:P Went to check traps this morning and it was 59°...broke into a sweat with no problem. But what I thought would have been a night for critters to be moving, I came up with zilch :-[ Creek is up and I have traps under 6-10 inches of water, but my fox and DPs came up empty. ??? checked the mud since the snow is gone and there were no tracks, it was like the critters didn't move at all last night. :( I don't like this weather >:(
-
It destroyed my line also haven't caught anything but a coon this week. Well we will get to dig em all up and reset so the don't freeze to the ground now, Ohhh the joys of Trapping. Good Luck.
:)
-
At least we can put away snow camp for now :P
-
I just walked the puppy and the yard was loaded with nightcrawlers.
-
:( :( NO TRACKS :o :o :( :( Did you get down on your knees and put your ear to the ground?? ::) That's an old Indian trick to see if you can hear them moving ::) ::).. Works great when there aren't any tracks but you know their,there... ;D ;D ;D Hope this little tip helps ;) ;).... 8)....

Goose, I watched the weather and figured I would set this week after warm front moved in and snow melted.
Saturday morning I was scouting, re-baiting bait stations and pre-digging trap beds.
Then went to a fur buyer Saturday afternoon.
When returning home I saw a fella setting up a crick. My first thoughts were...Your sets are going to be under water in the morning. Sunday morning we had no snow on the property due to melt off. (other than the piles next to driveway)
Call me lucky or lazy, but am setting this week.
-
jsapr1 I'm figuring you tried the olde Indian trick :P and one of those night crawlers done crawled in your ear :-[ and is still tickle'n your brain ;D ;D ;D
-
Hern...it wasn't me but some dummy (me) did put a few out (6) :( and they were 6 inches under yesterday..well 4 traps anyway to 150's and 2 11/2 mink traps..2 dp's were ok.....I'm on a learning and relearning curve here, rusty but enjoying it........GOOSE..that's it!!!! >:( >:( >:( >:( no more help from me,your sounding like my wife who never takes me seriously... :o :o :o You have to do that little indian thing around 2am in the morning so all the background noise isn't there... ;)....I was out there night before last and when I came in Missy snottily asked "Did You Hear anything...nut job???" ::) ::) Well I did... :P she said it was the train going through the crossing at Perdix.... ??? ???...when I went to check my traps I had 1 sprung at my coyote/fox set next door.. :'( :'( so there ...non-believers, :P :P.... 8)....BTW: I think I heard a BEAVER splashing around (never Caught one of those) stand-by for Thursday Pic....or not... ;) ;)...lol

Past week the full moon and cold temps made trapping tough!
On the warm days I did catch coon and fox!
Like those dogless cuffs for coon. Caught three with the cuffs.
So far this year 2 of my fox had mange! I was getting $40 for my fox, then $25. Today's fox I got $20 for. It was full of briars! Doing well on calling and trapping!
I know of a fellow trapper/hunter who lost a fox caught in a trap,
This predator hunter shot the fox in the head. Ok this happens!! But you leave the critter you don't take it as your kill. Lets not be slob sportspersons!!!! :( :(
-
:( :( :( And then it rained again, gonna borrow jaspr1's scuba suit to find my water sets tomorrow :P If it keeps this up I'll be able to use my canoe to cross the field and check my fox traps :P :P Don't fool with mother nature!! ;) ;)
-
Perdix!!! You may be my father!

Pulled my couple beaver sets out Saturday morning. Had to smash thru 3 inches of ice with my hammer just to getem. Temperature said 1 degree in my truck. It was actually warmer in the water. Most dangerous situation I have been in for a long time.

Speak'n of mowers...... I try to run mine every 4 to 6 weeks during the winter. That crap we are forced to use and they call gasoline(more like corn sqeezen's) can really play havoc with small engines. Been use'n Star Tron for the last few years and so far so good. (Stupid proof...can't overdose it) ;)
note~ Don't run them to long if'n there's no snow covering the grass. The grass will here them run'n and start to grow like crazy. :o :o ;D ;D
-
8) 8) 8) Is that what I did wrong ??? ??? ??? Bailing hay in the middle of winter ::) ::) ::)
-
Longhair,we sell a lot of star tron at garage,seems to be one of the best additives for small engines,it's amazing what happens to carburetors if you let em set without it..
-
Ought to see the looks on peoples faces when, in the middle of winter, I'm run'n my zero turn in the park'n lot next door. :o :o But in the spring, while they are take'n their stuff to the shop, I'm zoooooooooooom'n.
One of my hangouts is the small engine shop.
Note~the owner tried to overdose with it and no ill effects was noted.(hoses,gaskets,etc.) 8) 8)
I run it in everything from cars to weedwackers. ;) 8) (all year long)
Also use octane boost for the small engines. I saw what happens when you use reg grade gas(87 octane) in weedwackers. Voids warranty. >:( Higher octane extends the life of the machine. Don't quite understand it but I've seen it. At the shop, a quick taredown, and they can tell what kind of grade of gas you have been using. ;)
-
Longtail...speaking of gas ::) ::) ::) ::) you been eating beans again :o :o :o :o those thar jumpin beans :-\ :-\ :-\ could be quite an explosion :o :o :o :o :o :o high octane to boot!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

You know ::) in case he ends up in a tree.... ;) P100x's rocket fuel..............I made the mistake of getting the snowblower across the street going :) he let it sit with skunk p in it.... >:( What do I owe you? ??? Nothing just don't tell anybody ;) Big mouth goes and blabs >:( >:( Elderly Lady down on the next street calls my wife and wonders if I can please take a look at her's :P :P :P :P :P If I had a warm place to work it wouldn't be so bad :-\ Working in the end of a garage, no heat,out of a mobile tool bag,poor light, and she says " I don't think it's been run for four or five years.. :o :o Well I got it running but it's less than smooth >:( Told her to take it to this small engine shop I know of and have them overhaul the whole machine :D My wife said "you should open your own shop".... :( :( I said "you should move" ::) neither one is going to happen soon... :( >:( :( >:( :( >:(.... 8)

Jaspr1,I hate to say this ::) but your wife might be onto something,my neighbor just payed 125.00 to have carb cleaned and a new spark plug installed at a shop in Altoona.I ask him if he was sure they didn't rebuild it,he said no,just cleaned all the white powder out of it from ethinol.Boy if ya do 2-3 of them a day!!

-
Have'n a pick'um up truck or too much mechanical knowledge can lead to unexpected consequences. I take my small engine stuff to the shop to get it fixed, he listens to it, throws me the parts and says "there's the tools". :o Usually leads to buy'n lunch tough. :D
note~ 125.00 for carb job.....@60.00 an hour for labor plus parts.....it's in the range. ;)

I might add...
Is anyone Beaver trapping?
I'm not.
I am waiting till the thaw cause I aint cutting ice on ponds or going on the Susquehanna until ice out.
Not mad at the Beavers this year.
Is anyone calling Coyote? March is a good month for that.

My plans are to do some calling once this stuff quits falling from the sky :( :( :( we have a dustin this morning and it's still coming down :( :( :( The beaver I was watching for activity musta moved on :-\ :-\ :-\ he cut a couple of trees and now no sign... :P :P :P

The beaver I was watching for activity musta moved on
Is it under ice? Probably still there if under ice.
Goose, we may have a small window to chase Beaver this month.
We could write an article...What shall we title it?
'Last chance Beaver'
'Backwater Beaver'
'Open water Beaver'
'Under Ice Beaver'
'Thin Ice Beaver'
'March Beaver Fever'
???

