  1. But is you want to stay on "topic" the OP was not about raising the age structure. It was bout genetically altering a wild herd. Can't be done.
  2. Venison Snack Sticks 15# of fine ground Venison 6 Tablespoons of canning salt 1-1/2 Tablespoons of Tender Quick® 1-1/2 Tablespoons of Accent® seasoning 2 Tablespoons of Garlic Powder 2 Tablespoons of granulated Garlic 5 teaspoons of cayenne pepper powder 4 teaspoons of Black Peper 15 Tablespoons of water (1 Tablespoon short of 1 cup) Recipe suggested instructions. Combine the salt, Tender Quick® and Accent® with the ground deer meat. Knead the meat thoroughly to mix in the salt mixture. Place the meat in the refrigerator for two days, mixing well twice each day. Before mixing for the last time, add the remaining ingredients. (For dehydrator use add 6 Tablespoons of Liquid Smoke) form into 2” diameter discs about ½” thick and dehydrate. MY INSTRUCTIONS Combined all ingredients in a large container. Lightly sprinkle dry ingredients over as you mix to avoid clumping and uneven distribution. MIX well….when you think it is enough…mix more. Using a sausage stuffer or stuffing tub on a grinder stuff mixture into 19mm or 21mm collagen casings (not the brown ones) the 21mm casing take more time in the smoker. DO not try to mix the two sizes in one batch. Avoid having casings touch in the smoker. I was using a Propane smoker. Set smoker to 150 and open vent. Place sticks in smoker for 1 hour with no wood added. Should about make the casing feel tacky to the touch. I added Mesquite chips at this point increased the smoker temp to 170 and left them in until they were done. I like a smoky flavor. The overall time in the smoker was about 5-1/2 hours for the 19mm and 7 hours for the 21mm sticks. I didn’t use a thermometer. I smoked until they were firm and snapped when bent. I don’t like mushy snack sticks but I don’t like tree twigs either. For a lighter smoky flavor keep chips in for first half the time at 170 degrees. Also other woods like Hickory (heavier smoke flavor) or Apple and Cherry (lighter flavor) will work too. This fall I am going to do a recipe that uses Maple wood and adds Maple syrup to the mix. After cooling cut to desire length. I vacuum seald in packages 6' long and 8 sticks in each. THen into he Freezer. TIPS Cool at room temp (DO NOT COOL IN THE FRIDGE It will cause condensation and introduce moisture to the sticks). I was on a schedule but I would have like to let the mixture sit in the fridge overnight prior to stuffing to let the ingredients settle throughout the mix. Have a 3/8” stuffing tube for both casings. The 21mm just make it on the ½” tube and it isn’t fun. The 19mm will not make it on a ½” tube. We had to hold the 19mm casing in front of the ½’ tube and it was a 3 man operation.
  3. That is just WRONG!!!! I carry a small can of model spray aint in brown to cover those up...just to avoid public opinion issues...lol
  4. Next barrel for my Encore is going to be a quarter bore....just haven't decided which one. I am leaning this way though.
  5. FOrgot to post it before. I will throw it in the sectio tomorrow. They came out great. first two deer are going to the grinder this year.
  6. Stack them up like cord wood. I have a bunch more of these I need to make.
  7. It is all about averages, Dave...lol The big ones make up for the little ones taken
  8. Dave is right...at 3.5 he still has growing to do. he could branch more typical points in the upcoming years or he could sprout non typicals. either way I think he has growing to do yet
  9. Any decisions you make on a property that small are about equivilant to pushing a rope. NO decisions you make will change the genetic potential in the local deer. Unless you are fencing that property just decide if you have wall space.
  10. "Mr. distributor, I would like 2 bricks of .22, 5 boxes of steel brid shot, 3 boxes of 30-06, 3 boxes of 22-250, 2 boxes of 30-30" Why can't i have them? That is what I will be using to hunt this fall. Bottom line it is just another "feel good" law that will do nothing. So I get banged a bit more for shipping, if I am a criminal I will just place several orders under the limit. or travel to multiple stores and purchase under the limit.
  11. Hey...someone built it backwards. no wonder they were selling it. Nice gun

  15. just stick you index finger in the hole and apply enough pressure to adjust as desired.
  16. http://www.sight-master.com/ I use these and there is an attachment I am putting on this year so you only need one finger to adjust the yardage.TOUCH MASTER III
  17. You may be right. last year in 8H I don't think they issued all they wanted in even the second go around.
  18. On the Duke----I wish...lol. On the Cousin.---- He hasn't amounted to anything since
  19. there are a few areas up there that offer them. Has been that way for a while everything in Yellow on the map is not open to DMP's though
  20. My Uncle had one in a 94. I think it had the big lever loop and the saddle ring. I always loved that gun as a young kid and maybe my young memory isn't right. My cousin got it when my Uncle died and he sold it for gas and beer money.....cousin never hunted.
  21. 20 guage 16 guage 12 guage 10 guage---1 doe on a dare and I think it hammered me more than it did her..lol 22-250 (on nuisance tags) 30-30 308 win 30-06 50 cal ML (on my to do list----308 win pistol------.357 mag-----223 Remington)
  22. 32 special is a lever action round ...similiar to the 30-30...wish I had one.
  23. 8H and 7R...both High for First and for Second.
  24. Two totally different goals for the two schemes. The DMP's are for heard population control. the AR's...well I guess the jury is still out on why these are needed. According to the DEC it is a social desire and has no biological benefit. Like Doc said, Doesn't seem to be many in a gray area...either for or against.
