    He’s about to turn 12 months old on the 30th of this month. He’s getting pretty birdy.

    2023 Bird and Dog pics

    10.5 months old, first Montana Hun yesterday morning. He pointed from about 50 yards out, held while I flushed and shot; retrieved to hand.

    2022/2023 winter Beaver Trapping.

    Not the biggest beaver in the water, but got this one on a set under that big downed log, this beaver trying to get back into the lodge.

    2022/2023 winter Beaver Trapping.

    You’d be surprised perhaps, as far as using the castor to lure them in. But that also depends on where you’re trapping. Here in Montana I am mostly trapping through the ice, but on the spring creeks I can do it because there’s no ice. It’s pretty much getting past “prime” pelt season at this...

    2022/2023 winter Beaver Trapping.

    I like using a sled to haul them out, but I’ve also floated them downstream with paracord attached to a foot while I waded with waders on. Love Big Michigan. I was a blueberry farmer in South haven area for a decade.

    2022/2023 winter Beaver Trapping.

    Love it. Good work. My biggest so far in 3 winters of beaver trapping is 60lbs on the mark. That’s a huge tail on that beaver. What kind of trap did you get it with? Keep at it. And yeah, that freezer fills up fast, be careful because you’re gonna have a lot of work in front of you if you’re...

    2022/2023 winter Beaver Trapping.

    Love Steelheading. Used to live in Michigan, and while the species isn’t native, it has become wild and self sustaining, no more stocking needed. Beast of a species.

    2022/2023 winter Beaver Trapping.

    I started a thread of the same nature last winter for beaver trapping, so let’s keep it going. There may not be many of us trapping beavers, but maybe. It’s been a tough go to start the season for me this year, but after 6 weeks with steel in the water, I finally got two last night. And luck was...

    Beaver trapping 2021-22

    No, not selling the fur as of now. I am using the pelts I’ve put up for a personal projects as Marmots said as well. My main goal is to make a real blanket for my bed. After that I am planning to make all of my winter hunting gear out of beaver fur.

    Beaver trapping 2021-22

    The work is real. I volunteered my trapping over the last two years on the same ranch in exchange for duck and goose hunting access. The amount of work that goes in to the trapping alone is significant, then you have to take into account pelt care. Stretching and drying is significant in its own...

    Nah, I prefer to push back on them.

    Stone glacier spam

    Ha. Not likely, but that belt was definitely in my inbox. They get bought out by Vista Outdoors and then suddenly I am getting their unsolicited emails. Seems pretty direct to me that they are now purchasing contact information. I’ve never bought a single piece of their gear nor will I, and I...

    Stone glacier spam

    I emailed them yesterday and they responded by saying that they’ve taken me off the subscription list but yet today I still receive the emails from their official email. It’s quite annoying, but you could be right.

    Stone glacier spam

    I’ve never once signed up for Stone Glacier emails to my account, yet they are sending me emails advertising their wares. Seems suspect to me that they were bought out by a big national brand and now I am getting their junk emails. Anyone else?

    Beaver trapping 2021-22

    I’ve trapped over 40+ beavers in the last 14 months, I’ve had about 7-8 50 pounders, still chasing the 60 pound mark. 80 pounds is dang impressive, that’s a big damn beaver. The North American record I believe is around 110 pounds from Iron county Wisconsin. They are decimators if left unchecked.

    Beaver trapping 2021-22

    This is either the 21st or 22nd beaver this winter/spring. This one required a castor mound bait set. I had the pond cleaned out but then this inbound migrating beaver showed up this week. He had to go.

    My class of 2021, mixed species.

    The pronghorn scored about 74 inches green, and I didn’t bother scoring the muley. It was a good season for me. The beaver fell last March, 50+ lb beaver.