Ya know,when I first started/learning how to trap beaver,I talked to an old trapper about how to go about it,we'll anyway some were in the conversation he told me to watch out for beaver fleas,I thought ya right beaver don't have fleas they spend to much time in the water to have fleas,I think it was my 4 or 5th one I caught I had it over my shoulder carrying it back to truck,I kept feeling something crawling on the back of my neck.When I got back to the truck I threw it on the endgame while I took my hip boots off,I happened to look at that beaver and it was polluted with fleas :oThere I thought he was just screwing with me,I was itchin the whole way home! ;D

...you got buds on the trees already,we don't.
and Blue Sky...that would be nice
Talking about chopping ice...
Do you know how to catch a Bear?
Chop a hole in the ice
Put some Peas around the hole
When the Bear bends down to take a Pea
Kick him in the ice hole

24 degree's this morning ;D While checking the few traps I have out,I ran across something a little unusual ??? There was a squirrel with it's chest area (lungs) eaten out,right next to one of my DP's. DP was untouched....anyone out there, what do you think? ::) I was thinking maybe a mink or weasel ??? but when I think I usually get into trouble ::) ::) ::)................... 8)
-
Any squirrel hair or blood around or was it just lying there half eaten? May have been a bird of prey just dropped it (crow, hawk or owl). Hard to say.
-
:) Just lying there,out in the open ??? tallest thing around was marsh grass............ 8)
-
;D ;D ;D Ya know I could be a smart a$$ and say he laughed so hard at your set he blew up due to back pressure :o :o :o :o
-
Paul, I have no clue. Another trapline mystery.
This afternoon, I traveling a tractor path through a corn field.
Farmer was picking corn in this field. A dead Rabbit laid on the two track. I stopped and it had a small hole in it's side. Enough hair laying on ground that it looked like it was pecked by a Crow. Rabbit was fresh. My thoughts were the Corn picker killed it somehow without any noticeable damage (maybe the small hole in it's side). Another mystery in the middle of no where land...
-
;D ;D GOOSE....have no delusions ::) you already are a smart A$$ :o ...............but since you don't have any archery deer stories to boast about ??? I guess you will take it out on me :( :( :(.......I'm just patiently waiting for December 26th.. ;)................................... 8)................Almost forgot...started off the season right where I left off..1 family sized grinner....lol..........then 1 maybe 2x raccoon.....
-
;D ;D ;D Well I finally put some steel out yesterday 8) 8) 8) We will see if I'm in competition with you on grinners this mornin or Mr. Stinkys......yea, I put out for fox ??? ??? ???....4 wheeler makes traversing the farm a whole lot quicker.... :o :o :o
-
:( :( :( 15° on the farm riding the 4 wheeler was a tad cool checking traps....I came up empty this morn :-\ :-\ :-\ I imagine jaspr1 came up with a full line :o :o :o....a line anyway ::) ::) ::)
-
Around noon today, my son, Kyle, and I were at the same farm I found a dead Rabbit yesterday.
We drove out the corn stubbles to set a few more traps in the field that was picked yesterday.
I saw a dark thing ahead and said, 'That's the biggest rock I ever saw in this river bottom.'
Kyle said, 'It's a Deer! A dead Deer!
Very nice 7-point with wide spread and long tines (1 fresh broken tine). Back end was eaten a little bit. We examined and could not see any tell tale sign of death. This field is between a highway and railroad tracks so we assumed it was hit by vehicle or train. We hightailed it back to farmer's shed and told him about it. He ask if we would drag it to the corner of the field. I told him I can do that and I had a strap in the pickup. He said his brother would want to cut the horns off.
Seemed odd, not a mark on the Deer or no broken legs other than a fresh broken tine.
-
One sure way to get a better idea would be to skin him and get a look see for signs of trauma! ;)
-
??? ??? ??? Hern, between you and Paul....I'm beginning to wonder about your trapping areas.. :-\ :-\ :-\ Don't be findin any human bodies!! :( :( :(

Maybe he way rutting and chasing the doe's that hard he gave himself a heart attack.

Foxhound, you are right. But am running a trapline and don't have time to investigate.

Today was the only day this week it didn't snow in Snyder County.
My brother use to live in Maine. I ask if he had much snow. His reply, ' it only snow twice this week, one time for 4 days the other time for 3 days.'

It's kinda funny see'n the folks blow'n or try'n to blow an inch of snow with those blowers that they bought. ;D ;D ;D
I just got the snow shovel out the other day........I think I'll put it back in the garage. :P :P :P
-
;D ;D ;D ;D By all means Longtail....put that thar shovel away...we don't want you to over exert yourself that's why we get the storms to bend around where you reside.. :P :P :P :P :P :P ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)
-
I got my wife a new snow shovel and boots for Christmas.
With an inch or two she can put the two shovels (old & new) side by side and push a wider swat in the driveway. Saturday and today it was too deep for the double shovel push.

;D ;D ;D ;D And I bet you were inside in the warm with a cup of coffee supervising..... ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) jaspr1 and I have CEOs that don't allow such shenanigans :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ we'ns hafta tow the line or were not allowed out to play :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\
-
This has the making of some good red fox hunting... figure low snow accumulation and some serious bulb squeaking is all you will need.. lets hope the wind gust don't come up in Pa. I guess I will get out with the shovel in a bit.. no sense firing up the snow blower for this... by the time I get it ready I'd be half done...
-
:( :( :( Someone forgot to tell the storm to head north ??? ??? ??? ??? It's been dumping some serious snow here for the past couple of hours... :P :P :P :P :P

;D Goose don't be lumping me in with you >:( >:( I run the show around here ::) ::) Ranking just under Hern, in control ;D but no where near UB :( UB is going fox hunting and has a snarling Red fox head in the bedroom :o (he had a post several years back) ;) puts the little woman in the mood.... LOL .... ::) Not many can say that :( maybe Buckwheat ;) but he's the silent type and we'll have to guess :P 6 years ago he was working on a fur coat for his wife :D never heard how that turned out :( :( . Anyway back to the weather ;D I told the wife she could put her broom away :o cause it was just a snow shower here... :P :P :P :P :P................ 8).....PS: Get well and thinking of you cards can be sent in care of Holy Spirit ER where I am currently in traction for an incident at home over a broom...

Ya those Perry coyotes do that to me all the time.. You know with the sub zero temps might be a goodtime to call them in and open the top window on a barn.. However don't fall off the rafters or outside the window..
I had one two weeks ago... I tried to do everything right... Crosswind toward the barn. what does the coyote do come to my calling and enters the sight picture in between the barn and the farmers shed... Make sure you throw a little or do a little prey sound into your chain yanking this week end.. Oh about 1 min of it and then do the coyote talk...but plenty of silence in between...I'm sure brother Tom will be calling in Perry!!!
-
ya Know? WB Slang! :) I think I need to get some camo that looks like a farmers shed... a pattern is developing big time for me...The logic is that I need to get away from the barns. however to walk out into the fields farther means 0 coyotes...Wish some of my prime coyote calling areas were along railroad tracks... They are not.. I can scoot out to the field when the train is rambling by... Hey I have done that already and have killed predators doing that... use them sounds all around you.. However barking dogs...Well come back to that farm after the farmer or people take them inside... Coyotes know ole DOMESTACUS Saved their life..

Goose I sure understand I had to go in the house twice today to add more ice to my frozen margarita. Picture of our front yard apple tree. I would show some pictures of the backyard but I would not want any of you to really get disenfranchised with us cowboys. Please note - no grass to cut.

