    Aren't those .243 exit wounds amazing !!! .243 exit wound the size of a golf ball. I once had 1 the size of a baseball. That's with cheap ammo !! My buddy with a .30-06. 150grain ammo. exit wound is .30

    Hydrolic shock.... or something like that. It's the energy that is transferred from the projectile, to the mass. Like a giant shockwave. I read a few articles on it. I forget the exact name, or terminology, but speed kills...

    I passed on many deer because I didn't have my hearing protection on. It's just not worth it. Hearing loss is permanent.

    I know trappers who use corn for bait. Corn attracts more Raccoons than anything else. You will see 20 brazen Raccoons come from 10 miles away to scavenge the corn pile.

    Dicks / Field & Steam sells corn.

    Do NOT use poison !! The animal will seek water outside, and die. Then a Hawk, or Eagle will die from eating a poisoned Squirrel. and the entire food chain will suffer.

    Sun flower seeds as bait.

    So it's like killing a cow and stuffing my freezer.. ok, I can deal with that, but wouldn't call it hunting. I'll call it going to the meat reserve..
  10. the blur
    Did anyone ever hunt there ? I may need to, just to put meat in the freezer. They offer Elk, and exotic deer. I know it's a fenced hunt, but is it on 1000's of acres and semi real ??

    I guess the short time frame alleviates the leaching of oils into the water. But if you ever clean a gutter, there is always shingle particles in the gutter, which will make it into the drywell... no matter what.
  12. the blur
    Let's change the subject for a minute.... I need to install a drywell, drainage cement ring for my barn. So now the roof water, asphalt shingle roof, will be draining into the dirt, about 20' from my garden. I'm not too happy about that, since the roof shingles are oil based. Should I be concerned about oil's leaching into my garden ? The cement ring is certainly deeper than my garden will ever grow,... but you never know...

    Absolutely !! I have a few Raccoon mounts. Cow (female) Elk Mount. Bear Rug. The coolest mount I have is a Raccoon Rug !! No one else has one !!!!
  14. the blur
    There was one yesterday on my lawn eating grass... or digging around. I will definitely get one when they have their winter fur.... and yes, it's getting mounted !

    I saw 1 on Long Island. I was surprised.. but it was a wooded area.

    They are so cute, I'm mounting one !

    Is there a Ground Hog.... Wood Chuck season ? We have 1 eating the garden, and I don't want to take him out of season. I'd rather stuff him for the fireplace mantle in prime fur.

    What is a good plot to grow in the shade ? I'll hack down all the weeds... but there is a nice tree canopy overhead …...
  20. the blur
    Will my seed grow once I douse the area with roundup ? Too bad the deer don't eat weeds !

    Non Typical is what they call it. If they are indeed pumping a caged-in pet steroids.... I wouldn't eat it. Much less shoot it. But each his own. I know some of these farms are 5000 acres, and finding a pet deer in 5000 acres is no easy task..... But hey, I went bear hunting over bait so don't let me judge. But it was a wild bear, and it taste good

    So after applying all those nasty cancer causing chemicals. Can you grow a garden or food plot ?? Or is the area 'done' for years to come ?
  23. the blur
    I have an area that is completely over grown with weeds. 2' high of pure weeds. I figure it's perfect for a food plot. But I can't get equipment in there. Manual labor only...…. Has to be cleared & rotor tilled... No valuable trees growing there.... just invasive thorny trees, and heavy brush. It's a 50x100' area. How do you prevent weeds ????

    I have a ton of squirrels this year. They are very active in the AM. Saw 10 looking out my window.
  25. the blur
    I just installed metal fence post, and a deer barrier. 50x100' garden. 6' high should keep out the deer. I know the birds will still by flying in. Raccoons may not like going over the flexible barrier. Too much movement for them. It's a soft fabric fence material. It's my 1st year. So I have the cams up, to see if I have nuisance animals. If I do, I'll trap them this winter & squirrel hunt opening day.
