They told us what they would do....we didn't care apparently. Dale

Tip for mouse and rat traps. Wrap a cotton string (cooking string, mop string, etc.) around the trigger on the trap ( 3 or 4 wraps), and rub your bait into the string well. Rodents (mice, rats, voles, chipmunks, etc.) and shrews get there teeth hung on the string and trip the trap with there...

Used mine in Colorado on the roads through National Forest for elk hunting. Had to buy the states UTV/off road but it was totally legal in the NF then on roads. Loads of fun. Saw everything almost in the state (Cow elk, mule deer, bighorn, mountain lion, etc.) but a legally shootable bull...

I bought a Can Am Commander 5 years ago for work around the house and for hunting. Love it! Dale

I used the Aldrich foot snares for bears when doing bear work for the USDA/APHIS/ADC. Even black bear can give you some gray hairs when checking sets. Keep eye contact and they don't do much. Lose eye contact and they will charge you to the end of the snare. Pray it holds and that your...

Simply put. If you live in a conventional stick built home and the people outside know your in the house and not under ground. You will die. Modern ammo for common rounds like 5.56mm Nato (223 Rem) and 7.62 mm Nato (308 Win.) penetrate all the way through a house and out the other side...

I realize I'm new to the site but I thought I would bring this up. Infantry is taught to NEVER enter a building if there being attacked. Entering a building, or staying in a building narrows or eliminates your tactical options. It does seriously increase the tactical options of your enemy...

Check on the kids and make sure they know what's happening. Due to distance they probably don't have the same issue that we would. If it's weather, we just hunker down and wait it out. Riots, civil disturbance, etc. They would not be stupid enough to come up in here for that. Plenty of...

Careful using red oak for anything that will get much sweat on it in porcupine country. Red Oak has a tubular cellular (permeable), structure that allows liquids to pass through or soak in (can't be used for barrels). You can actually blow air through it. White oak is solid and makes great...

Rebecca, I do some wood burning when wood carving. Mostly to add definition to feathers or fur of animals and birds I carve. Thanks for the ideas! Dale

As far as I know they still have the festival. While we were working we never had time to attend. I'm hoping to change that next year. I need to learn to photograph my work better. Maybe I can talk the wife into learning that. She's a very talented photographer. I take wildlife photos...

My photography skills could use some work. LOL! Dale

I'm teaching myself to make custom copper, bronze and silver jewelry for the wife to sell as a supplement to our retirement. I'm using some metalworking skills I already had and learning new skill sets. Does any one else on here make custom jewelry? I'll post some pictures when I get good...
