I'm terrible at choosing gifts!

Written by The Gift Wizard


Continued from page 1

Notice we said "important to your recipient", not "important to you". Gift giving is not about you. It's about them. Some people tend to forget that and end up giving a gift that they would like themselves.

Another tip: If you are an important person inrepparttar recipient's life, a gift that involves giving of your time is usually appreciated. For example, if you've been working a lot and haven't had much time to spend with your spouse, for your anniversary, consider giving a weekend getaway together.

That in itself is a good example of examining a person's life or situation and turning it into a great gift idea. The situation is: your spouse hasn't hadrepparttar 115973 quality time with you that he/she deserves. The gift is: a weekend getaway together.

It's a simple concept really. Create your own help with gifts: take a look at who you are giving to and try to understandrepparttar 115974 circumstances of their life. Then find a gift that fits! Put that brain of yours to work to findrepparttar 115975 perfect gift! And don't forget to use your heart, too. That's whererepparttar 115976 ALL ofrepparttar 115977 really good gifts come from. :)

We hope this help with gifts and gift giving has been... well... helpful!

Dirt Hole Set - Ticket to Canine Success

Written by John Chagnon, Outdoor-Catalog.com

Place a trap cover overrepparttar trap and sift 1/2" of dirt overrepparttar 115972 entire trap and trap bed area.  Be careful to make sure there are no small rocks or other debris that could get stuck inrepparttar 115973 trap jaws whenrepparttar 115974 trap springs.  The covering over your trap should be flush to slightly elevated compared torepparttar 115975 surrounding ground.

The final step is placingrepparttar 115976 lure, bait and urine.  I perform this step last so as not to get any odors onrepparttar 115977 trap or bedding material which would causerepparttar 115978 canine to dig and scratch at trap resulting in a sprung and empty trap.

A good gland lure is a must.  Put several drops on some fur and deposit inrepparttar 115979 bottom ofrepparttar 115980 hole.  Place a natural backing about 4 to 6 inches high behindrepparttar 115981 dirt hole and spray urine over backing.  Use anything fromrepparttar 115982 natural surroundings, such as a piece of wood or rock.  If you use bait try to use something slightly tainted, as rotten bait seems to attract more possum and skunks.

Your set is ready and only needs to have lure added weekly or after rains.  Try making several sets in one location, especially if a lot of sign is present.  When you catch a canine, be sure to remakerepparttar 115983 set even ifrepparttar 115984 area is all torn up.  Just use a different clean trap and bedding material.  As soon asrepparttar 115985 weather starts freezing, mix trap anti-freeze with your dirt or use dry dirt that you saved duringrepparttar 115986 dry summer months.

The last several winters have been pretty mild, which has provided us with some excellent weather for canine trapping.  Be patient if your line gets covered with snow, because having sets out during a thaw is one ofrepparttar 115987 most productive times and could result in your best catch ofrepparttar 115988 season.
