Way cool!
I like the ravens lifting when being charged by the coyotes.
So are you going to kill them or what? Time is running out!

I thought that you guys were busted every time the yote looked at the camera. Great footage. Not exactly a pretty coyote as far as fur goes but that isn't what you guys are about. Yeah, that coyote must have been really hungry! Or the calling was very convincing. I was watching one of your videos and my wife was reading in another room. You guys were calling away and my wife yelled to me, "When is someone going to kill that poor rabbit and put it out of its misery?!!" When I told her it was a predator call she actually got up and came to watch the video. It fooled her.

Do you suppose everyone will forget about Forget? It will depend on whether or not someone is there to carry the torch when time catches up with Stef. At least two of the products (Cachottier and Procoon) have the potential to become "classics."

Serge is definitely the man for this topic. The mag he's editor of (Cree hunter and trapper) always has great photos, taken by serge often enough, that show living arrangements.
It also explains the $ concerning living on the land.

They all live on the land in teepees. huh? I have seen where some Cree and Naskapi spend the winter trapping. Small log cabins in some places or prospector tents. But usually its frames covered with plastic.

Remember that the royalty tax DOES NOT go to the queen!
It's just another freakin' provincial tax. And since the auction houses are doing a SERVICE removing the tax we're probably being taxed on the service of taxing us.

Your rats are monsters compared to mine.
Seldom: It's about time you showed us that pic. It's a good one!

not the case in the US, AFWA pays for the traps and does the testing for the betterment of trapping in the US. Done on a budget otherwise trap cost would rise alot and would in turn hurt trap sales for sure. Why doesn't the CA govt pay for this testing? Or charge 3.00-6.00 per trapping license sold to cover some of the cost? Don't get me going here. I do not know the answer to your very logical question. But if they did up the license fees the odds are it would be to pay for something stupid.

T-shirt and bare foot trapping. Different world!
That cat photo makes a guy understand how cats "disappear" in cover.

I haven't tried shredded wood chips. i've heard good things about it but I've also heard that it gets into the fur. It's a moot point because I can get pulp chips but not shredded wood. Straw is available and it works. The dogs keep on hauling it out of the house with their chains. So when it gets below a certain level I add more.
In summer I remove it all. No nothing in the house.
The roof is a piece of plywood with lots of stain. I've been the shingle root. I've been the aluminum route. They chew it all off. Now when a roof is scrapped I cut another 4x8 sheet in two and bingo new roof.
I had a malamute that would lie on its back, belly up, in the cold. I never saw that dog go into its house. One time it broke through the ice and i brought it in the the house so it would dry off overnight. The poor thing was terrified. It would not move from the doorway.
-30 C. right now. I'm hoping it doesn't dip too much more. There's a big difference between -30 and -35. There's an even bigger difference between -35 and -40. When it's that cold five degrees affects things way more.
This a.m. you could hear the slightest sounds. But it was really quiet. Once in a while a tree would pop with great volume. Real square tires on the truck, too!

Interesting. They must have quality fur in that region.
Can they purchase Borax up there?

Somehow I think they'd get them off. They chew bark off trees, overhanging branches ... anything and everything. It's something to see a husky with a mouthful of fir or spruce just tugging.
I used to make nice insulated houses. But every time the dog would chew a hole, in the middle of the wall, and rip out the insulation. Then I'd be picking up styrofoam or fiberglass wool for a month until it was all chewed away.
Now my dog house are made from rough cut boards. When they chew through a board I replace it. Sheet rock screws make it easy. Each dog has a good straw bed.
Some dogs just use the house to sit on. They sleep in the snow!

It all boils down to what manufacturer pays to have his trap tested. If you don't pay, they don't test. And it isn't cheap either. Typical politics. Exactly.
