We have seen fishers here but not in the last 10 years.

Morning all. Coffee is good today... Jerry I have cheaper coffee than the dunkin donut ones. But I like it better. It is some I found on Amazon and bought because it was cheaper than most. Now I get 80 k cups a month delivered. I have a few hundred cups stored up so I should not run short for a while. I stock pile 2 things ammunition and coffee, I figure with those I can survive until the end of the world. Why would you want boards that will only last 40 years? You do realize in 40 years you will have to redo them. Anyone know what kind of critter leaves this track: I looked at the MN DNR site and cannot find a match The shell is 20 ga. The two claws spook me a tad as it was only 30 ft from my pole barn.

The claws are very pronounced. Almost look doggish... Maybe a 'yote?

Those are mink tracks. When growing up I lived just down the road from a mink farm. Get out the traps, stand guard with a gun (ppitchforks work too) they are nasty creatures. They will chew through anything! Including a 80lb calf.

I found this online




It does resemble it. but they seem very close together, I thought they were straight line like a fox. I could be wrong though. Thanks

Ralphie as far as hoarding goes.... I have been spending coffee money on ammo instead. Approaching tin foil hat amounts and still can't stop looking at more

It was early, so it could have been an owl. I haven't seen or heard them around, but that doesn't mean they're not there.

I did have peanut M&M's for lunch - not gonna lie. I'm saving the other 80 pounds of candy to bring to your house. I'd hate for you to feel left out of the Halloween festivities.

At the clinic, we use 50% peroxide / 50% water for ear cleanings. I shouldn't say "we"....I don't do that crap....but it seems a little less harsh than straight peroxide yet still effective with the birds.

Thanks for sharing that about the peroxide mix. I keep using it straight to bubble that crud that is too deep for me to get at. If they end up deaf in one ear, I am not too upset by it, it is better than a slow death by infection. I had to put the rooster down, he just couldn't get his bearings and perhaps there was something else at play there.

Me too. I lost all my guns and ammo in a tragic boating accident....
