Good man!  I've been pondering it lately...........it's been years since I've donated.  I don't know if mine is worthy these days?

They won’t accept yours because of your recent man to man sexual relations. It’s on the questionnaire

Ya well they didn’t take mine either , got a letter they flagged it for two diseases . Chagas which you get from a parasite in South America , it lives in the mud they build their huts out of , I test positive for the anti bodies. Weird since I’ve never been there nor do I live in a mud hut .... test neg. for the disease.

Second was tested “ reactive “ for anti bodies for Hep C . Dr sent me for more blood work , waiting to hear , he’s not to worried as it seems us boomers make up 3/4 of all Hep C carriers ,as health care back when wasn’t screening blood  for ,it nor to sterile. He feels I may have had it years back and my superior body kicked its ass .

But I think of all the druggies I worked on and all the needles in the drug house s I’ve been in ... Here’s a milk jug of needles screwed to the side of a drug house we trained on . If I have to stop drinking I’ll be pissed .

Sorry to hijack this thread , I’ll be shed hunting soon !

Chagas probably came from a tick bite

I have not been over to visit my parents (both in their 80's) since the Covid-19 stuff started.   My mom mentioned on the phone last night that dad found a big antler near the back of a clover field behind their house (4 points on it).  He has been trying to find the other side, with no success so far.    I have been concerned about the fate of a big 8-point, that I saw a few times over there during archery season, and now I can rest a bit easier.   It appears that he made it thru gun season.   

I did not see any bucks over there during gun season, after I "accidentally" killed the resident old doe on opening day.  I had seen several bucks over there earlier, all having smaller or busted-up racks, except for the big 8, which never gave me a good shot opportunity.   I was a bit concerned that a big, busted-rack buck that a neighbor killed over there might have been him, but dad's antler find proves otherwise.  

I am guessing that he will be 4.5 this year, which is a bit out of my league, but has me looking forward to the coming season.   I had killed 3.5 year old bucks over there in 2017, and 2018, but missed my chance last year.   I did manage to get one at home with my crossbow, but the bodies (and chest girth) are a lot bigger on the ones over at my folks place, on average.      

I finally made it over to my folks place (maintaining 6 ft social distance), to get a photo of this one today.  It certainly appears to be from the big 8 that I saw over there last fall and it does look like he was 3.5 (The base diameter and antler mass is nearly identical to the 3.5 that I killed over there  in 2018).   I spent a half hour or so looking for the other side but no signs of it.
