Is something eating our turkeys? Are feeders predator magnets?

Definitely can’t wait for some colder weather this summer can kick rocks 😅
Absolutely!
Good pre season work
It sure is!
You did the right thing cutting up from the bottom then cutting down and rolling the log to finish! I've cut a lot of trees and you always gotta be conscious of which way its going to go! Good luck with everything my friend!
Thanks for the tips!
To prevent the problem at 9:07 what you do when the pressure is downward (the log is suspenended on 1 end) you start the cut from the bottom and go about a 3rd of the way then finish the cut from the top. It prevents pinching, splintering like what happened to you, and really important to do if your limbing up an alive tree in order to get a clean cut reducing damage to the tree and encourage a fast clean heal over the collar of the tree limb.
Thanks for the feedback and the comments!
4:22 your bars probably okay, most common a curve cut is an indicator of uneven teeth on your chain. Just like with knife sharpening maintaining your angles is the most important thing to focus on.
Noted!
The nylon wedges are handy for sure. Heres a trick that works even without wedges this is a video link where it is demonstrated. The videos good overall but the technique is taught at 5:50 - 8:20. He calls it an under buck I call back bucking. Only downside to this is if your working on trees that the diameter is far longer than your bar it can be hard to line up your cuts, but over all it's a game changer! th-cam.com/video/xsKDlRGubgM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=QxwfRR_0fOq-BuyE
I definitely need to use wedges next time!
Nylon wedges to keep your saw from pinching...... Looks good otherwise
Thanks for the comment and the tip!
Hell yeah!!! Keep trapping!!!
Always!
Wish I was there to help you out with my saws. You’re making progress! I use felling wedges to help me out so I don’t get my saws pinched. Proud of the progress your making 👏🏾
Thanks a lot! We had a lot of friends and family show up to help, and we’re very grateful. I was just piddling as they say lol.
Thats terrible! Really sorry to see all your stuff get smashed! Glad everyone is ok!! Wish I was closer to help you my friend!
Thanks for the kind words! Trusting in the Lord!
I’m so sorry for your loss of your property least ways y’all are alright
Yes we’re very grateful and blessed! Could have been way worse!
One day at a time 🙏🏾
That’s right!
Very well spoken bro 👊🏾
Thank you!
That echo is putting in some work 😅
Poor lil saw lol 😂
Great job my friend!!
Thank you very much!
So sorry to hear bro! Prayers to you and your family! Glad you all are ok every thing else can be replaced 🙏🏾
Much appreciated and you’re right!
@@247averagejoe how many hours did you have on your sg40??
I think a lil less than 60. Not many at all
@@247averagejoe man seeing it like that sucks so bad 😭
Ya for real. Hoping insurance takes care of it right!
Good video bro
Thanks! And thanks for the comment!
Don’t know who or where you are, but I’m glad you’re safe
Thank you!
Set trap in front of colvert they will come back to block it back up for sure
Thanks for the tip!
@@247averagejoe welcome beavers are creatures of habit break their dam it’s in there nature to fix caught 89 beavers this year 89 percent came on a dam break
Fire!!!
👊🏼👊🏼
Thats a lot of work! Hope you get those beavers! Thank you for sharing my friend!
Thanks man! Appreciate the comment!
Wait for the water to stabilize because beaver traps will be exposed and illegal. Unless you can get a 330 out in main channel so water level won’t expose it.
When I go back I’m gonna add a couple 330s for sure!!!
And hopefully it won’t take a month for him to come back!
Just make a break big enough to get it flowing some . Don’t bust it all the way out . set your foot trap off to one side or the other of the break under water . You’ll have a beaver when they come back to fix .
Ya someone told me I shouldn’t have cleaned them all the way out. I guess I was nervous the road would flood again lol. Got cams and traps watching now so all I can do is wait.
Good luck buddy!! Those snakes were very freaky! Doesn't sound like the girls want to be trappers?? Thank you for sharing my friend!
That’s right! Thanks for the comment!
Mating or Murder😮
😅
And they look like water moccasins. Weird they didn't go after you they're mean and are known to chase people.
I definitely don’t like snakes! Glad they didn’t lol
That’s when you start throwin shit
😅
They're mating brotha
I think fighting 🤔
You should have given them their privacy! You know what procreation looks like!
You sure they’re not fighting?
They making love not war@247averagejoe
😅
FIRST
You win the prize!
As soon as you get a repeat customer, you know you are doing the job right regardless of price. Keep it up. Need decent contractors.
Definitely makes you feel good when you get a repeat customer! Thanks for the comment!
