Have you ever been too Wild West gun shop?  :dunno: Its fun to watch the shop drama.

Drive past it all the time in South Anchorage but never stopped in. Shows like that kill me hard to watch, lol. Plus the one I watched they hunted the buffalo farm outside delta junction little ridiculous. In Alaska and they have to go to a high fence farm  :chuckle:

Man I thought that buffalo hunt looked funny, now I know why.

Having some super crazy weather up here Alaska! It's 46° on my line today. 90% of my snow is disappearing I feel like I'm trapping in the spring. I'm setting in areas I normally don't set because of heavy snow this year there's no snow hopefully things will start paying off soon getting out lots of sets. I even got out a couple hay sets today! With this weather they should produce.

Why does hay attract animals? how/why is it used?
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

It has a HUGE visual apeal because of the color but it also covers scent extremely well. I like it in crappy weather also because it help keep the trap out of mud and creates a nice bed. There is a muskrat down in the hole I created in it. I also put a shot of pee on the tree behind it  ;)

Work keeps getting in the way lol. Dealing with flooding issues today so no time to check just stop in an old area and set two quick snares lol. Looks like October feels like September! Try and spot the snare in the first pic ;)
