Yes Jerkman I have... both a calf muscle and my rt forearm,that's why there are only puncture scars...Oh and our cat...the fox terrier got his head in it's mouth...just wrapped my fingers around her esophagus and lightly squeezed...quick release...Didn't want to hurt her we'd just gotten her back from being bred to the wire haired that won the American kennel club best in show. The breeder would have been very upset...lol

Good luck... winds howled all night and to be honest...I like not being sore all over from hunting. I turned off alarm...may go out tonight.

do not for get if using sawyers and you have cats...keep them away...it can kill or make your cats seriously ill... I have to be very careful during turkey season...our cat likes to sleep on my hunting clothes when they are on the porch...

Nice place you have there...

Culver ...just because your in the construction business doesn't mean you know anything...lol Our cousins built a off grid cabin on their farm ...just to get away from their house...lol anyways they have both wind and solar and a big bank of batteries...works GREAT runs everything Now I know personally having had our well contaminated...buying drinking water can be expensive over time... we (2) go through 4, 5 gal bottles a week just for drinking and coffee. We boil all our other water save for showers and the washing machine... So getting a well in pronto will be a priority. Are you in an area that you can get propane delivered...because a big tank for cooking hot water and back up heat would make life easier...believe me on back up heat...We stayed a weekend at our camp to cut fire wood...small 2 bedroom one story...that is normally a hot box with the wood burning stove...We were up ALL night lock stoking that fire when temps dropped to 15 below zero...ya never did that again... as far as insulation... Do not underestimate the need to insulate under you and have good air flow involved...even though you'll be there 24/7 poor air flow and improperly done insulation will rot and mold everywhere...

Treeguy ... Thanks...here's some GOOD advise if that ever does happen. Do not pull away at that point..,it's too late...as fast as possible and with all your strength hold it's head to your leg ,arm what ever until it unlocks it's jaw then drop your weight into it while grabbing just it's esophagus... your fingers should be able to fold right into it and squeeze like your life depends on it...you'll either crush it or choke it out.... most damage is done by pulling away or the dog shaking and certain breeds have this jaw loc they do. It's either a matter of strength and will or ability to choke them out that will minimize the damage. Fear at that point is your enemy

Thanks..I have always said I would only change one thing in my life...My mother would have had a better life,she gave me my heart as it were...

William Johnson? are you asking victim? That sounds familar

No my mother died when I was 12 after many years of beatings and abuse...Things like him going down the highway at 70 mph and reaching past her opening the car door and trying to shove her out...me in the back seat screaming...or pounding her in the head until blood ran from her ears and when I tried to stop him, 9yrs old..chasing me barefoot through broken glass until my feet were slice up and I couldn't run any more and beating me with a belt buckle...that sort of stuff Biz This isn't for a hunting site..but you ask I'll answer. The point was No ,LEO's aren't always so good in all areas and unfortunately at certain times in history...they were at my house a lot as a kid...but he was never arrested,just held a while Whos going to believe kids when they say their dad locked the family up in the basement and threatened to break the sewer line so we'd die from the sewr gases... I mean really..but we believed him...

My Browning 20ga...it's about the only gun I use other than the rim fire 22...

I know you think this funny Jerkman...I don't I lived it...right to the 1 or so a.m. phone call where I popped up in bed and yelled to Mr B he's doing it now. I answered to a screaming step sitter on a payphone screaming he's killing us...I told her to run to the rail tracks and hide and we called for someone to watch our daughter and headed out...See He was my Father which is why I knew what a monster he really was...Too bad no one listened.

No no time...she went to the psychiatrist...manipulated them into calling me. She had the BD carrying a gun as well but this was New Years Eve and she hadn't planned on him shooting up the bar in the restaurant I knew because he always picked Holidays to inflict mayhem on his family I told the sheriff that Christmas would be his trigger...he waited until New Years Eve....He nearly killed a few people by standing at the door to the bar and shooting through the window because the BD was sitting on the end stool in front of the door. He then shot out one of the floor to ceiling windows and walked through that reloading as he went to the dinning room /kitchen door. He said the only thing he felt bad about was the guy had young kids...but he'd do it again....