One other thing, we buy NOTHING from south of our border. However your friend in the WH is importing a lot of illegals. We will make an effort to ship them northeast to our liberal friends in PA. ;D

Should have also added we don't need to cut holes in the ice to go fishing :P

I'm loving this weather !!!

This years winter weather really is tough on the wildlife.
Fluffy snow, soft snow, the Deer are all over, even next to our house eating the shrubs and hitting the Bird feeders. This morning, snow is frozen again and no signs of Deer around our house except for the Deer feeder out back, that gets hit every night. Hard snow makes travel tough for Deer. It's colder than a Witch's heart this morning.
We live near homes but in a township. The fresh, fluffy snow Saturday morning revealed a Red Fox track across our front stoop and across our parking area. Another Red Fox track in the backyard. Last night around 9:30pm I had my Carnivore 5 and looked out the back door for Deer. A Grey Fox was 24' away near a bird feed where the Rabbit feed each night.
When wildlife is getting close to homes, it's tough conditions out there...
-
>:( >:( >:( We hit the high for the day when I got up this morning 34° ??? ??? ??? temps are down to 28° now with a pretty good wind blowing :-\ :-\ :-\

Perfect for Coyote hunting Saturday. Get out there.
All water is froze around here, some small, open pools exist but are filled with local Ducks or Geese.
Maybe we can put a string of 40 degrees days together so the ice disappears and we can get a few Beavers trapped? (hey, this a trapping page)

Pa goose is a tough man. I remember years back talking to him at the base credit union about the JS Preymaster. I tried to lay some wisdom on him. He got that look on his face that said this: "Don't Call Me Boy! " BOY!" I think he was one of those aircraft carrier sailors? He should have been what Coyotejohn was!

I think I'm going to get me an The Enigma Device to break the code when people use this in their post! :) ;) :D ;D >:( :( :o 8) ??? ::) :P :-[ :-X :-\ :-* :'(. I need to learn everything possible from these post and only an The Enigma Device can break the code..
Wondering if I will be able to run that snow blower just one more time to remove snow or will I have to remove the remaining gas by letting her run out or dumping it.. Notice this morning it was a brisk 35 degrees..
I did notice that their is a big gun show over at the Farm show building in Harrisburg on Saturday and Sunday...I'm going to be helping a landowner post their land Saturday..Something...how people just going on land without asking are the culprits that cause people not to be able to fish and or hunt on lands..
I have been predator hunting on one other farm for about 15 years now.. They won't allow me to fish in their pond because if people see me fishing in the pond their driveway is filled with other fisherperson trying to gain entry to fish the pond also.. Ah the negative ripple effect. the old farmer lady just gets burned out answering the door again and again and again. So no fishing what so ever because of negative trigger it causes of her being bothered by human activity..
-
;D ;D ;D ;D UB that code is SECRET just as some of your calling sounds are....jaspr1 knows all in this area :o :o :o :o :o :o maybe you can strike a deal with jaspr1 and you two can do some trading ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)
-
uncle buck......no need to dump the gas in the snow blower just add some sta-bil to the gas... mix it around a little... start it and let it run for a little.... store it away and you will be fine for next winter. I use it and I have had no problem starting the next winter.

Heck dale go to Va you can get 12 bobcat there and 6 deer for about $184.00. A lot of public land to hunt to like the George Washington National Forest...
-
I can kill all the cats I want here, no limit, and 6 deer... I want to shoot some ground grizz, miss that the most, and then spend some time up in Union and Clearfield Counties for deer etc...
if I was gonna hunt in VA, I have family all up and down the Shenandoah Valley, don't need to hunt public ground...

Time to say goodbye to old man winter, wave with the finners you deem nessasary. Dale when it's time to hunt central pa ground grizz, white tail give a yell.

hey Ernie, as Jasper said on another post I couldn't get my phone to hook up on the PPHA site while I was up in PA... not sure what the problem was other then poor internet access... will try to get up with you next trip, end of July into early Aug...
I made this a quick trip, was only up a week and 1/2, damn rain... when I saw a gap in the rain on both ends, PA and NC I broke and ran, right into going on 3 weeks of high heat advisories, been in the mid to high 90's with heat index over 100 everyday... beginning to think Hawaii may be the place for me, the big island, Oahu is way to small... 8)

You two hooligans have nothing better to do than pick on my perfectly comfortable lifestyle. I'll have you know that I went up to Halifax yesterday to Lake Tobias and was feeding elk and other exotic animals right out of my hand. People there thought I was Jeremiah Johnson. As far as getting the yellow rattlesnake this year its still a maybe. If I could just get the great snake charmer Looking4fur to trick a few snakes with his Pied Piper calling method down to the truck it could still be a great year for a great Yellow Evil Bora Conda snake to end up in my truck.
As far as staying in shape just keeping the bird feeder full and fishing along with doing some of the hair brained ideas I come up daily with is enough for any hillbilly.
So you two slackers only have good fingers for typing and are losing your outdoor skills. Think I will go to the range and shoot my new gun today. You two hooligans should try some hunting and fishing sometimes.You two guys need any help tying on a hook or shooting skills give me a call. Be glad to help you two old guys out if it will get you back into the outdoors. I can just mark that as one of my good deeds for the day. It would be a nice change on good deeds, helping old lady's cross the street on Friday is booked. Any other day if you guys need help should good this week.

So you two slackers only have good fingers for typing and are losing your outdoor skills. Think I will go to the range and shoot my new gun today. You two hooligans should try some hunting and fishing sometimes.You two guys need any help tying on a hook or shooting skills give me a call. Be glad to help you two old guys out if it will get you back into the outdoors. I can just mark that as one of my good deeds for the day. It would be a nice change on good deeds, helping old lady's cross the street on Friday is booked. Any other day if you guys need help should good this week.

Goose,
Sister lives across the road from us, called and said a tree just fell in her yard. 4pm today, no wind, no storm. Just decide to snap off at weak, rotted spot.
Good size wild Cherry, broke off about 12' from the ground.
No damage to her home or sheds. Fell perfect on the lawn.
I will clean it up tomorrow. Oh well, more camp wood.

Buckwheat says-
I'll have you know that I went up to Halifax yesterday to Lake Tobias and was feeding elk and other exotic animals right out of my hand.
Buckwheat, Wife and I went with some family members today to Lake Tobias. Nice weather and nice breeze. We really enjoyed ourselves. Very nice place, lots to see, good show in Reptile building and critters eating out of our hand on the Safari Ride was neat.
On the ride home (I didn't tell anyone of my route) we took the Millersburg Ferry. We enjoyed that too.
-
;D ;D ;D Hern, did you serenade them going over the water?? :o :o :o 8) 8) 8)

On the ride home (I didn't tell anyone of my route) we took the Millersburg Ferry. We enjoyed that too.

