    How many men still know how to butcher???

    Butchering has changed. Now instead of meat, people butcher spelling and sentence/paragraph structure.

    Top Five Worst Deer Bullets?

    Shot placement. To Bacon's point, many bullets work to excellent effect if you place them properly to begin with.

    Top Five Worst Deer Bullets?

    Good on you for looking @ the lungs. Lotsa folks look @ entrance/exit with little to no thought/examination of what happened in-between. Any chance you hit grass, cattails, brush/branches etc prior to hitting the deer? I'm not saying wonky things don't/can't happen, just trying to get a...

    Top Five Worst Deer Bullets?

    I've hunted with them exclusively from 243Win through 300Win from '04 through '19. Since '19 I've also used ABLR's to fill 4 tags. I've recovered 1 ABLR, 150gn .277. The recovered portion weighs 55gn. Impact velocity was 2850fps. The bullet entered a bit behind the ear quartered HARD...

    Top Five Worst Deer Bullets?

    How'd you evidence that? Entry/exit and wound channel or did you find the unexpanded projectile? My non-scientific belief, especially with projectiles designed specifically to open rapidly, is that those that don't likely impact the target w/some yaw. Grass, a stick, etc upset the projectile...

    Dewalt cordless lawn tools.

    It happened before that. I can recall my dad using his late 1970's Lawn-Boy mower as a 2-handed frisbee whilst emitting a bunch of words I was told to never repeat lest I receive soap in my mouth.

    Top Five Worst Deer Bullets?

    When that many projectiles aren't working, it's no longer the projectiles. You can't shoot critters in non-vital areas and expect the bullet to make up for your lack of execution. "The Breadbasket" isn't behind the ribs. "Chipped-spine" with a fragile projectile doesn't equal a critter that...

    Good Looking Backstrap

    Venison Backstrap along the spine on the outside of the ribs would most approximate NY Strip beef steak. "Backstrap" is what was used to make the video. Tenderloin/Filet comes from inside the ribcage and will be one of the most tender cuts from any animal.

    Mice…

    The one time I found mouse leavings in my garage I bought one of the traps they can get in but not out. Dropped in a couple tomcat blocks and the situation resolved itself in 2-3 days. I use them in the camper over the winter as well. Get rid of clutter and leaf-litter near your house as...

    Why don’t families get together anymore?

    We get together w/wife's side of the family pretty regular. Wife tries to get the kids down to grandma/grandpa's at least 1x/Mo and we get the whole family together 2x-3x/yr. If her family were closer we'd do more together but it's 3hrs to her folks and another 3+ to her brother's. My folks...

    Moist

    You hear about it in Antelope die-offs as well but I rarely hear about Mule Deer having trouble w/EHD/Blue-Tongue.

    Just on the valley floor or up on the tops too?

    Choose shots wisely!!

    With a good dog you should only have to "shoot" birds until there's some snow, then just let the dog catch them out of cattails or other really thick cover.

    Good Looking Backstrap

    Counter-intuitive, but, get your sear pan hotter. You'll get the char more quickly without migrating the "doneness" towards the middle. On a gas or charcoal grill, I want a 600 degree MINIMUM grill temp before I attempt to sear/char. 1.5-2min/ side and then move to indirect heat with a probe...

    For you hardcore shooters out there, True Velocity Ammunition...

    Hard NO for me. Can’t fathom giving up the ability to make any/all changes I damned-well please.
