Well round 2 with the pizza oven. Followed up with Caramel apple banana cobbler. Did that in the pizza oven as well

and HVAC companies that are being hired to bring the systems into compliance.

it is usually some sort of dye. They sell powders to add to the water and you can even use things like black walnuts. The "airing out" is usually for scent on foot hold traps. I am not certain about how Water rat is gong to be setting for Otter but for things like beaver and muskrat and using the body gripping traps under water there is no need to worry about scent. Even the trail sets that I use for coon that are body gripping sets the coons don't seem mind scent on them at all.

my experience is that the big bucks are easier to pattern in the first half of October, especially if you are lucky enough to be hunting on food sources. Once they start looking for a date she'll determine where he goes and ends up. But boy I sure enjoy when the boys are on there feet and can show up at any time. As much as I enjoy this I hate sweating and swatting bugs as much...lol

gottcha.

whether we are talking about a stick bow, compound, x bow, ML or firearms, people need to know their limitations and the limitations of their equipment. That is a large part of taking an ethical shot. You were confident you could take that shot and make it and you did. I've only shot about 4 deer outside of 20 yards with an arrow. Waiting for the right shot isn't the worst thing in the world. And let's be honest. We've all seen the stories on here and other sites of folks that are "experienced" bow hunters. Every year there are shots that probably shouldn't have been taken. I'll be seeing him tonight and I'll check if he still wants in. I think it would be neat to chronicle.

but do you NEED to be able to put all your arrows in a 12 ring to ethically harvest a deer?

I knew that is where you were going but I am a pretty good shooter all the way around (don’t listen to Moog’s stories about me missing coyotes. Lol). It isn’t because of the practice I don’t think. The darn thing is so front heavy and just awkward. It’s certainly worse to hold on target than a firearm. With a rest it isn’t even close. My crossbow will out perform my compound consistently.

Compound and the recurve even more now that I am using that.

here is reality. the best bet that we ALL don't end up with it is a vaccine. To put it in perspective, even with a vaccine we lose 45,000-60,000 to influenza. how many people have you killed in your life by transferring that virus?

Viral load of Norovirus is around 20 and most I see agree this is as, if not , more contageous.

My laughter was becasue to say it was no different and then list the ways it is struck me funny.

I own both and can put my Hoyt out there to 50 yards and maintain a great grouping. The crossbow is without a doubt easier to use but I will say if I had to take a 50 yard off hand shot with it or my compound with a $100 on the table if I got a Bull. I'd pick up my compound.

Chris. I didn't see anyone contradict what you said in that post. What has everyone steamed is the comment that with a modern compound you can have a person proficient enough to go out and kill a deer inside 30 yards within a couple hours of practice. (I think 20 is much more realistic for a first timer even if they practiced a lot) would that have been possible with bows like my old Bear whitetail? Sure wouldn't seem it to me but the bows of today are nothing like 30 years ago.

I have no idea if that works after freezing. I do know it is a viable option as soon as it's sealed. Not sure what happens tot he enzymes and such in the meat. I imagine it could work because the meat will actually rot. (which, let's all be honest, aging is the initial stage of rotting)

Nothing different ...EXCEPT....lol

That isn't even close to what I have read. I'd love to see that source.

I'll tell you guys what. I'll do a little experiment. You all may remember that last year was my first season hunting with a recurve. I let a buddy use my bow so it was adjusted to him. I will be getting that back in my hands since he picked up a new Matthews (I know, no accounting for taste). I asked my daughters boy friend if he wanted to learn to bow hunt. Last year was his first year hunting and until he went through the Field to Fork program he barely had any firearms experience. SO I'll set it up for him and record the results of his shooting and the time involved.

This should mean great things for our mission and Whitetail efforts. The Devil is in the detail but I like what I am hearing so far. https://www.qdma.com/qdma-and-nda-to-become-a-unified-deer-organization/?fbclid=IwAR2VABfDev6ph8WjxWXVZnUEGLEawsvpw-PdJUH3wI5RQ0ygboUOrzZZt3E PS....no effect on your gun raffle...lol

that is awesome but in reality, absolutely not needed to harvest a deer inside 30 yards.

so what it the viral load required for to contract COVID?

They are not certain but the medical community believes it is very very small quantity. Much less viral load than say influenza. Viruses replicate exponentially and short of intentional infection there is no way to know for sure what the actual load is. It only takes less than 20 particles of norovirus to cause a sever infection. There is one study from China I heard referenced that suggests the viral load variations had no bearing in the severity of Covid (Taken with a Grain of salt since it is coming out of China). There was an influenza study that concluded for that virus the higher the viral load the more severe the illness. They just don’t know for this one yet. I was using an extreme example to illustrate a point but even if the load required is twice as high as norovirus how many virus particles are in a single sneeze? I’ve seen reports that a single Sneeze could have up to 200 million virus particles. (Depending on the stage of illness, worst when symptoms just present). Add in velocity of a cough to 50 mph and a sneeze to 200 mph or over and that is a lot of force. But how about the asymptomatic folks. They are walking amongst us. I think it is naive to think if 200 million particles are expelled and that a coarse weave mask is any help at all. Water droplets from a Sneeze or cough in the 5 micron range can stay airborne a long time depending on air flow. So hitch .12 micron corona virus on the particles and tell me the masks most are wearing mean anything. Yes a N95 will take out 95% above .1 microns but how many people have you seen with N95 masks. And that is only if worn properly. I’ve seen improper fit evaluations as high as a 60% efficiency reductions Relying on what most people are wearing is akin to using a piece of yarn as a lanyard in a tree stand. It may slow you down some but is it even noticeable or spraying a fire hose through a screen door. In my opinion. And I know what they say about opinions

Most do not wear those. All it takes is one virus to infect. Social distancing and hygiene is the most effective. That isn’t me. That is medical professionals. Is really like to see the numbers and expanding of antibody testing. The states they are touting as having this big resurgence have extremely low death rates. Rope death rates per million is currently NJ and NY per million. Out here in Rochester at Strong there hasn’t been a patient with COVID in ICU in a week. Even longer since the last ventilator case