Goose, got a call at 4:30am this morning. Lady said, 'There is a Skunk in your trap, you got him'.
Just set 9 Groundhog holes, with 160's around neighbors Sweet Corn field. He said they were getting his Corn. The second spot, hole, was in a briar patch. I stumbled, fell and was wrapped in briars. Wished I was wearing a coat or long sleeve shirt. I think my hat is still in there.
Gotta mow the lawn when the dew dries, I can't see the grandkids out there.
Then I'll hit the Gatorade and Air Conditioning. May take the wife for a dip in Penns Creek's hiney hole this evening if it gets too hot.
-
;D ;D ;D Saw a roadkill skunk today that was all black except for the tip of it's tail :P :P :P :P My grass is just about all brown ??? ??? ??? ???....no mowing here for awhile ::) ::) ::) ::)
-
I have all of these things in the garden.. Had a problem with two chucks... Never more... Skunks seem to be coming through the yard from point A to Point B.. I took care of one of them too..However it's not never more with them...People that are feeding feral cats in the neighborhood.. The skunks find out where and they travel from Point A to Point B...Hey they aren't eating any of the plants...So have at it skunks in your travels.. Will even let the holes open under the fence since they just dig them back out anyway... People... thinking they are helping by feeding these cats that our township places back into the environment.. Something.. Things are getting bad in this here America... What we need here is a pack of coyotes to come in and take care of all the feral cats that the township are saying that have to be released...Now get this... same MO on how it starts... An old lady started feeding cats.... The cat even knocked down a lamp in her house and her house burned down...So looks like she wasn't there to feed all of her cats.. So they start going all over the neighborhood. I would like to find out when my township has a meeting open to the public and tell them they could be starting a Rabies epidemic if one of these skunks tears into one of the cats..."Not All Local Government Are Created Equal!" They are doing things just so they don't piss people off... The cats are destroying a lot of the plants now... Sleeping in the garden. Under them..

Make sure yall locate D Clearance area at Wallyworld.. They have those shooting lights that you slide on the rail of hand guns and AR regular $50 for $25. I was there in Mech yesterday and they had two left..They shoot out two colors of red light and then if you hold the button down it shoots out a bright lite... Rigged properly you can put one anywhere... ON the scope, on a shotgun barrel, on the bill of your cap, but i'm going to use mine on E. Wilson shooting rest... I got a device from his equipment stash that allows me to mount lights on the side of the shooting rest arm..One or two clicks of the red and I can hide behind that red light at waist level.. Going to check with Ernest and get two of his light holders that allow to use the AR lights on a scope and one that it appears you can slide it on the shotgun barrel too...

after noon today we saw the first substantial amount of sunshine since Wednesday last week... checked the rain gauge on the deck, was 3 ¾" all in all... but then it got hot and humid so it still sucked... I heard ya'll were supposed to be getting what we have had, time to hunker down and try to stay dry...

guess I spoke to soon, rain again over the night and clouded up today again...

Rain...There were times I felt like the Little Dutch Boy with my thumb stuck in the dike to prevent flooding. Seemed no matter what I did I just couldn't defeat oh maybe a bucket of water entering the basement when the rains were at 3 inches or more...I even cleaned the neighbors gutters out and attached a spare bleed off hose I had laying around to the far neighbors rain pipe. Thinking it was also their water I was getting... I applied water proofing mortar to the vunerable wall then painted it with that water proofing paint applying three coats to the water proofed surface... The end result was there I was with a Squiggey pushing the water toward my train in the laundry room.. Using the shopvac to get her dry etc etc etc.... :(
Last year I got the entire driveway torn up and we found that in the area where water was coming in... The contractor probably from 1959 didn't put stone under the asphalt. So got that done and resurfaced... Things improved but during real heavy rains I would still get that water in the basement..
This year as advised I got two coats of black top put in the last year new asphalt... I took the black top in a tube and sealed where the concrete side walk met the asphalt.. Then my lower patio which is concrete.. I painted that with a new type BEAR deck sealer for concrete. I did notice holes there where we removed an old shed years back from the original owner... I made sure all those holes were sealed. I used plenty of that paint to cover that concrete slab...Finally I replaced a section of the house that the water came in with larger gutter... Not the standard size the 6 inch heavy wide gutter. Then I took some of that AS SEEN ON TV water proofing black spray and spray all along the area where the house meet the driveway. By George all the stuff I did worked...I really think what helped was putting a larger gutter on that vunerable side of the house and splash guards that make the water coming down from the roof fall into the large gutter.. No water in the basement since all of this has been done... Wow it rained hard here last night and the DIKE HELD!!!!
-
I also tried to keep neighbors leaves out of my gutters... However many of the culprit neighbor trees has since been cut down... However during heavy rain the leaf guards would channel heavy water right over the gutter like a water fall... I removed everyone of them... I'm still young enough to climb up on a ladder and remove leaves should they accumulate.. I had a repairman in the neighborhood put up standard gutters in 2009.. He put the splash guards on the inside of the gutter.???????Think about it the rain would hit that and shoot it over the gutter on too the driveway below...That is where when you have other people do things for you, you make their mistakes. On the 6 inch gutter I placed the splash guard on the outside so if the rain comes off that angle of the roof slope hard it hits the splash guard and goes into the 6 inch gutter.... All of the

I hope it doesn't get much worst! Stay safe!

:o :o :o WOW GFish...at that rate you will have cottonmouths wanting to take up residence at your place just to stay above water.... :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[
-
the water in the yard has gotten as high as it can go as it's accessed a low ditch across the yard and into the big ditch on the right side of the patch, to drain off into the river...
cotton mouths and copper heads are always prone to be around here... we even have a few of the cotton headed rattle mambas that Jasper has alluded to in the recent past... 8)

;D ;D ;D ;D Dale just think if that would have been all snow :o :o :o :o :o

;D ;D I would NEVER BS ;D ;D that is painful to read :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(...................The Meskwaki (sometimes spelled Mesquakie) are a Native American people often known to Anglo-Americans as the Fox tribe. They have been closely linked to the Sauk people of the same language family. In the Meskwaki language, the Meskwaki call themselves Meshkwahkihaki, which means "the Red-Earths," related to their creation story. Historically their homelands were in the Great Lakes region. The tribe coalesced in the St. Lawrence River Valley in present-day Ontario. >:( >:( BS my BUDS >:( >:( shame on you... :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P........... 8) I guess you were thinking I was BS'ing you the time I told you to put your ear to the ground to see if the FUR was moving????

Just to let you sissy trappers that get cold hands when catching one marsh rat or get cold at just getting out of the truck to look a set. Un like four wheeler trappers and road driving trappers. I only set back far enough were only men go and trap. This is how a real trapper gets it done! I jump out of bed at 5 am made breakfast out side on the grill. Took a little longer cook time because of the wind but that is fine i have all day. Then after a great breakfast I went out to the shed fumbled around finding stuff and untangle my traps useing only using my flash light and put new readable trap tags on the ones I decide to take along after these wily mink. I never tried to get too fancy you know with lights and all that stuff city folk need in there shed. I am just hoping this nice weather keeps the raccoons in there dens and out of my traps. Even though I keep these mink leg hold sets pretty much coon proof anyways, you just never know. After I sat along the river just looking at a duck hunting spot I hunted when I was a kid. Then it was time for me too head home and just sharpen my knife and make supper and wait. That's how a real trapper does it.
-
Good luck tough guy.
I like trapping out of the truck or calling on stand for 15-20 minutes in cold weather. Am getting soft.

