As far as chainsaws go, a sharp chain is your friend. A good sharp chain, seafoam, no ethanol fuel if you can get it, and regular maintenance will make a homeowner saw last a good long time.

No legal issue with getting the beaver out of there. You can ask the guy that has the registered trapline in the area. He may include your place in his rounds. He may try to charge you, but just know that the price of beav pelts are hot right now, but caster is down. The beaver is the only animal that creates its own habitat. He’ll try to back the water up to create that habitat and you wont like the result. pm me if you need options.

I’m with smerchly on this one. Looks like you have beav’s. If it was me i’d be getting them out of there or you’ll be fixing that road continually. about the saw, my brother bought a stihl 170 recently. It was a good price and a decent unit but be aware that it is a homeowner saw. Its not going to put up with continual usage like a commercial unit would. Get yourself about 3 extra blades and keep them sharp and you’ll be happy.

Cool

The blind is out and I’ve got my full bottle of mustard all ready to go!!

Well @Dan Andrews how did the video turn out?

Wow, thats a pretty good will!

Where there is a will there is a way. I’ve carried a 12 ft harbour craft tinner up north on the top of a chevette on roof racks back in the day! looking back at it now, that was probably not the best idea 😀

Every boat is different, but i don’t thing anything in the 12 ft range is going to fit in a standard pickup between the wheel wells unless you are talking about a jon boat. A standard pickup like an f150 allows for 4ft between arches

I hear ya Bill. I’m the same way, but at the price of that cool looking thing you could probably contract a lawn service for the next 5-6 years and break even. I use an old john deere 160 tractor myself. That thing keeps on going and does a fantastic job.

I don’t know how big your lawn is, but Would you be better off simply contracting a lawn service?

If a guy wanted to pick a bunch off his lawn to keep around, say a 5-6 dozen, how would you keep them?

Oh, that’s easy. I though I would need something larger.

What kind of foam box to you use Bill? Like an old cooler?

Ive never heard of that type of setting on a cell trail cam. On a cell cam for sure that would chew up major power and bandwidth and probably not something you would want. The bushnell non-cell cams have something called field scan that you can setup for a period of time and and interval. During that period it will take a pic every interval. Maybe have a look at that.
