Pennsylvania shut things down 2 days ago..... And thats how you are NOT going to get big numbers hopefully. Bitch when the numbers stay small, and then bitch when the numbers get big they didn't do enough. Can't have it both ways. -
Really need a pic with a person in there for scale. Most here would be surprised how small Dexters are, that calf must be tiny. Cool breed to have around.

Hmmmm...sounds like an opportunity. How does one get the virus to target more lawyers? -
Same. Slimy dark meat.

Outfitters in SA love kids in camp.....super safe when on hunting properties. Most all have a suppressed 243 to loan with zero recoil and will let kids take cull impala. Schedule a day trip to a park to see some big 5.

See them quite frequently in the Catskills hiking and hunting. They have made a nuisance of themselves on a few jobs I have done in those areas chewing on vehicles; cut both front brake lines on my truck when left over a weekend. @wooly If you want some huge african porcupine quills send me pm; found one in a poachers snare and saved a handful of quills. Ate some of one whole roasted ungutted in the ground buried in coals.....but thats another story.

I was assigned a bottle of Purell at work today and had to sign for it. I have to turn in the empty if I want another. Had to do an online training about staying safe from viruses.....but the room is shared keyboards with hundreds of users passing through, and nothing in the room to wash hands on. Can't make this shit up. On the upside the grocery store was a madhouse on the way home, BUT, I'm gluten free and lots of that was on the shelves. -
I owned the same Tracker for a few years and had some good times with it fishing around the state......enjoy.

Its true, but; Acidic foods and those that contain vitamin C are required to really take advantage of the iron. Iron from other food sources like red meat are absorbed different in the body, the vitamin C helps in absorption. I was diagnosed severe anemic due to advanced Celiac disease and cooking on some old cast iron is part of my program to increase iron intake, but its just a very small part for me. For those that screw up and burn something in their pans; just throw the whole thing into a fire or woodstove. You'll burn out all the carbon and oils and you start with the pan like when made. Then season as usual with several heating and cooling cycles. (I use a high temp oil myself)

Saying 330lbs (I'm guessing it was originally stated at 150KG)... Red Stag.......fallow about size of whitetail, and roe is much smaller, like a out of spots whitetail fawn

This has got to be the dumbest f*&^ing thing I have ever read after 30 years in construction..... I use a worm drive 50% of the time now, used to be 100% (by their logic thats a left hand saw) If you die by an electric saw (either hand), you deserve to be culled from the gene pool. More than 2,500 left-handed people are killed each year due to using right-handed products. Right handed power saws are the most deadly. -

30 seconds after I leave, the place I work for will be looking for a replacement. I'm taking as many days off as possible. -
Intro I remember best is first up in this clip with the NHL shield......good stuff.

Did you see that benchrest record set last week? BAT action with a Brux barrel...16 lbs...but not a sled gun. 1.068" at 1000 YARDS(!) https://www.gunsamerica.com/digest/benchrest-shooter-1000-yard-group/?fbclid=IwAR1iTYIJG5oUnV2Hcw6Bw_0A1JA07uyzantGyhhE2KhrKZg7p3YvG_NuoUQ I knew a benchrest guy in Long Island and went to Pa with him once. You could cover his groups at a 1000 with your hand.

Chota hippies are lightweight roll down hip high stocking foot wader /gaiters for this. I use regular hiking boot with them and they have served me well when doing multiple caribou trips and any shore fishing. Warm and dry, and rolled down so they don't get hot when covering dry ground. Good for rain and walking in wet fields too. I can't get any of the rubber/neoprene style boots to fit, so not an option for me.

It also wasn't live for most people in the US, it was tape delayed. But I watched it live with my dad on Canadian tv out of Toronto as we had a huge antenna on the house in Buffalo and frequently watched Canadian hockey broadcasts......dad is a hockey nut.

I have the 5lb LEM vertical with the plastic tubes. I think the casing slides off easier JMO. 100's of pounds through that unit without a hitch. Beef, pork,venison. You can't stuff good sausage with a grinder, adds too much heat and you get hotdog consistency. Fat smears. After I grind and mix, I make softball size balls of meat and put them in a tray for the freezer to keep cool. Then you can quickly load for stuffing. Good fat handling needs to have everything ice cold, if my hands don't hurt from the cold, the ingredients are to warm.

Now I want a lobster mount.

This is where I'd tell you that my experience says this is not so. I've worked for a fair amount of people who most would consider wealthy......chairman Nike NA, heir to John Deere fortune, CEO Phillip Morris, president Little Brown publishing, heir to PPG corp fortune......folks who land their private helicopter on the lawn to look at the progress on a house. They all have a common instinct; to better their position financially. We've gone round on a $500 legitimate upcharge on a $4000 bill for a project that will cost $4 MILLION dollars. And this isn't some lackey or personal assistant making the call, they get right into it themselves. And then they buy a $5000 toilet for the master bathroom. Its the game, they don't care what a billion dollar buys; they know 1 billion and one dollar is more. And more is better.

I wasn't kidding when I haven't seen this kind of number in 20 years back when I started booking hunts. The add ons in Tanzania like $4000 charters have always kept me away. This is a drive into camp hunt after a commercial, in country, puddle jumper. And cheaper than a South African buffalo ranch hunt on 2 areas totaling 1.2 MILLION acres; about 2x the size of Dutchess county. 2019 46" bull Good luck, I have had quite a few good deals lined up for hunts and once you ask for the money you get a bunch of excuses and crickets. But its still a great idea!

Selous hunt in October this year. Fly into Dar es Salaam(JFK to Dar about $800 via Emirates thru Dubai) Outfitter offering 2 buffalo on a 10 day licence(8 days hunting) for $17,500 all inclusive except airfare/dip and pack/tips. But he's willing to split quota for 2 hunters/1 PH for just cost of 2nd licence......so less than $10K each for East Africa hunt. Limited plains game; focus on bulls over 40" with mid 40's possible.(that's VERY good). Need a 375hh legal minimum
-
How about a Cape Buffalo in Tanzania for unreal price I haven't seen in 20 years with a top operator. AND he even owns a Sako 375 lefty that's perfect for the trip.

Frankly you wouldn't get me on one of those 5000 person germ factories if you gave it to me and paid me....but thats me. Flights are bad enough. I sent my parents to Alaska on a cruise for their 50th about 8 years ago and booked them on a small boat cruise. Service was impeccable but its not cheap like the big people barges.