Real trappers like "Hern" don't namby pamby around grilling breakfast :P When they get to the 1st trap they eat the critter raw :o 3. You don't go anywhere without your "Carnivore headlamp" cause your scared of the dark...I asked your brother ::) he said your a little weenie... :P Come back next year with a better ;D more believable TALE!! :P :P :P :P :P :P :P............... 8)

Going to be a good year to set cable restraints... Just might make it through the 3 weeks I set them without any large snow falls.. I don't mind the snow and they do work in them but wow what a gift to be able to use the restraints in nice weather.. Also I do know they are meant to work in bad weather too...
-
??? ??? ??? Goose what do you think has happened to "Jumper Wilson"? ??? ??? ??? You don't think he tried to actually jump off of something ::) in all this rain :P and has broken his Keester! :o ........ 8) Check out this link ::) pops-wm.com

Jasper
Topic global warming. Thanks for your concern about my keister but it is find, a little sore from sliding down mountains checking my long trap line.
But the reason I have not been on the boards is I have been living in the woods for the last couple of days studying the affects of the El Nino has on trap lines. This weather change could play havoc for the non professional trappers. I have no solid information to report on yet but have a note book full of information that needs compiled. Currently traps continue to remained empty during this El Nino but as soon as I figure it out I am sure I will be busy skinning fur.
-
;D ;D ;D ;D Jaspr1...that's what buckcheat has been doin.."El Nino"....here he thought that was a new sombrero hat dance :o :o :o thus he tried it out only to slide down the mountain :P :P :P :P :P Folks up there thought BigFlipper was on the loose!! ??? ??? ??? ??? ???
-
here I sit Christmas eve, and friggen thunderstorms are rollin through... what's up with this weather?...
-
;D ;D "Goose" ;D ;D I like to think of us as the Hawaii 5 "O" of the PPHA :o Don't you find it just a little funny ::) that "Buckcheat" is slip sliding his way around the mountains :P at the same exact time his STAR student "Lookn4Fishers" is "who knows where?????" NO pictures,NO story,NO lame excuse :( I think we need to dig deeper ::) I would never "bet" on anything :P except you cleaning your plate at breakfast ;D ;D But I bet he's trying to distract us and take some heat off his "pet"......you know how kids are ::) when they don't want to face the music :P they try to end around you :o :o :o.............I can hardly wait to utter "Book-UM- Danno Goose"........lol........POP's McGarrett........ 8)

:( :( :( GFish thank goodness at least you have been spared from those twisters ??? ??? ???

-
Pa Goosebumps
Part of my El Nino study is how the effects of these earthworms that are out all the time this year1 in December may affect mink movement.
-
;D ;D ;D ;D LOL-LOL-LOL Good lucky with that ??? ??? ??? ??? maybe you can git a Gubberment grant for that too :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X :-X
-
ill be setting restraints on Saturday,, However I think our men flint are going to have rains for days...Like when it rains and set restraints it washes the scent away.. Wow do I ever catch critters then~~~~
-
had another sleepless night, got to bed at 7:30 this morning... that's what happens when I take Oxy to late in the evening, acts like speed to me... just happened to look at the thermometer it was 71°, those are summer time temps...
walked out on the deck this evening to fire up the grill and there was a tree frog out... I guess they're cornfused too...
when we do get twisters down here on the coast, they never seem to amount to much... it seems like they'll touch down and jump right back up, maybe a ½ mile or so, and not that powerful, normally only a class 1... we don't usually get them big rip roaring tear everything up for miles like they do out west...
-
:( :( :( Trees are budding and our tulips are up about an inch :P :P :P :P :P not good, not good, cause I know it's gonna get cold and nip them :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ I even saw a squirrel putting on suntan lotion today ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)

:-[ :-[ :-[ Hey "Jumper" maybe I can help you with your mink study ;) ;) This morning while sucking down coffee and chocolate chip cookies ::) I observed what was either a mink or a very small fisher cat ::) under the cover of fog :P attempting to snag a robin :o as it was removing earthworms from my driveway :P :P :P........so from this I would say ;) that earthworms are causing mink movement towards driveways and changing their diets from muskrats to birdies... :o :o :o...........hope this helps ;D and you are free to redistribute this helpful info in any format you desire...... ;D ;D............ 8) PS: As a field staff member of the EWCalls Carnivore Headlamps Division,it's the least I can do to "Help You Out".....my Christmas presrnt to you! ;D
-
Jasper
Thanks for the information. I know we're there is always Robins eating earth worms. I going to jump right on that spot. I hope this fog holds on, it will give me cover to sneak in a make some sets. That way all the people that walk there dogs there will not see me. You know how goofy them dog people are.
Merry Christmas and all my field staff people are just the best help to me. It might have taken me years to put the worms, birds and the mink together.
I wish all my field staff people were as observant as you.
PS sure hope it was not a Fisher you saw though I did not get a tag. You might want to pass this information to lookn4fur so he can catch a fisher.
-
;D ;D ;D I'm bettin those minx are going nutz in this warm wet weather and all the earthworms :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ I thinx Ernesto should put a trail cam on the bumper of his jitny so he can git some film of them in his driveway ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)

See that did not hurt to say that. Worm hole king kinda sounds a little better though. But at least you are trying.
As far as a complex, to late. You have made me a mess already. Well that's what I tell my wife when she wants something done around the house. She hates you I am starting to think and she never even met you. Anyway stay warm and do not choke on your cookies that you stole from Santa.

Pa Goosebumps
You know Einstein couldn't tie his shoes or fix his hair. At least I am handsome and can slide on a pair of muck boots and alway have nice looking hair. I guess I will have to help you be more of a positive person. Jasper was always looking for the negative things and is now slowly getting to be a lot more positive forward-looking person. But still occasionally hits his head on a low hanging limb while he's going forward. But when he hits the tree now he looks up and says what a nice looking tree.
-
;D Girl Scout ;D NAH! ;) I got them from Mrs. BW ::) she sent me a card and cookies ??? and said she would really like it if I said something nice about BW :P :P She felt he was developing a complex or something :o She was "fraught with fear" that the last time he was at the "Hairdresser" the hair dryer might have surged when he had his head in it :( :( She said he came home with a nice "Perm" but he was a little scrambled :o :o So as "fragile as he is" I suggest we all combine our efforts ;) and only say nice and positive things about BW. :( :( Goose this means you 2!!!!!!!! >:( >:( >:( >:( BW if you have the strenght to read this today :( I would like to say your holding 1st place in the "1 Nasty Old Man " Contest, ;D there you go ;D ;D 1st place at something else ;D ;D ;D.................. 8)

I don't know what the temperature is outside my house. My windows are so frosted I can't even see the trees let alone that thermometer. I guess tomorrow I'm going to have to patch a hole in the roof and start the wood stove.
-
I got the cold shoulder from the wife this morning. Does that qualify to post in this stupid thread?? :o :o :o :o :o :o
-
Cold shoulder...You qualify Lookn4forgiveness.
It was 9 degrees @ 6:48 when I left our house to check traps this morning. (this is a trapping thread). I drove 8.9 miles to my first set and it was 7 degrees. It was cold outside, but I minded it more yesterday with 11 degrees and wind blowing. This morning, inside my fur shed was 28 degrees.
When I finished skun'n, I went shopping and lunch with 'the girls'.
It's warmed up to the mid-30's now, so going out to shed and finish flesh'n and boarding.
Perfect weather
-
;) ;) ;) Hern your Right on the money "Perfect weather"...I love it 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) and your response to a cold shoulder... "Lookn4forgiveness"...priceless ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Lookn4forgiveness
That is one name that might stick. Forgive Hern, think positive!
You might want to contact Hern!! He has it down!!! He can even go out to lunch with the girls even though he just stepped out of his shed after skinning some stinky coyotes and foxes. He does not need forgiveness or gets the could shoulder. Heck they probably paid for his lunch.
-
;D ;D ;D ;D Well no wonder "L$F" ::) you probably opened your Smart Mouth :P :P when you should have kept quiet :-X :-X :-X Got any teeth left for breakfast ??? ??? I can see the excuse coming already >:( not enough time to get rid of that fat lip and black eye :o :o :o..............them pureed prunes are looking pretty good right now ::) aren't they? :o :o............ 8)

