  1. Always wondered why the elders were always reading the obituaries - Now I know! Having achieved the age of 62, I have encountered much death over the last year and a half.  On the personall side, My Father, My younger brother, my dog, my 2 cats - it's almost exhausting and truly depressing. Time is running out for some of us sooner than later and it's the only thing you can't buy more of. Enjoy each and every day as best you can. Damn wish I was 30 again or younger! you don't get it...until you get it! - sorry for the babble.

  2. I want to thank everyone for their kind words during this trying time. My brother Mike passed this morning and is now in God's arms. Again thanks forr your prayers. As much as it hurts I know he is in a better place. I feel really bad for my Mom and his wife as they are both devastated by this. At least they didn't have to make the decision at 2:00 to pull him off the ventilator. And for that I thank God they were not put thru that.

    be safe and healthy everyone - and remember to be kind to everyone especially your family and friends as the unexpected can and does happen and catche you off guard.

  3. Thank You everyone - prayers make a difference!

    Everyone stay Healthy. I have had the covid twice (feb 2020) and tested positive again on 1/2/22. Overall am good but still have symptons yet as of today - started out mild and then got to flue like proportions. As of now - mostly cold type symptoms i.e. runny/stuffy nose, minor conjestion, except still can't smell anything and have about 1/2 my taste. All vitals are good tho. wish that's all my brother had experienced - would trade places with him if i could!

     

    Again, from bottom of my heart - thanks everyone!

    -18  here this morning  in the bowl.  Had to put socks on the dogs this morning. Miss  ellie  layed down in the snow last night as her feet got so cold . Had to pick her up and carry her in to the house.  65 pound wuss ass.

    had to do the same for my 2 pups - feet were freezing in the 2 minutes they were out - couldn't walk had to carry them in!

    feeling bad for the other critters. my outside cat is staying in her( 3"  foam insulated) box on the porch (yes it has a heating pad in there also)! poor critters!

    If it is the same deal as raccoons, then you don’t need to bury them after the regular trapping season is open.  Vermin and birds will usually make short work of them, if you just toss them out in an open field.  
     

    It doesn’t seem to matter how deep I burry the coons, the coyotes usually dig them up within a few days.  Pre trapping season carcass burning is another legal option that I have yet to try.  With all the fat on a coon, I would think they would burn quite easily and complete.

    good to know...hoping they are coming back tonight - cleared a shooting lane to 2 of the damns.

    Are you guys saving the castors ?  I heard that they are worth $ 40 but the hides are only fetching $ 4 this year.  

    i don't have a trapping license just a  permit (nuisance) so I can't keep or do anything but bury it I believe, which i am happy to do because digging out their dam by hand sucks!

    I would have waited and got him first ,but I’m sure you needed the water down first and foremost .

    i did not need the water down , i just figured it would be easier to get them when they rebuild. last 1 i shot at 4am with my 17hmr and night vision scope as they were rebuilding a torn out dam. now i'm sporting a 223 with a sightmark hd 4-32 digital night vision scope and was hoping to get him with that as they rebuild.

  8. I'm still waitin on the first...lol. Have only seen 3 deer this year (shot 1). All does. Very unlike my area. Last year opening day gun saw approx 14 deer. bewildered. And am up with puppies at 5 am every morning so have been hunting more than I usually get to. bewildered and stumped. have yet to see a buck while hunting. disappointing season for bucks for me in my area for some reason.
