I have never aged venison on purpose . Always processed it asap and no problems . I have a 10 cu ft fridge in the garage now and that should help things .

That's fine if you have a walk in cooler. I wonder if cutting it up in large chunks and refrigerating does the same thing ??? Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

The Bronx is Upstate to New York City folks .....

What ever happened to Rodney King ? Can't we all get along !

Foreign ? Were they from new York City ?

So , what is the right age or should daddy decide ?

I think there should be SET age .limit and a 14 year old is more mature than a 12,11,10 year old . I read the responses in the original article and some folks thought 7 or 8 was a fine age for a youngster to hunt and the parent should be able to make the choice . I have also seen hunt videos with little BillyBob sitting on daddy's knee and the father is doing almost everything except pulling the trigger . To me , it's just a means to get more tags that can be filled out by a family .

Looks like another way for dad to get that extra buck . There are a lot of dumb people out in the woods and some of them shouldn't have kids let alone kids that hunt . There should be a set age limit . 12 should be the cutoff . 3 of my grandkids have lifetime licenses . One is going to be 10 in November and the twins are 7 . They have been taught safety but I know many who havn't because they have been schooled by a dumb parent .

Gut the deer , put in trailer and head for home . Hang the deer in the garage . Skin it , cut it up and put in totes in a Fridge . Then come the rest of the work to clean ( get rid of the silver skin ) , grind and package the meat . Too warm to leave it hanging . No more processors for me !

I have done a lot of this but it's always funny when someone else it . My wife was talking on her cell phone and shuffling things around on the counter and other places . We were going to leave the house in a couple minutes . I asked her what she was looking for and she said her phone . I asked her what the hell she was talking on and she got red faced .

Look on top of your head . Oh , wait , that's your glasses !

I should leave things alone . I am using 78 GB out of 905 GB . Plenty of room on my computer .

Well , at least they are in a safe place !

Woodchucks !

I still have a difficult time falling asleep the night before deer season opens . Any other time I can go to sleep in a couple minutes .

I have only seen a couple with faint spots in Mid October over the years . As of Aug 30 , 31 , they are still holding their spots pretty well .

Here are a couple Hand Crank Reviews from Cabelas http://www.cabelas.com/product/hunting/archery/crossbows-accessories/crossbow-cocking-devices|/pc/104791680/c/104693580/sc/333154080/i/337643280/excalibur-c2-crank-cocking-aid/727998.uts?destination=%2Fcategory%2FCrossbow-Cocking-Devices%2F337643280.uts http://www.cabelas.com/product/hunting/archery/crossbows-accessories/crossbow-cocking-devices|/pc/104791680/c/104693580/sc/333154080/i/337643280/parker-sidewinder-cocking-device/746122.uts?destination=%2Fcategory%2FCrossbow-Cocking-Devices%2F337643280.uts

Thanks for the input . When Windows was no longer supporting XP , I bought a new computer with Windows 8.1 . I like what I have here . I use Mozilla FireFox as I founf Internet Explorer too slow . Once in a while I use Chrome GOOGLE but never IE . I guess I will stick with what I have ( 8.1 ) . If it works , don't fix it !

Larry , did you have both eyes done ? I was told that if you had the LASIK for close up , it would mess up your distance . Is this true ?

I have had significant hearing loss . When I was in The Marine Corps we didn't have any hearing protection when shooting a rifle or the 81mm mortors . Worked several years in the Fabrication area of a large company . Part of it was in the the Punch Press area aka The Boob Boom Room . 800 ton presses pounding away . The operators had hearing protection but we in management didn't . When my mother in law passed away I inherited her hearing aids that she only wore a couple times because she didn't like them and had them set for my hearing . Amazing the sounds I pick up when wearing them . I don't wear them hunting as I am afraid of losing them . They originally cost around 5 grand . I sometimes smell the deer before I see them .

Personally , I can't answer that as I don't know . If we can knock trail cams by brand or model , etc , how much different is that than a bad experience with a crank on a crossbow ? Hopefully Burmjon will see this and have an answer .

I presently have Windows 8.1 and like it . I keep getting notices to update to Windows 10 . Does anyone have this ? Is it any better than Windows 8 or 8.1 ?

They only come out at night ....... except for the fawns
