Meat carrying backpack recs?

Posted by Harlan County USA on 2/22/26 at 7:16 pm
Does anyone use these and if so what brand or size would you recommend for deer or hogs? I'm tired of pulling carts and sleds. I hunt WMAs in AL. We cannot use ATVs to retrieve. Thanks.

Most coal mines in the 70s and 80s only gave 1 week a year vacation to everyone at the same time - 4th of July week. Whether you wanted off at that week or not, didn't matter, you were off that one week of the year.

I'd rather have today's flexibility as far as time off is concerned.

1st hog

First time hunting Lowndes WMA in AL and I shoot a hoss. I caped him for a mount. His head alone weighs 50 lbs.

Several guys I know said a hog this size and stink level wasn't worth cleaning for eating. Is that correct?





Tax on food.

I grew up in KY where groceries wasn't taxed. Came to AL and my 1st trip to the store I only had $20. I was poor. I had added up my food cost before getting to the register and to my surprise my total was more than what I had. I asked if she rang it up wrong and she told me AL charges tax. I had to put a couple cans of beans back. Its a bad feeling not having enough money to eat and pay food tax.
My cousin has this free standing model Buck Stove in her house in KY. It will drive you out of the room it can get so hot.

My mom's house had this Hitzer brand insert model Hitzer 983 Fireplace Insert | Hitzer LINK It had fans on each side that blew the heat out into the house.

My papaws house had a brand called Sunny Jim that hasn't been made in a long time.


Growing up in Grays Knob KY I got to see many cockfights in the 70s and 80s. Then the pussification of America happened and now it's outlawed.
You sure that wasn't filmed at the Holler Dollar?

Is it an indecent thing to go off of a hiking trail and walk through the woods when it is hunting season?


Yes it is. One time I encountered a guy while ground hunting for deer in the Talladega NF. He wasn't on the Pinhoti hiking trail, he was hiking the fire break right where I was setup for deer. Scared the crap out of me to turn around real fast and see a man standing there.

We talked, he apologized, but honestly I'm starting to think these hikers do this shite on purpose. They don't like hunting and it's their passive resistance to it without it being hunter harassment. Hey, I'm gonna go walking through the woods, not on a hiking trail, but where we know hunters would be, during deer season, and act like we're unaware!
We do too. Every Sunday at church. My wife will also drive to Alabama Power, Charter, Alfa Insurance, etc. to pay our bills using a check to keep from using a credit card or automatic withdrawal. Nobody is getting an automatic withdrawal from our accounts. Not happening. Too much fraud nowadays.

Shoulder buddies

Mental illness is real folks.

This guy was pushing his buggy around Walmarks yesterday having conversation with his shoulder buddy. My wife said it's probably for emotional support. I kept my eye on him just in case he went crazy while we were in there. What in tarnation!

Inb4 taking pics of random ppl is weird. Oh you think that one guy walking around talking to his shoulder buddy represents all mentally ill?!?!?!

I'll catch hell for admitting this but it was Captain D's! LOL. You either hate it or love it.

I read that is how some venomous snakes hunt. By hanging around waiting on prey, especially squirrels.

Timber rattlesnake.
I hit a drive thru yesterday and my total was $18.91. I gave the kid a $20 dollar bill and a penny. He said sir your order is $18.91 do you have ninety one cents? I said no, I gave you $20.01 so I'd get back a dollar and a dime instead of getting a dollar and 9 cents. I could see the lightbulb turn on above his head at that moment. Ohhh, I see.

What the hell are they teaching kids nowadays?
