  1. Nyc gets most its power from niagra falls..45 minutes from me..but we dont get any of it..buffalo is a dump of a city these days..worked there for 11 yrs..only thing those people have is hope for a sports title..weve come so close..no goal..wide right..
  2. Why do the rangers have every third day games..and sabers have every other day?
  3. Its snowing....been off and on all day..right now its actually tough to see accross the st
  4. If they were to show up here..an all yr anytime season would be in order..cant say i would hate pork in the freezer too
  5. Shoulda pulled miller..ended up loosin anywhoo
  6. All i kno is a puck to the head isnt recomended
  7. Whats wrong with a young man joining in with the guys? Ya think there was caveboy early season? How did man ever pass on hunting tradition to youth without a youth hunt.
  8. My opinion is that its a load of crap..ive gone with a neighbors kid to try to get it on video..but found myself wonderin why..how ever did anyone 10 yrs ago at that age get a bird..and if ya take yer kid regular season..let him hammer the first one..then ya got issues of overcallin and i feel the birds wise up..good intentioned..but i see it as a good excuse for abusers to get another tag
  9. Also would like to add that it aids in the preservation of the meat as well..dont think id like the idea of tainted meat in my freezer along with my other meats ...jmo
  10. Thats cool..im sure no one would die..but wet dirty leaves and such are filled with icky stuff..poo from gutting and pee and such..like i say too..water treatment used chlorine to kill contaminates outta water..a cap in 5gal is minute
  11. Many of you gents cut yer own meat..so im preachin to the choir.. My dad didnt teach me to hunt, however, he did own a meat cutting store..not to be confused with a butcher where the animal was killed, hung, then cut. I worked there for several yrs before he shut it down..and skinned hundreds..if not thousands of deer durring the season..it surprised me how many people brought in deer not completely gutted or stinky from sitting at the bar gloating over their take..so heres what i do for myself to be happy with the preperations of deer meat..keep in mind its my opinion..but its suggested by my dad..an expert id say.. First and foremost..clean out the gut area thouroughly! From the windpipe to the butthole and balls..if it makes it easier for ya..cut the hide away right to the ribs..this small amount of belly meat will be scrap anyway..after i gut my deer its a rush to get it cool..especially for early bow when its warm. As soon as the deer is hung at my house i skin it..its easier when warm..and lets the heat out..i drag the hose out and rinse the deer off.. A trick i use for removal of excess hair is take a propane torch and wave it over the take..not to close to shrink membrane on the meat..but close enough to burn hair off..do this in a well ventalated area..haha. After that i fill a 5gal bucket(clean) with water and add just a capful of bleach..stir..then final rinse the deer..this helps kill bacteria and such..ive been asked "bleach"..its the chlorine that kills bacteria..much like in a water treatment plant.. Once thats all set i pack the cavity with bags o ice to again try to keep the meat cool as fast as possible I will then leave it a day so it will cool thouroughly and then quarter it up and cut er down..i quarter by pulling the front arms away from the body and cutting into the armpit to the backbone..the front arms are only held on by cartilage so to absorb the wicked jumps..then when im ready i will seperate the ribs and lower back from the backlegs with a hacksaw just where the spine meets the hips.. Hope this helps some of you rooks or even ol timers to better keep and prepare your bounty.. Again..only opinions here
  12. I have tried all sorts of different things since i started doin these..and when you leave the hide on it shrinks..pulling most everything off with it..quite greusome looking..but removing the hide and scrapeing seemed to cook the meat to the bone..rather than removing it..ever over boil a hotdog?.. My first head i boiled(glowing eyes) the nose and lower jaw were pertruding from the mouth..and i could actually hear my brain fart..i was confused at what had happened..looked like a wet dog had swollowed a skull.. Dont worry bout the antlers in the water either(but try not to)..i do cut the ears off tho
  13. Hey arrow..right theres living proof that even a crossbow cant always kill the game its after...and aim looks a little off too
  14. Tough enough to smell it whilst cookin..(i do throw a couple pine branches in the water for smell)..besides i wouldnt waste beer in that..haha..the fore mentioned glowing eyes were produced by one of the ol ladys "missing" easter decorations..runs on 2 AA
  15. Threw the whole head..fur and all in..then it falls apart..and you can just powerwash it clean..just watchout not to pop out the teeth
  16. I shot all but 2..the 10..and small 8 on the pallet are a friends i did last yr
  17. That cat clearly looks dangerous..but it was a bad shot..have people learned nothing..go for the vitals in the body..or maybe the shooter was cleaning the crossbow when it went off ..joking aside..not cool
  18. I wanna point out..it cost me $0 to do all 6 of my heads..unless you count beer $ and time involved ;D
  19. Not that i need one..but a good excuse to drink beers..
