only time I used one, was when trapping beaver , the ice was weak and melted around the lake.
Open water was about 3 foot open then ice.
Used a couple I made just for that .
Welded a foot wide u to one end for the stake end upside down, used a pipe cut about 2 inches long, welded a flat bar piece for a brake if pulled one way, but a slide the other.
A " T " at the end as a stop.
Couldn't use my normal cable or wire downer , because of the ice.
Could slide it under the ice, and push the u into the ground.
Worked like a charm.
But never used it other than that time.
Lot of crap to carry to a setting area.
I used what I had, rebar 3/4 inch.

I have a lot of old VHS film footage from my 'poor trapper' days, when I used #4 modified coil springs, all long chained.
Heavily swiveled. Held beaver by one or two toes, Why ? They never had any leverage.

Now these days, I've retired those traps and have replaced them with three styles of coil springs and one DLS.
Bridger #5's
CDR 750's
T-85's , all modified coill springs
and the (modified with PIT pans), Bridger #5's DLS.
Lots of photos over on my FB page if you're on that forum.