No she was a waitress and yes pretty much it Steve..though Biz she wasn't shot...should have been For she actually set the whole thing up thinking it would be her husband shot or arrested not her Lover. Now NO she wasn't shot...and as far as I know she is still alive...but Karma has been busy in her and her kids lives ever since. She took him back after prison and they lived together for 20 or so years until he died of pancreatic cancer. The victims kids grew up with out a dad...Seven 7yrs for premeditated murder. Yes his plan worked...EVEN though I sat in a police station while a man hunt was going on telling them there is NO WAY he would commit suicide. He was to much in love with himself...but that was the plan he purchased hose ,and tape, drove to a farm field some where out by Caledonia I believe, and hooked it all up... Then got out and walked to a near by house and said I'm the guy they are looking for call the police...They took his mental state into account...They did a back door plea because his lawyer threatened to drag the whole mess through the news. That said this has nothing to do with these dogs I was JUST answering Apexs post.....with an example

They are a bit more careful when finally responding after knowing how not, in another case ,got my neighbor bit...When they are told their warnings have lead to night time running. When shown pics of dead live stock being eaten by neighbors dogs and accounts of hospital stays due to neighbors dogs attacking... They don't like being in the public eye when this stuff gets out..those are pit bulls..if something bad happens..not to me but someone else..What do you think I'll do..in a heart beat....

As I said the problem is the ownership they aren't dealt with then they will just go out and ruin more dogs. Then I'm at square one. I have no problem killing a dog that charges me if I have a weapon..been there done that. No SSS I Called it in,I had nothing to hide. I was just dang lucky I was still in my hunting clothes and carrying my shot gun. I will not carry a gun every time I'm on my land to feel safe,though I usually have my own trained dog with me. She wouldn't stand a chance against these two dogs in an attack,I won't worry about that...let the authorities find the owners...I have no problem going to court. With cop testimonies and pictures the last 3 yrs are all documented in calls, e-mails..all saved, public dated accounts after they happened ,and pictures. My "jobs" done,let the authorities do theirs.

This has to be said..Errusell you are a very nieve person on this issue. Your statement tells me you have no idea what goes on in the brains of these pets that are out there on a hunt. I hope you never learn. This has nothing to do with chasing deer.. my first encounter with them was my being chased and having to call 911. Not hunting,just trying to get my mail.

You couldn't guess? I said I was sitting next to a potential victim his wife...how would you figure the school bus driver figured in on this. Just before he cut him in half begging for his life on a greasy restaurant kitchen floor,after blowing his shoulder off . His wife walked through the bar door to the kitchen . He said " This is her fault ". Then pulled both triggers. New Years eve ,well day, 84. She was a serial slut

Biz he bought a brand new double barrel shot gun ...when never having a gun before...his mother had passed and the house was empty...he hid the gun at her house..I told them what weapon he was going to use...and Where to find said weapon...He told myself and 4 others he was going to committee the murder and how he planned on getting away with it or a reduced sentence...All this told to the sheriff in great detail, then told what other police detective to call to show he was capable of doing this....You know they even made him a trustee while he was awaiting a trial that never happened to protect the sheriff office...So that should answer Apex's idea of our local LEO..things haven't gotten much better over the last 35 yrs.,..Gosh Biz that's mild to somethings I know of first hand....

We use the leaf blower with gutter attachment.

Well that limits the amount you can offer..also his buying the land out right for access and at that price made that property better. Then figure he paid 4,500 per acre for that access....looks like a fair price.

So He's smart..Now big question...realtor involved or private sale.

Is that access rd part of the actual property or some sort of right of way owned by another?...not all ROW deals are equal and some could expire or cause a payment..IE..we have the camp neighbor a septic 1acre piece for a Certain price to be paid to us when land changes hands.. we also share the road with them. Any maintenance is share per written agreement . Now is an agency involved? That makes a. Big difference. If not, do you know the people at all?

OMG How cute! look at those ears! Enjoy male or female

Turnips,soybeans,(great)turnip greens, oats, Chestnuts,apples grapes all part of plots...ect...ect..