Could be, but could be a beaver as well. Best way to know is a trail cam
Camera is watching it now!
@@247averagejoe make sure to update us
@@semperparatus3188 Will do!
The picture is not clear enough to be sure but, it appears to be a racer or a ratsnake. It is definitely not a venomous species.
Thank you!
Thank you for sharing my friend!
Hey thanks for watching!
Ole Jeffthro. Talked w him a long time at last yrs convention. Very smart man .
Which convention? I’m new trapping and will be joining my state association!
@@247averagejoe ALA state one last Oct in coaling AL near t-town.
OK cool. Maybe I’ll meet you at the next one here in Alabama!
Dunlap baits and lures are good but make my own baits and lures to use and I also sell them I’ve had good luck with it
Nice!
Step down set looks like what you made
Good to know man! Thank you!
Yea I trap year round in summer months I do nesence work but September to April I trap for my self I sell to live market so I stay purty busy been doing this for 50 years but that got set and poly fill is all I use under manhood luck on your trapping
Thanks man! Appreciate the comments!
Very cool my friend!
Thank you very much!
I’m gonna set out 2 cameras on 1000 acres that trap every year this week I start trapping it bout second week September been getting 20-25 totes a year off it got tons of deer on it and coyotes
Nice! Best of luck!
@@247averagejoe thank you I do live trapping so I depend on good clean coyotes diesice free
I'm jealous of your ability to be able to charge that much. In my city in New Zealand there are a couple of old cashed up guys that don't say no to any job and charge peanuts. That stump would have been done for $100-$120nzd ($60usd) so that's what i have to compete against... i know one guy who charges $140nzd an hour with a 38hp machine. If he is on a job for 5+ hours he'll even knock some more off his price. His machines are held together with duct tape and prayers. Been around for 20+ years though so I don't know what the hell to think haha
Don’t feel bad, it varies from city to city here and state to state.
Copper headed rattle monster.
I thought it was a boa anaconda viper!
We can't use feeders in Illinios but I can see it being helpful to get them minerals they need! Thank you for sharing my friend!
Thanks for the comment!
You seem a little timid around those horses... Enjoyed the video, keep it up! Stay hydrated!
You’re very observant! I’m very nervous around them lol. I’m ok if we’re all out in the open but I don’t being in the stalls with them at all.
Feeders ensure proper vitamins, macro and micro nutrients for the deer. If predators are finding the feed lines and stalking the birds. Maybe changing the feedlines every month would help. You think about grasses they all seed at different times. If a natural grass were to seed out that would concentrate wild life to the spot and once its done they would naturally look for the next. On properties for hunting. The feed lines and feeders are also for the benifit of the hunters. Concentrating the animals to areas intened to be hunted.
If a property were converted completely back its natural state, do you think there would still be a need for supplemental feed?
Prolly just the group of turkeys was feeding and they all bunched up at the feeder is reason for couple feathers
I hope so!
@@247averagejoe yes and no. The numbers for a healthy population are on a spectrum. If it were completley back to it's natural those numbers would probably be on the lowerside of that range. With supplemental feed it boost population by creating more resources, as long as, especially for the deer, you cull every season you never risk overpopulation leading to disease and inbreeding.
Thank you for your response!
Have them pay the damages. You sure don't wont to rent to them again anyways.
It sucks, it's cosmetic, suck it up. It happens in this business.
Gonna make it work! 👊🏼👊🏼
I hope you get them buddy! Thank you for sharing!!
Thanks buddy! We haven’t been given the go ahead yet so we’ll see!
Id bill for the damage. The hit it twice.... Once in the middle and once on the back of the fender. Operator was careless.
Definitely got to tighten the terms of my contract!
@@247averagejoe I dont know that the contract really matters in this instance. If someone damages your property they are responsible. Next time just file an insurance claim against the contractors insurance. The customer is kept out of it so its a win from that standpoint.
Is it just "cosmetic" the material in this case;metal was stressed or weakened taking some of its life away. With a care less person damaging both sides and in multiple spots, as a business owner one may consider down time, vetting the customer's & project getting a solid contract drawn up like every other rental company has in place. The equipment cannot make money if it's in your yard or shop being worked on. You could put it in your contract to require while loading they hang the provided.... bumpers. bolt a chain to some old tires with a hook, place them in-front of axles to protect the sides. Maybe inspect the spare tire mount, that may have been used as a bumper too. Options and an opinion, hopefully everything works out for you.
Many thanks! We’re new so taking all the constructive feedback we can get!
you didn't send it out like that, the next guy won't take care of it at all looking like that
True. Gonna try to get out pulled back out.
