Trapping is deeply rooted in the human instinct and drive to harvest animals for food and clothing and pre-dated all forms of hunting with weapons. I hunt because I was fortunate enough to be respectfully raised in that tradition and I have raised my sons the same. I trap (or attempt to trap...

Lots of woodies around these parts. I just got back from a lightly snowy trudge through the woods tonight and I flushed a pair out of a mud hole. In November, I had a small flock landing in a large puddle every night for a week. I surprised them on the third night and dropped a pair for the...

Jeff, There is no power to the snare. They are designed for the animal to pass through, not step on. They are suspended from a standing wire, usually 14 ga. or thicker The snare is stranded wire with a formed loop and a sliding lock. The end of the snare must have a swivel and that end is...

Ben, It is NOT illegal to bait the snare set. You must keep your bait at least 30' from the snare OR conceal the bait from view if it is less than 30' from the set. This is to minimize the chances of birds swooping in on the bait and getting in the snare. I have been using mullet as bait...

I am a licensed trapper and have only recently begun experimenting with snares. Just because it is legal to trap in an area, doesn't make it a good place to trap. One really needs to excecise some good judgement in snare palcement as far as proximity to people and likelihood of snaring...

Very nice Jeff. Yesterday was a beautiful day to be in the woods and enjoying that cobalt winter sky.

I walk 3 miles +/ in the woods around here almost every day of the year rain or shine. I was questioned once about what I was doing by a young game warden, probably because I was dessed in camo but I didn't have a gun with me that night. He ended up asking me if there were any known...

Ruhh Rohh! :mrgreen:

Happy B Day Sue Gremlin! As for me, I went to my weekly sportmen's club meeting, as usual. Our club has not missed a weekly meeting since 1938. This is our 70th year. I have to admit, I haven't made quite all of those meetings. :) I told the bride that we would go out to dinner tomorrow...

Here are some great lyics from a current country music song by Brad Paisley. Too funny. (copy clipped from CowboyLyrics.com) I work down at the Pizza Pit And I drive an old Hyundai I still live with my mom and dad I'm 5 foot 3 and overweight I'm a scifi fanatic A mild asthmatic And...

No response from the thread starter?

Their location is within view of a lot of houses and they looked to have been recently placed there. IMO, probably brought home by a builder/remodeler from a jobsite and then drug into the woods by his kids or someone else's kids. Damn kids. :)

Why don't we send the robot over to the aliens thread? :)

Thanks for posting this Jim. I am not sure I can swing it though, as I may be hitting the AC Boat Show Sunday.

Davensj The first response was a little harsh. You are doing everything right by planning on cruising the pines legally with a tagged dual sport. I started in the pines on legal bikes, (DT-400's) in the late 70's. I would ride to Jackson Road from Gibbsboro and start my woods rides at the...

I always thought I was old school. Now I know I am. :)

Thanks for the visual Robert. YIIIIIKEs!

Great post George. Even though I know the location very well, I have never had occasion to see the barn up close. The house and barn are the oldest functional structures in Pestletown.

Rabbits are rodents too and they are way good eatin'. I taught my younger son over Christmas break how to make rabbit stew from dead rabbits on the table to steaming bowl with fresh Italian bread and sharp provolone on the side. He has been hunting since he was 10, as has my older son but they...

We have a 22 year old CAD operator at work who spends his weekend indoors playing video games. The outside world to him is either too cold, too warm, too windy or too something to be enjoyable. He is into a game now called World of Warcraft. It consumes him. It scares the sh$t out of me that...