I used a shovel to push snow off parking area, the driveway can melt on it's own...
A fella called this morning and said he caught a Red in a cable and ask if I would show him how to skun it.
This same guy has brought 10 Reds to me this season that he skun, balls & pecker left on, lower lip left on, A-hole left on. I told him, next time you catch one, bring it over so I can show you how to do it. That went well and he understands how to do it now. Glad he stopped in and wanted to learn. I told him, next year, you are boarding and drying your own fur...lol.
His Red this morning was a female in heat. I ask if he had more cables nearby and he said NO.
I told him to go back and hang more cables because there will be males following. He then said there were alot of other Red tracks in the snow up and down that trail. We had talked before and during the season and I schooled him about the importance of multiple cables on trails, especially mating season. He seen it first hand this morning, in fresh snow.
I shoveled snow, skun, fleshed and boarded a Red, cut a small tree down, got tractor pulled limbs over to burn pile, cut logs and stacked 'em, by then right hand, thumb & trigger finger were froze like a popsicle and called it quits for the day. Removed boots, coveralls & coat at the back door and wife said, I got the Brine ready! Darn, I forgot...am going to smoke a Salmon fillet tomorrow. So we mixed up a brine, added Salmon and in the frig till tomorrow morning.
Enjoy being retired, had other stuff to do today, but that will be for another time.
Wife is making S.O.S. today, one of my favorites. (venison dry beef)

Just got back in and am thawing out 6° on the sunny side of the mountain wind a pretty fierce wind :P :P :P :P
-
Make sure when you call in this wind you call from the wind ward side to the Lee ward side of the hill or mtn... The critters and the prey being that they are mammals will be on the side of the mtn that has less wind on it.. Telling you all of this of course as I slept to 1055 AM today why everyone was frezzing their tail off.. Remember use a sound that will carry in the wind... I always like the Jack Rabbit Distress on somewhat windy days... PS when I do hunt and it's windy ... I do get critters by practicing what I preach above.. Think about it ... If you the man the mammal was in the cold windy weather.. You'd either head back to your vehicle or go on the side of the hill that wind was being blocked. Critters do that too.. Why even Ole Ruff you find him on the Southern Exposure during your after Christmas hunts...

I got my snow blower all ready... Just need to put some gas in it Friday prior to the storm entry...was so nice 4 years ago.. I was at a previous coworker house helping him with something.. I see his snow blower in the corner and say wow are you lucky.. He told me that neighbors do all his removal now that he was up in his 80's. Would I like to buy his snow blowers.. I said Wow like " Does The Bear Sheeeeeeet in the woods!" He said give me $170.00. Dang it's a deal.....So I think I already got my $170.00 out of this thing. It was brand new... Probably $500-$700 snow blower.

Well this storm has to be bad! I was out back tieing ropes to all the trees to keep them from falling over. I hate to see any of them fall some are 60 feet tall. My flags that I had left over I am hooking to the ropes so the deer do not get caught in them.
But the real problem is the LOOTING that has already started!

i have had labs, beagles, fiests, and some other mutts. This little one is different. 8 weeks old and has that chessie attitude already.
I had mine play fetching by 10 weeks, at 6 months I took him to the field to try ranging, teach him to pay attention to me and when I turn he keeps track and automatically adjusts... took 2 tweets on the whistle and he was on it...
by 8 months we started water training... shot 2 pigeons off my buds barn, tried to get him to fetch them on land, nope he'd run up and go on point... throw the training dummy and he'd fetch slick as a whistle, wouldn't pick up the birds... thought maybe he didn't like feathers...
was getting real frustrated, took him a walk to the pond to cool off and start over again... got to the pond and threw his dummy, off he went and fetched right up... at least that was still working... figured I'd throw the birds in for the turtles to eat... well they no sooner hit the water and he was off and fetched both up as nicely as could be, right back to heel and dropped to hand... WTF... sat him threw the bird again, another flawless retrieve... we played that game for a while, never bit a bird, very soft mouth... finally I had my bud take him down over the bank so he couldn't see where I threw the birds, blind retrieve, worked great...
then I tried to slick one past him with all this fun and games, I threw one to water and one to land... sent him to water first, then down the pond bank for the land retrieve, again, water went fine, land point and wait...
well to make a long story short I hunted him for 8 years, he never did pick up a bird on land, and he only ever lost one bird on the water... he'd always find them, and point, never lost one on land, guess he figured if he had to get in the water I could grab the ones on land... I just had to live with it...
-
;) ;) ;) Guess he trained you well :o :o :o :o :o now fetch it up Dale :P :P :P :P :P :P :P LOL-LOL :-X :-X :-X :-X As you said earlier...I couldn't resist it!! 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

I guess if you climb up on the roof :P there is 5 inches ::) but if you stay down in the driveway ;) there is only 2 :o. That's what the "MAN" said and that's my story and I'm sticking to it ::) ::) ::) ::)........... 8)

We have another couple of inches of snow this morning. Really light & fluffy.
I cleaned up snow around here yesterday, driveway, paths and parking area, from Tuesday & Wednesday snow. Will do same today, but it's a lot colder and windy.
The snow is still laying on limbs and Pine trees plus todays snow. When the wind blows, it is a WHITE OUT.
Buckwheat, I gotta shovel and plow here this morning. Am staying inside after that.
But I planned for this cold snap...we have a few ole chairs with loose rungs. Next few days I will take chairs apart, scrap old glue, re-glue & re-assemble. That will keep me inside, in the warm...lol.
-
Goose, we got a couple more inches overnight.
Did C-burg get any snow last night?

4 degrees right now. No wind.
Did the barn work, fed the Goats and Chickens.
Not too brutal outside with no wind.
-
Well Tom my contractor showed up to install the new Heatpump and air conditioning units today on the coldest day. The air-conditioning unit is not even installed and it feels colder already. He said if I have any questions just come out and ask him. I suggested I will probably just call him on the phone rather them come out and disturbing him.
Went out early to feed the critters and think I saw a coyote but sure if it was not a deer. Just seen a glimpse of it but you never know. At 8:50 am it is 17 and no wind.
-
;) ;) ;) I really enjoy the reports from around the state :o :o :o we just need more input like this 8) 8) 8)

Wednesday after the snow, Red Fox tracks showed up across the front driveway and all over the back of the property. Looks like a pair of Reds. They did dine at our bait pile.
Today, wife pointed out a Deer trail to the Bird Feeders. So I have to put out Corn today for 'her Deer'...lol.
The real weatherman is calling for another 2" of snow this evening.
I've been to Montana and North Dakota under extreme cold. I forget when it's 'too cold to snow'.
At what temperature is it too cold to snow?
Buckwheat, just open a window and yell out to him...

