Muskrat Trapping.....

Bee comes Muskrat trapping in her little carrying cage

It's up to 44 muskrats now.  We are skinning like crazy to keep up.  We took our new kitten "Bee" with us to get her used to traveling.  When we stay up at the linecabin she will probably come with us by skidoo.  Each time Bryan got back into the boat she would purr away.  By the end of the trip she was sleeping.   Our XM radio broke down and we use the Broad Band Radio for outside news.  It works at night.  By computer I was able to order a new XM radio but it won't be flown in here until after freeze up and the airplane strip is safe (probably just before Xmas).   Evan....we are going to follow your advice,  we don't need chicks and these Road Island Reds lay for many years we believe?  But we also like the wake up call in the morning and late at evening.  Also we think the girls might miss him.  They sure were talkative when he came back into the chicken house after spending the night outside.  By the way, the day he came back in..... he did no chock a dodil..... he wasn't feeling so chocky.
