because they are not stupid like us. They actually like having a decent deer population over most of the state.

BOURRÉ
BOO-RAY • CAJUN TRICK-TAKING GAMBLING GAME

Cinch is required — not optional. Agree on ante and pot limit before the first deal.

1. PLAYERS, CARDS & OBJECT

2–7 players (7 is a full table — not 8; the deck will not support the
draw). Standard 52-card deck, no jokers. Rank high to low: A K Q J
10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2. Aces high in every suit. Object: stay in and take the most of the five tricks to win the pot. Stay in and take zero tricks and you are bourré — you match the whole pot.

2. ANTE & DEAL
Everyone who owes an ante puts the same amount in the pot. Dealer may set the ante after the first hand. Shuffle. Player to dealer’s right cuts. Deal five cards face down to each player, one at a time, clockwise. Then deal one extra card FACE UP. That suit is TRUMP. The upcard belongs to the dealer, so the dealer has SIX cards.

If the dealer stays in, they discard down to five like everyone else and may keep or throw the upcard. Replacements come from the stub. If the upcard is the Ace of trump, the dealer must stay in (the Ace always takes a trick).

Deal passes left after each hand.

3. PLAY OR PASS • THE DRAW

Starting left of the dealer, each player says IN or OUT. Others look at five cards; the dealer looks at six. OUT (pass/fold): lose only the ante. Stack cards face down. Sit out the hand.

IN (play): you may discard any number of cards (0–5) and draw replacements from the stub. With 7 players many tables cap the draw at 3 so the stub does not run out. If everybody passes, redeal.

If only one player stays, that player takes the pot without playing the cards. Do not announce in/out or how many you will throw before it is
your turn. Penalty is often loss of next deal.

4. PLAYING TRICKS

First active player left of the dealer leads any legal card. Winner of each trick leads the next. Five tricks. Keep won tricks face up so reneging is visible.

FOLLOW SUIT if you have the led suit — even if your card cannot beat what is out, and even if the trick is already trumped. If void in the led suit you MUST trump if you hold a trump.

PLAY TO WIN / HEAD THE TRICK: if you can play a card that beats the current winner (higher of the led suit, or a higher trump), you must play one that heads it. If you cannot follow and cannot trump, play any off card. An off card cannot win. Highest trump wins the trick. If no trump was played, highest card of the led suit wins.

CINCH EXAMPLES

You lead and hold Ace, King, Queen of trump: drop all three at once. That is three sure tricks and the pot. Ace of trump already played.

You win a trick and still hold King, Queen, Jack of trump: lead all three.

You have taken two tricks and still hold the Ace of trump. Lead the Ace next. It cannot lose.

5. CINCH — REQUIRED, NOT OPTIONAL

A cinch is three sure tricks no matter how the rest of the cards fall. When
you have a cinch you must cash it. You do not get to hold high trump back.

On lead with a cinch: you MUST lead your highest remaining trump. A-K-Q of trump on your lead: play all three at once and take those tricks immediately.

Ace of trump already out and you hold K-Q-J of trump on lead: lead all
three. Same idea for any run of top remaining trumps that cinches the
pot.

If you have taken a trick and what is left in your hand is now unbeatable (example: you have 1 trick plus Ace-King of trump), you must cash the sure winners now.

If you win the first three tricks you have the pot — lead trump to trick
four if you still have one.

When forced to play “highest trump,” an adjacent card in sequence is
accepted (King from A-K).

You may not “play nice” to keep another player from going bourré. Force the win.

6. THE POT, TIES & BOURRÉ

Most tricks wins the entire pot. Three tricks always wins. Two can win if the other three tricks are split one apiece.

TIE for most tricks: nobody takes it. The pot stays and carries to the next deal.

BOURRÉ: any player who stayed IN and took ZERO tricks must MATCH THE ENTIRE CURRENT POT into the next pot. That is how pots explode.
A player who went bourré usually does not ante again on the following deal. Players who tied for most tricks often skip the next ante as well. Everyone else antes as usual. Many tables set a POT LIMIT so one night cannot wipe a player out. When the pot is over the limit, the winner takes only the limit and a bourré pays only the limit.

7. RENEGE (MISPLAY)
A renege is failing to follow suit, failing to trump when void, failing to head the trick when able, or failing to cash a cinch.

Penalty is the same as going bourré: match the pot. If you catch the error before the next player plays, most houses let you take the card back and play the legal one.

you don't have to give up your highest trumps when some A,Q, K

must be nice to have too many deer

Because they never shot them. The downside is the dreaded O-ring gas system that can't be neglected. You have to clean them and keep a spare O right on you just in case.

The lunatic sports media made this whole case what it is. They got marching orders from someone who just hates LSU and in concert started chirping. The mainstream news does the same thing. They are controlled.

Sanky and many of the presidents probably believed some of the half baked false narrative hence the knee jerk reaction. Now they are probably fully in the know. Now it's crawfish time. They want back in their holes.

Watch this and calm down.

Red tool store has the best deals I have ever come across

Stonewall, play with this tool. It's pretty interesting. Recoil Claculator

I spent weeks obsessing over a 6.5 x 55 swede, 708, and 308 for my girls. This made me feel better about the 308. With the 130 grain barnes the recoil is very mild. I wanted a 708 but the Stevens 308 was cheap and they didn't have a 708. If they did, I would have bought one.

I got my 14 year old 100# daughter a Savage Stevens 334 in 308 last year. I cut an inch and a half off the stock, put a Simms slip on 1" butt pad, and put a timney trigger in it. That damn gun is a tack driver. It loves the Barnes 130 grain ammo. It shoots a legit .5 to.75" groups at 100 yards. The first time she pulled the trigger on it, my daughter said "this one's fun to shoot daddy!" I liked it so much I hunted with her gun all year.

Recoil fear is taught. Kids deserves a gun and ammo that won't fail them when they make a less than perfect shot at the perfect angle. 6.5 CM on down loaded with exploding trash bullets like ELDX don't cut it. That 308 with the 130 grain barnes load is a low recoil death laser. No matter how close the deer is the bullet wont go to shite and not reach vitals in a meaningful manner nor will it fail to exit. Its expanding to a good diameter, cutting more tissue, and making a bigger exit for blood.
