    Youth quota, too young

    Ridiculous. Dad should face serious consequences.

    Youth quota, too young

    7yo with very close supervision and assistance is what I have settled on. I do think getting these reps early will help them out immensely once they are more independent. They are already learning beginner mistakes, and seeing the effect of movement, wind, etc spooking game. My 7 year old is...

    Missouri Spoonbill opener

    My boys ate some fresh out of the fish this morning. I actually processed some last year. Regs are very restrictive around the caviar. It’s ok, glad I tried it once. Just sucks cause you can’t transport it, can’t give it away, etc. Most of it gets thrown away.

    You didn’t catch them all @Lostinthewoods ! We did pretty good this morning. They really seemed to be stacked up in a few spots. 13 degrees was a little brisk, but it warmed up a bit.

    Got a good one this morning. Might set one more spot this weekend and call it a year.

    Trapping Thread 2025/2026

    Been hitting the beavers again now that the water has opened back up. I didn’t feel like battling the ice, so we waited. Caught 5 in the last couple days. Biggest was 46 lb and the smallest was 17 lb. All damage control beavers. One landowner was about ready to go full Rambo on beavers and...

    Kansas Outdoor Heritage Alliance

    We’ve been working on building this group for about 3 years now. It started slow, but now we find ourselves turning groups away. We have around 13 groups involved right now. We limit the group to hunting, fishing, trapping, and houndsmen groups. If any of you know of any other local hook and...

    Liberty mutual insurance

    Maybe Im the outlier, but I have my broker shop my policies every year. I’ve switched companies a few times. I am now with Cincinnati insurance. If you haven’t shopped your rate in a while you might be shocked at the differences. When I switched companies last year, the premium difference...

    Silver

    I bought a fairly large stake of SLV, GLD, and GDXJ a few years ago when SLV was around $20. I listened to too much Peter Schiff and he was making a lot of sense. It’s looking pretty sweet now. Kinda wish I owned some physical instead of digital silver and gold.

    Fleshed 2 coons today with a electric 1700 psi power washer and it worked well. For me, this will be my go-to. takes zero skill, and simplifies the process. i did have to do a little bit of manual scraping, but the power washer did 95% of the work.

    Mixed bag this morning. Happy with the catch, but thought I’d have a few more muskrats. Moved my muskrat traps to the other side of the pond. Looks like I will need to pull them tomorrow. Winter is coming finally.

    Trapping Thread 2025/2026

    Had a big cat finally come into the set…didn’t go in the trap though. Randomly got permission to trap some nearby ponds while at church this morning. I was told it was to remove beavers. Looks like maybe 1 or 2 beavers, but they have a serious muskrat issue. I think they were seeing rats and...

    We finally caught our 1st cat of the year. Looks like a female by body characteristics. Probably set her loose.
