    hunting ethics

    Killed enough cattle, hogs, chickens, sheep, and other critters to KNOW, there is nothing going on in this video that doesn't happen tens of thousands of times a day in slaughter houses across this nation. Even a bullet to the brain WON'T stop muscle movements to include respiration movements...

    Buying salvage titled vehicles?

    If you plan on driving it into the ground and then donating it to become an artificial reef in it's next life.....then it's a reasonable option IMO assuming you can use completely disposable income the likes of which you could gamble away at the blackjack table without the wife removing your...

    Shed a tear and cracked an extra beer yesterday.

    We were down into the 50's in the house yesterday morning and I was FORCED to start the furnace. You all know what that means so I won't expand. I was hoping to be able to hold off until after deer killing, but Ma Nature has other plans I guess. Cold is expensive.....and SUCKS!!! Cry session...

    Hammered Grey Beard just trying to help.........

    The backpack is spoken for. Young lady wanting it to pack out her own deer. I liked that part. (Grin) Anyone else having success passing stuff along??

    Things on my mind...

    Mounts that aren't wanted might be usable for a high school science/biology class or a college or university biology/zoology department. They use them for classes and displays. You might even donate to a kids type deal for a touchy thing. Let the kids feel a deer, duck, pheasant, furs, etc...

    MREs for hunting blind?

    The way MRE's were distributed in Afghanistan went as follows when we had to eat MRE's: The first shirt would open enough boxes of MRE's to feed everyone and then start grabbing and throwing them behind his head. Whatever you caught was what you ate. The only rule we had was that NO MAN had...

    Hammered Grey Beard just trying to help.........

    Thoughts and prayers as well Happycamper. Got a line on a youth hunter that might want the frame pack. Here's to hoping for more open garage space. Oh, and the spelling and grammar is due to the computer autocheck and NOT my innate immunity to adult beverage consumption. (Grin)

    Got a line on a college kid who may be interested in the ladder stand thanks to a fellow NDA member. I'm hoping this individual will call or text me in the next day or so. Thanks NDA member who will remain anonymous for the tip!! You know who you are!!

    Hammered Grey Beard just trying to help.........

    Nah!! Just remember what it was like when I was young and didn't have a pot to piss in when it came to hunting or fishing. Worked for minimum wage and dreamed of big bucks and mallards dropping into the deks, but couldn't afford a tinkers damn when it came to equipment. Now that I've "been...

    Hammered Grey Beard just trying to help.........

    Been drinkin' since 2 and came to a few realizations..... 1. I have WAY TO MUCH STUFF and need to pass it along to some young bucks just starting out. 2. I have NO WAY OF KNOWING who might need the aforementioned "STUFF". 3. I'm in no need of some youngsters money, so my stuff will be...

    Bring out your dead!

    With the population being trashed by EHD, It stands to reason that ANY BUCK still alive will have a greater chance of getting a bullet. NOT GOOD!!

    Luggage rack advice needed!

    I don't know if you will be close enough to use it, but I've got a receiver hitch luggage rack you can use. IME, using the roof of the car always seems to leave scratches to catch water and rust. Maybe I'm just doing it wrong, but that's just what seems to happen to me. Let me know if you...

    MREs for hunting blind?

    You might be better off bringing a polka band with you on stand if you want to open all the plastic prepacked MRE meals in subfreezing temps. They are LOUD when opening them at 100 degrees F. I can only imagine what they would sound like in zero degrees. You have the main MRE pack, the meal...

    Waterfowl choke tubes

    Most of these after market choke tubes are for longer range shooting, but blow the hell out of stuff in close with the tightened pattern. I'm personally more interested being on the X, calling well, putting the deks up right, and getting the birds in close rather than long bombing them. Bertha...

    Dang scopes~~

    OUCH!! Never been kissed by a scope, but have been shoulder/collarbone/neck/bicep punched by Bertha, my trusted 12ga while attempting to take down geese and ducks from odd angles. 3 inch magnums pack quite a punch when in such situations and I've had the bruises to prove it.

    How many men still know how to butcher???

    Glad to hear it's NOT a lost art. Might be a "cross the river" type of thing. I know I try to pass on as much of that knowledge as I can. To me it's a LIFE SKILL everyone should know how to do. Thanks Fellas!!!

    How many men still know how to butcher???

    In the last few years dealing with youngsters and hunting in MN, I've come to realize that VERY FEW of those that deer hunt know how to skin and butcher a deer, let alone a cow, hog, or other big critter. Most seem to take their deer to a locker to be processed. Many know how to breast out a...
