I treed 2 last night .shot one out left the other sitting in the tree.didnt even pack the one out I shot..first time ever on that. was back home around 8.30...
Haven't heard much but may not be worth selling this year. I lost a 100 acres forrest land changed hands. No hunting now. Keeps like this last few years Larry Emberton is right all we will have around here is state land. Most deer hunters won't let you hunt until after deer season now in Hutton township.

they aint jeff .talked to Darwin a week or so ago..he said didn't want any coons...if he did buy it would darn few for not much money...5.00 top ,most 50 cents to a dollar..this year its dog fun....
Some areas could use it. I get some time I will stop by been way to busy lately. Andy arrowed a doe the other day. No size out by dads all year. about a 1/4 as many deer as in past. No Big Bucks at all the will have to move in from somewhere else.
Fur is such a renewable resource it is a shame US don't use it anymore. If you don't harvest so much they overpopulate and die a horrible death and even more are killed. Always good to reward youngsters with cash from thier furs. Always made me feel good when I was a kid selling my furs, proud of my dog, my work and being a good warden of game. These shows of people living in woods and trapping and hunting like days of old will soon close if furs are not worth money. The indian side of me says; Being to civilized is not always a good thing. Scotch Irish side says; Indian is right.
Hunt, Fish, eat and enjoy good times, they don't last forever.

Some of this ground is freezin' up,the guy's pulled some hoses off the knifes on the anhydrous bar today,frozen tundra even snow this afternoon w/ enough to stick talked to the guy I sold hides to last year,he ain't buyin' this year,auction sold 3 yote hides a few weeks ago 2 brought $2.00 the other $10.00 we'll get together Jeff as soon as we get done farmin'. That new rig sure knocks out the haulin' so I'm hopin' we'll be caught up in a week or two. I hauled enough for 160 acres in 1 load,we've been gettin' 500 to 650 acres a day.

Rex , what you need is a 12 or 13 year old bronco to run through the woods with you. Teach him how to hunt ,fish and dig sang .Man there are a lot kids out there that need mentoring .

was a cold 27 here at 6am this moronin with a good wind went up my buddys help him get 1 his salt spreaders runing he said everything would start turning when he started it up he started it up the clutch was staying engaged told him he need a clutch he got a hammer kept beating on it thinking that was gonna fix it told him spray it with brake clean that may fix it but i doubt it will he needs a new 1
1 coon, 1 in junk pile and 1 in den looking out about 1 hour hunt. saw a deer and dog just looked at him. That is what I like about him and Moose. Shellbargers dogs are same way no junk. But i have saw in comp. hunt running a little junk and falling off on coon works well for some dogs. Sure glad Andy is a good shot as Moo is a terrible kill dog!! LOL
If they tree coon and do it right I don't care what color they are.
