Well Leonard, someone went and capitalized on your idea! I just recieved the new edition of PX magazine? don't know if someone subscribed for me or what....I didnt order it.
At any rate, on page two, a full page ad trumpeting the Predator Bomb scent fogger. Can looks like a bug fogger, intense aerosol mist shoots out the top witha force that "can't be duplicated with any liquid,solid or gel"
Doesn't give a price tag, but I think you should be getting a damned royality! Check it out under www.buckbomb.com

Not the first time I lost out on a million dollar deal. I've always told people exactly how to make it and how to use it....for free.

Good hunting. LB

..........I heard you the first time:)
Hey, how is the knee doing? fully functional?

I just got my copy opf PX yesterday and that has to be the worst coyote mount I've ever seen make it into national publication. Somewhere, there's a taxidermist that's proud as hell of that anchor.

As far as the idea of packaging their bomb, ... yikes! It's apparent that it's a one time-use device and you'd need a new one for each and every stand. That means I'd be forking over a couple grand a year just to call coyotes that might bring me $10 a piece if I'm lucky. No thanks.

Not only that, Lance. But, I have always heard that you cannot fool a coyote's nose.

Well, maybe somewhere, sometime; someone will read the tea leaves and, who knows?

I have not seen the ad, but I spoke with chiggins this morning and he filled me in. I went to that link provided by Vic and could not see where they offered a "bomb" specifically for coyotes?

Good hunting. LB

PS why is it "one time? Like a room freshener, or a can of paint, just press the nozzle?

Lance, I have two books that have worse mounts that are being represented as photos of real coyotes. The two howling coyotes on the back of "America's New Wolf" are laughable. The cover of "Wonders of Coyotes" is a photo of a howling coyote that is even worse than the the others.

Leonard,

the packaging is just like those stubby little aerosol bug bombs you set off in your house then leave for a couple hours. They have a plastic top that, once snapped, opens the contents and once set off, it's all or none.

I'll see if I can't scan the pic and post it here in a minute.

(It was lying on my desk when I took the first pic of my desk area, but I put it away lest someone would think I actually read that rag. [Smile]

But, it was a freebie, so WTF.)

The text accompanying the picture it's available in immature red fox or coyote urine, and came from Predator Xtreme, April 2006 issue.

Thaks, Lance. I see what you mean about that mount. Looks like a coyote/Jack Russell Terrier cross?

That ad proves something, I'm not sure what, just yet?

Good hunting. LB

Missed this Q.

I had an appointment yesterday. Took Xrays, showed them to me. It's the damnest looking thing, resembles Lego blocks, even has the prongs, with glue and the plastic part doesn't show up too well, but the titanium and stainless steel parts sure do. I wonder about going through a metal detector, now?

He asked for an evaluation and I was brutally honest: said that if I knew the cure was worse than the disease, I would have thought twice, but at this point, I'm off the pain killers and I gave him a 7-8 with ten being highest. I'm not using crutches or a cane for almost a month now. It aches a little at night if I overdo it, swelling still has not gone down all the way. I don't have any skin feeling on about half my shin, below the knee on the outside. Feels weird to get on my knees and change an electrical outlet, like I did this morning; it was very uncomfortable.

He asked me to return in more six months. Asked me about how my retirement was going....SUGGESTED I TAKE UP GOLF FOR A LITTLE EXERCISE! Shit, I gave that up twenty-five years ago. But, it's under consideration.

Good hunting. LB

It proves that lurking with an open mind can pay. At least, they hope so.

Despite the pain of recovery, the pay off comes down the road, long past the time when the OEM knee would have been long gone and you would have been unable to walk because of it. Kind of like cataract surgery. No one likes to go thru it, but it buys you however much time to still be able to see. I guess the big question is how much would you give to be able to get around for a bunch more years? Next year, when traipsing from one stand to the next, take a moment to look back and maybe think to yourself, "Good trade." My uncle waited entirely too long and by the time he screwed up his courage to get 'er done, the muscles in his back and legs had all retracted and were far beyond hope of fixing. He's not even 60 and disabled now. When my dad was first diagnosed with a very serious heart condition, he did a good job of doing what his cardiologist told him to do. After a while, with results slow in coming, he started to get all pissy about his diet and walking. He started gaining weight back. His doctor warned him of the consequences of not doing as he'd been told. My dad's a stubborn ol' sumbitch. It just so happens he had two new granddaughters and a new grandson (one of the girls was my daughter, the other two were my brother's twins). I was very frank with him one night and told him that if he planned on being around to see that little pink bundle of my pride and joy get married, and to dance at her wedding, he'd best be doing what he was told. She's seven, and he was supposed to die several years ago, but he's still here and going strong. Buried two great women, and has a new lady friend with which to spend his time. He's a fighter.

Glad to hear you're coming along well.

Leonard, are you the one Higgins mentioned in Predator Magazine responsible for "Leonard's Magic Mist"...?

If you are we have to have a private talk.
