Take a closer look,I don"t think thats a tail.It looks too far off to the side of the animal.Are there hogs in the area?

Looks like prehistoric woodchuck that has developed from a pig with a tail? Funny

Take 2 pounds of boneless goose breast add 6 cups of chicken broth add 2 chopped carrots 3 diced potatos 3 chopped stalks of celery bring to boil add old work boot simmer for 3 hours remove old work boot throw remaining contents on the garden and eat the work boot.

I planted rape, turnips and radishes in one plot and clover and oats in another plot on August 19th last year.. They did great, but I was lucky having a fair amount of rain.. Good luck.

did you google "cooking rats." That might be helpful.

They have had that season for quite a few years, Biz... Of course it is a draw... Tags are easier to draw if you apply for a non-typical tag, which usually means an animal with a point broken off..

Editor's Notebook: Giving Away Civil Rights A few weeks back, the news reported that a young man with previous felony convictions was at an all-night drug store in Florida - in the parking lot, more precisely. As the story goes, he asked a stranger if he was interested in buying a gun. The stranger was interested and, as our hero was "producing" the gun, it "accidentally fired." The stranger was shot in the thigh, his femur shattered. The midnight salesman had five prior arrests for Burglary, Aggravated Battery and Domestic Violence. As this was after midnight on a public access parking lot - a strange place for such a transaction - we have a case of violation of the "stupid rules" - going (or remaining at) stupid places, with stupid people and doing stupid things. But no. A response to this from a commenter was this: people who are too stupid to own guns will cause the Natural Rights of Man to be overturned - even if to do so requires a dictatorial and illegitimate regime. The argument was that something needs to be done about the irresponsible - perhaps mandatory training, like Switzerland. My response -- Really? Just as soon as we do something with people too stupid to drive (many licensed drivers) and people too stupid to hold public office, we can address that. No, I was told. "They" are focused on guns. "They" are not discussing the huge death and injury rates due to misuse of motor vehicles. "They" are looking at the right to own a gun. It's our duty to find a way to stop giving them reasons to take them. You know, they might get mad at us. How are you going to fight this? I shouldn't have to say this to someone who's "on our side," but let's break it down. (1) The offender is a prohibited possessor by federal (and doubtless state) statute. He's already a criminal law violator. Hitting his "lack of training" is of dubious import. That he broke the "felon in possession" statue leads me to believe he's not going to be a good student at gun safety class - which, if he were to handle a firearm during the class, he'd be looking at mandatory federal prison time. (2) "They are looking at the right to own a gun." Who is "they" and who gave them the right violate Natural Law? Besides, "they" are looking at disarming you. Feeding them another legislative and bureaucratic victory only serves to make them hungrier. Do you remember the 1934 NFA, the 1968 GCA, 1986 FOPA gun ban, Brady, 1994 Clinton gun ban, NICS and now the "Kagan 4473" law? It's like the "National CCW Reciprocity" attempt, simply a way to get "regulators over rights." "They" are incrementalists. Feeding them yet another increment emboldens them. (3) I realize they're not interested in cutting down major accidental death stats -- motor vehicles -- because that doesn't fit the agenda. (4) As to fighting the war when they come for them, I've been fighting them since 1968. You want something pre-emptive? Support organizations that sue governments for their prohibitionist nonsense. Support pro-rights legislation in your state. Vote out gun-grabbers. The "leaders of the country" do care -- they're elitists who think we're too stupid to stop them. Being useful to the enemy is something that really irks me. I'd like to tell you I just set up the straw man, an argument intentionally designed to be easily destroyed - but this really happened, courtesy of one of the good guys. There are people on our side who really believe that nonsense. It's time we all learned. "We must, indeed, all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately." (Attributed to Benjamin Franklin) -- Rich Grassi

This is a great point. So many guys tend to over-bow themselves .... even guys that should know better. That point reminds me of the time that I was shooting my bow set at 70 pounds. I was shooting regular weekly league competitions all summer with this bow, and never any sign of strain. But then there came a day late in the bow season where the temperature was very cold, and I had spent a few hours, hunched up, braced against the 20 degrees and the wind. Every muscle was tensed up fighting that cold. The shoulders were all scrunched up and hands jammed in my pockets .... you get the picture. Yup, sure enough along came a deer and I absolutely could not pull back that same bow that I had been shooting NFAA field rounds all summer with ease. The point is that when you are shooting at the edge of your capability, any little problem may wreck opportunities for you. Also, I have to add that struggling against excessive poundage is a great way to permanently install crappy shooting form that you may never be able to break later. And yet another point: You are always hearing about these guys with screwed up shoulders from years of shooting bows that their particular build was never meant to be pulling. Heavy poundage is a great way to cut your archery years short.

Get-Er-Doneeee !!!!

I'll add to the suggestion of not buying based on a magazine. Buy what feels right and is within your price range. Compounds have not changed significantly in the last 10 years. There are tweaks here and there but an older used Mathews, Hoyt, PSE etc is where most beginners should start. Like a used car, get it checked out by a good shop. Good luck

85 days until bow season I can't wait

Got to love them leaking shoulder shots on Gemsbok Grizz.... Good luck on the hunt.

All mentioned above are good options. How many acres u have to nsity?plant and what is your density? Corn and soybeans get get wiped out pretty fast. My winter food consists of corn, beans, wr, brassica/radish and ww. If your deer ea rthen brassica, I would plant that again....hands down produces the most tonage per acre. Just make sure you rotate your crops or plant something in the spring in those brassica plots if you can't rotate.

LOL!! you use to have to blow the dust off of boxes of .22 after you took them off the shelf !!!... Not anymore

This guy (Al) I get my gravel mix from has this slice of history in good running condition. Thought I would share a pic.

Thanks all, and Happy bday to phade, enjoy your 30th ! Its my 30th plus some.....( ah a lot of some)

Well, shave my a** and call me NANCY !...hehehehehe....

What a bunch of wimmens. Ooooo, a 300 Win Mag......it may hurt my mangina if i pull the trigger. Take up needle point if you can't figure out shot selection and bullet construction choice. Besides who cares about a cup full of meat when there is a set of antlers?

Not much meat in the lungs and a higher percentage target.

In the past men gave their lives for their beliefs.It was not considered foolish, but an act of bravery .Anyone remember the words "GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH " , liberty is vanishing very fast...

Anyone who is willing to comply with the SAFE Act law is just helping the anti-gun politicians to proceed to the next step. What will that be? Bans on all semi auto rifles? All handguns? All Semi auto shotguns? When do you guys decide to grow a pair and say, "I will not comply!" When guns are outlawed, I'll become an Outlaw! And that ain't just talk!