When I was in boot camp at Great Lakes Il, we had 1" thick ice on the inside of our barracks widows...it was cold-cold air coming off the lake in Jan, Feb :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ even when I was above the Arctic Circle I didn't mind it as much as when in boot camp :o :o :o :o :o :o Now as an old coot I mind everything; hot, cold, seasonable, sunny, rain, snow, dry, humid, etc..... :P :P :P :P :P...Grumpy old guy!! :P :P :P :P :P

Take care goose. Get'n old ain't for wimps !!!! ::) ::) -1 this morning over here. And "yes" I'm ammo'd up for this spring. Between the lottery furball and the punxy one, I'll be stack'n them like cordwood.

well now, I sure didn't see that coming... would you be sending the whole clan or just LookN4anewhome?...
either way you'll need to include all hunting gear and fishing gear too, I don't share well, and he damn sure aint riding any of the motorcycles...
as for the attitude adjustment, I've got a couple buddies that live/work across the river that would be happy to help in that area if it turns out he doesn't want to play nice...
there are a few redeeming factors though:
1. I can teach him to rake clams and oysters, and there is year round fishing so we won't go hungry...
2. there are plenty of cats around so he may finally get his bobcat...
3. if he acts appropriately, I may even take him out calling for coyotes... we've got about 70,000 acres of game lands within minutes of the house... there are hogs about an hour south of here and waterfowl all over the place...
I'm gonna have to make some modifications in my living arrangements, but if I have to I can make it happen... ;) oh please, please, please don't anything happen to either of y'all... 8) 8) 8)
oh yeah was a high of 34° here today, supposed to be in the mid to high 30's till Monday then back up into the 50's and then into the 60's later in the week... ;) ;) ;)

Sure is and then she had the nerve to tell me that I caught it and planted it there. She went on to say that since it didn't strike her that I caught another and put it in her flower pot. Don't know how she comes up with this stuff.

Crazy weather...
30 degrees, freezing rain @ 6am. 50 degrees, strong winds and raining @ 7:30 am...crazy.
Last evening it was snowing. I looked out the driveway with an inch of fresh snow at 6pm and still snowing.
At 6:15pm I again looked out the driveway and saw fresh Red Fox track. Red came up the middle of drive and within 12' of the house and around the east side.
I was tempted to get the caller and gun, but like them around here....lol. Plus, I've been feeding the Fox here for years and we sorta enjoy seeing them or their tracks from time to time. I also enjoy testing lures & Fox reactions on trail cams out back, so I keep 'em around.

:) At around 1:30 pm yesterday the CEO said :) "Hey there's a raccoon on the back porch!" :) I went to the back door and opened it and sure enough there was a Raccoon looking in at me :o :o I said your a little early it's only Tuesday and Pizza night is always Wed. ::) So it went over to the bird feeders and scarfed down some old bread or rolls I had thrown out...43 at the time..... 8)

Stop blowing everthing out of proportion. All Dale has is a case of spring fever. The only thing it can cause is the iron in his body to turn to led in his ass. Besides that mosquito that is running around only affects pregnant women. All those symptoms you talk about is just a standard day for Dale.

:-[ :-[ :-[ PHEEEWWWWW!!!! :-\ :-\ :-\ Thank-you for setting me straight DR. BW ::) ::) Dale! the alert for your early demise :P has therefore been rescinded ;D However if you do expire ;) don't blame it on me >:( Your heir's can sue BW for malpractice not me ::) Remember his "Shingle " outside the garage says:" Gun's,Plum's, Ammo, Lights and Diagnosis of Disorder's.... :P :P :P :P :P................. 8)

:) :) :) Now remember Dale is on a diet and his tolerance level for blood sucking skeeters may not be palatable for most skeeters :P :P :P :P :P therefore he maybe exempt from all ridiculous viruses that effect the brain or tail matter ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) alcohol washes help all issues with big bugs wearing combat boots!! :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ 40° and sunny... ::) ::) ::) ::)

Goose, wife's B-day is this week and I'm making her something.
Mom always like when I made something for her, so I thought I'd do the same for wife.
Plus, money is tight since I retired.
The past few years I bought her some things she needed, boots, easy pull chainsaw, snow shovel, and so on.
But this project will make life easy for her.
Hint: 2 1/2" wood screws and scrape 2x4's
I'll post picture later...
-
;D ;D ;D I'm Hi-jacking this before "Goose" answers cause I know what it is ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)...........It's a double 2x4 lever to jack the car with a cinder block when changing tires ::) ::) ::) ::) You are so "Thoughtful" ;D ;D as a person with a bad back :P I can tell you holding a car up with just your arms and back muscles is no treat :P :P :P :P :P................she'll just LOVE it!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D Hern be sure to send us the address where we should send your "Get Well Soon" cards after she receives this ::) ::) ::).................... 8)
-
Hern
Let's see? pieces of 2x4,s and screws? Well that's a simple one for me to guess what you're going to make her. You're going to make her a nice pair of saw horses so she can do a little more chores around the house. You're such a smart man,. And that leaves an opening for a brand new handsaw for next years gift. Always thinking ahead aren't you,
-
;D ;D ;D Hern I had a buddy that bought his wife 2 gallons of wall paint with brushes and rollers included :P :P :P :P :P :P she bought him a snow shovel and a push reel type lawn mower :P :P :P :P :P on topic now: stopped snowing and is just gloomy ::) ::) ::) ::) bad back is gonna have a CEO take away his fresh air pass!! ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???
-
Buckwheat, you are close. Am glad you can think for yourself unlike two other guys that visit this site.
Henpeckr1 knows my wife has a floor jack to change tires and Gooseberries has no clue, I got the wife 2 gallons of wall paint for Christmas.
saw horses, NO...one word off

"NO...one word off" by darn it must be a see-saw!! :P :P :P :P

B66, no need to delete. I was just rattling the cage.
Goose, on a serious note, this site has alot of hits from 'guess' cruising the internet.
These lurkers do read. Right now, I am the only user, but 13 'guess' are viewing.
If this site is new to folks, maybe they stop at this thread. It's so long, it may take a few visits to read though.
On a lighter note, maybe some real live, geek weather folks are comparing the past 3 years of their weather stats, with 3 years of weather stats posted here.

-
;D ;D ;D Might hafta change his name to "Sparkie" then ::) ::) ::) ::)
-
Yeah, Yeah. :( You keep planning super secret brekie's and I am planning on a successful fisherless season. :-X :-X :-X
I am throwing the gauntlet down. I hereby challenge Moe (Jaspr1), Larry (Buckwheat) and Curly (Goose) to the first ever Fisher Showdown! Bragging rights for eternity and a free Brekie paid by the losers.
If you choose not to accept, I get to snap a #2 across your knuckles!
You old coots already have an advantage because non of you work I can only trap for five days.
PS: Must do it yourself, not have your buddy trap and give you. I'm watching.
-
The challenge has been made!!! What if more than one of you get one???
-
Well then breakfast is going to be more expensive for the losers.
You want in on this Jake? Just say the word. :o :o
-
LOL
He throwing down what?
To "throw down the gauntlet" is to issue a challenge. A gauntlet-wearing knight would challenge a fellow knight or enemy to a duel by throwing one of his gauntlets on the ground. The opponent would pick up the gauntlet to accept the challenge.
Sorry but to thrown down your to to as a challenge does not count as a challenge. It will just get you sent to your room.
I guess his PS statement means he can not find a friend to help him cheat.
PS: Must do it yourself, not have your buddy trap and give you. I'm watching.
No wonder he can not catch a fisher. He only wants to challenge the three stooges. He should learn to set his own trap line goals. Moe could you just slap him? He keeps setting his self up for failure. He needs real goals, can you imagine losing to The Three Stooges. Nothing but a downhill slide from there.

