Rattie, you're just too much!

LT G: Sounds like parvo-virus. Nasty. Extremely contagious for canines, and other wild animals, airborn virus, and transmissable by body fluids. Bleach will kill it. Not a problem for humans.

Best set: Folgers & donuts!

And some of my Wifes Pie...........UMMMMM Yummy...Here Lt lt lt lt........Burp!

" Memories.....like the corners of my mind
Misty, water colored memories,
of the way we were............

Scattered crab shells...of the ones we left behind....
Water melon and some sweetcorn
that's the way we were......." hahahahahaha



Yep Vinke, got me thinkin'!

OK, we got the bait, now the trap. What shall we use?

For LT? Hmmm...I'm thinking a BIG Havahart.


Think it will hold 'em?

Why use a cage trap and have to waste a bullet too. Just make a cubby and set a superbear over the entrance. Quick and humane.

Just kidding LT, you're worth a cheap bullet any day.

Cheap bullet? Don't we need a silver bullet for LT? LOL

Ver-r-r-ry funny!

Yes we have to give LT the dickens. Krusty has to get a brake sometime! LOL

Whitfield,

Truth be told, you pretty much just nailed the reason I finally started posting on this forum.

I had been a T-man member for some time, and LT was taking a beating.

He was the black sheep then, and I figured he was the one who could use a break...

And I've done quite well with that, sheesh!

Krusty

LT take a beating? LOL Surely you jest!

Ha! Really!

I saw a road killed badger, so I pulled over just to look at it.
I didn't take notice of the piece of metal sitting along the curb. Result: Flat tire!

Because of the recent storm last Sunday, I have lost power,water, phone lines and worst of all have freezers filled with fresh frozen ground fish and beaver meat. Might not get power on until Saturday...so either it gets picked up or feeds the local coyote population....I just posted it "Free to a good home" over on Trap Shed!

I walked out of the house this morning...The sun was just coming over the horizen...it was 7 am.I can hear the distant hum of a gas generator at a farm about a quarter mile away. Pretty common this last week. That and a good chainsaw are hard to even find, much less buy, in this area. There aren't any. No ice anywhere close by either. It's been 9 days since the storm hit...lost power, phone line and water preasure...even had a large tree go through the roof and a good bit of damage to many other trees here. The whole area got hammered pretty good. It could have been a lot worst...and I know it. At least it didn't rain much or I'd have had a flooded basement, furnace and all....You can always rebuild. These things can be replaced in time. Some things can not.

Somehow, in the mist of things, the 18th of September passed without me noticing it...

It's been 21 years since she's been gone
She'd be 25 now


Well, I've got muskrat traps to check. At $50. a piece, on a damage complaint, things might be just looking up.

With things a bit slow these days, I decided to work on a box of #2 round jaw Montomerys I hadn't used in a few years. These were all reworked by J.C. Conner back around 1992. All 4 coiled, laminated jaws, base plated etc. Being it was late and with the lighting, my eye sight is not the greatest on small objects, which in this case was the notch I was filing on the pan. After setting it, it misfired catching me across the tip of my finger and had my hand across it so I couldn't reach the lever. Not able to get free, I set it on the ground, flipped it around and used my foot and other hand to open up the trap.
So, in I go to grab an ice pack from the freezer.....Well about then the feeling starts back....and of course this morning, a swollen finger which looks like a tree frog and a blackish nail to match....could have done without that! Maybe I'll just stick to snaring for a while....

OUCH!!!
