What looked like fox hole or blind built into the side of a hill with stones, very old and a long way from anywhere, There were the remnants of a logging camp a quarter mile away, from the turn of the century 1900. NE MN
A piece of plywood over what looked like a grave, the shovel was under the plywood, it was just a few yards from a little spring that just sparkled with pyrite as the water bubbled up through the bottom, we always stopped there for a drink, it too was a long way from any road. To let you know how long ago it was we left a note and a DIME and asked the the digger to call us and tell us about the hole. We checked it every fall for years until everything rotted away the dime and the note were always there. NE MN
We used to use #4 Jump trap in snow trail sets for mink after the ice was too thick to use them in the water for beaver, we'd set them where the mink were jumping over a stick or off a long, made a pretty good killer trap.