Masterjake

Are you kidding no plan B!! Now you can see why the fishers eluded him.
-
:) "It will just get you sent to your room." :) HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ;D ;D To your room Sonny!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D Jump in Jake ;) he will go into cardiac arrest when he has to buy 4 Brekie's :P :P No worries I am always packing nitro tablets ::) ::) Well I accept ??? my only condition is that any carcass you bring in get's carbon dated ::) ::) Remember I KNOW (our little secret) your WORK habits... ;) ;) .........I have my 1 trap ready all I need is a license....LOL....sincerely, MOE... 8) PS: Must do it yourself, not have your buddy trap and give you. I'm watching. That also means you, Sonny, cannot consult with Old Coots for advice!! Time to stand on those big dog feet all by your lonesome...
-
" Time to stand on those big dog feet all by your lonesome..." but there's webbing between the toes ??? ??? ???
-
Good then. I have at least one Stooge who isn't afraid of a little challenge. The real question is, who's truck is he gonna borrow? :o :o :o :o
As far as my work habits. Don't believe everything you read. Those pictures were taken in July during the season. I just got around to posting them. ::) ::) ::)
What do you say old "downfeathers"? Are you allowed to play or do you have to keep the bird bath water from freezing in December? ;D ;D ;D
I know old "wheatflower" is too chicken pooped. He will probably be hosting a tea social at the Safe Harbor Quaker house that week. ;D ;D ;D
-
;D ;D ;D ;D Old Goose is just waitin for you to further pluck the peach down off your posterior and make a complete A$$ out of yoself ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D I've had my Fisher tag since June ;) ;) ;) ;) By the way Peachfuz do you have permission to go after a fisher?? ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)
-
It all goes down hill when you start talking about yourself as a third party.
;D ;D ;D ;D Old Goose is just waitin.
Well that's two stooges committed to the cause. "Cause I need a free Breakie" ;D ;D ;D ;D
Now I just have to convince Old "Creamofwheat" he has a chance. ::) ::) ::) ::)

Lookn4freefood
I will have to check my schedule.
I think this Fisher season Falls right in the middle of my Christmas carol singing.
Then I have that Santa Claus thing to do. You're welcome to come sit on my lap and asked Santa for a Fisher.
But remember you have to be polite and no butting in line, there will be other kids there wishing for stuff too......
-
Lookn4anexcuse...Iffin you are gonna quote me...put the whole statement up and don't be like Billary.. ::) ::) ::) Also talking in third party is better than only being able to talk to yoself as you hafta doooo :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[
-
:) Well the "Old Coots" have called it ::) relying on their years of wisdom ;D ;D and an inner sense of ESP ;) ;) "Sonny" is going to elicit the family pet to try and catch a Fisher :P :P :P it's all over FB right now!! :o :o picture and bragging to boot :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ BW: your quote was pretty close to the mark "I guess his PS statement means he can not find a friend to help him cheat." the poor Dog, is going to get drug into it, and he doesn't know it yet... :P :P :P.......NO WORRIES "Old Coots" I have forwarded all info to PGC and Sonny will be cooling his BIG DOG feet in the Cameron Co. clink this Fisher season :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o..........I can read his mind and anticipate the erratic moves, BIG DOG feet, ;) ;) I was right on the money ;D ;D ;D ;D.............. 8)

Jasper
O- my God, yes that is a prayer!
I think he went off the deep end again. How is he going to explain to his wife he lost her little baby the family dog in the woods and ended up as coyote food.
His wife will hear the dogs death crys from being eaten by coyotes every night she goes to sleep.
There should be no fisher contest!!!!! Maybe he should do coon trapping contest. He could at least find a road kill and the dog could be left at home safe.
Let's ease up on him for at least a day.
-
:) Agreed!!! :).........Poor little "Dan".....or did you mean "Sonny"? :-\ :-\ Well either way,it's going to take the weekend to recover from the shock! :o :o :o You always have such high hopes.. :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(................. 8)
-
I'm glad you saw that post on Facebook. I did that just for you. ;) ;) ;)
I knew old "creamofwheat" would come up with some excuse not to participate.
You better start mapping out your trapping line now since you cant trap fisher in your areas. Does the Home allow you to leave for more than a couple hours at a time? Better put your request in for transportation now. ;D ;D ;D
-
:) You see Darin...you try to show some MERCY....and it comes right back and bites you... :P :P.....Well since he seems to have intimidated "creamofwheat" I propose "Hern" as his replacement ;D All that yapping about "Old Coots" should get on Facebook ::) how's that working for you Sonny ??? ??? 2 bites already :o I think maybe you should go over to TWITTER :-\ You seem like the TWITTER type ;) being a TWIT and all... :-[ :-[ .... 8)
-
Jaspers1
O my God, yes that's another prayer for your miss guided son.
We all know he is not smart enough to make a dumb post on another site just to bait you. He just got caught being him self.
His true trapping prowess of not catching any thing shows he can not bait a possum let alone bait a cunning old coot like you.
LOL Jasper you will not need Hern, any body that can set a victor mouse trap would be way ahead of lookn4ameal.
I pretty sure he is banned from Twitter. I know I never heard of that ever happened to any one before either.
I still have mercy for him.
He just keeps on calling me out to look good. He just does not understand, I would just as soon buy him the breakfast then having him run wild in the woods and hurt himself trying to compete with adults. I kind of feel like a playground supervisor with him at times.
-
Lol. I will take the brekie. Day and time?
-
Don't drag Hern into this hoping he will make up for your short falls. ;D ;D ;D

You said pick a time and day. Jasper1 See what kind of kid you have. Will I guess I will look on the bright side. I'll just sleep in.

;) ;) ;) Old Coot +1....Sonny - 0 :P :P :P :P :P :P :P Someday you may learn :o :o :o but I doubt it ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
It seems he wants to hand pick his "Old Coots" ;D ;D ;D BW that was truly generous offering to buy the young lad brekie ;) He must be picking through dumpsters again, if he doesn't want to come running :P :P As far as him "Working"....hahahahahahahahahahahahaha....I could tell a story :-\ :-\ but I will spare him another embarrassing moment.... ::) ::) BW says:"having him run wild in the woods and hurt himself trying to compete with adults.:) " NO worries we are going to get the deluxe collar with the shock and GPS attached :o :o... 8)

The good news is "Danny" remained safely at home with us ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D we all enjoyed the warmth of the home ;D ;D while someone else trudged back and forth, to and fro ::) ::) ::) from the cabin to the privy :P :P in his "FISHER-LESS" quest!!! :P :P :P :P...........................you can't catch them sitting in the truck :P running the heater :o :o :o :o :o................No effort needed to tie!!! just sayin..........LOL................. 8)
-
Is anyone still catching in this crazy weather or is it just me? My traps have been dead for about a week and a half.
-
;) ;) ;) Doc mine have been pulled for awhile...I haven't talked to anyone in my area that still has steel on the ground... :( :( :( :(
-
Maybe I need to do the same but im still hopeful.
-
Talked with a fellow on Wednesday that still has traps out. Was complaining because all he's been getting are coons and grinners in his coyote and fox sets.....
-
;) ;) ;) ;) It's gonna git colder by the end of the week so maybe those coon and grinners will hole up for awhile.... ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???
-
Colder would be great. I have no complaints our first year trapping and to date we have 3 coon, 2 red fox, 3 coyote and a fisher all on 5 traps and all since the end of deer season.
-
You've been busy, Doc.
-
I was very busy for awhile but then it was like something hit a switch a week and a half ago, that's why I asked if anyone was still catching. I hope these cooler temps that are coming will help all the sign is still there, pictures on trail cameras, and still nothing in the traps since this warm and rainy weather has moved in.
