Great job TL. You are doing the Lord's work teaching those boys. He'll be talking about that day when he's 75 yrs old driving his grandson to school.

In my experience, there is a very little chance any big deer gets killed by a still hunter in an area where dogs are used heavily.



In my experience, you are full of shite. We've killed a pile of big deer and there have been dog hunters around us for 50+ years (including a couple years in the 90s when we had a guy in the club with dogs. We'd run on our lease a few times a year.

Dog's don't mess up hunting nearly as much as people riding their side by side to their stands every day and around property putting out 100lbs of mo-buck every few days. Dogs in the woods chasing deer is 100x more natural than the woods smelling like beer farts and sounding like a racetrack.

I reckon you owe the chap a nice glove....at least.

Also, this is definitely the right board to discuss this life event. A lot kinder and more understanding souls on the OB.

Tell him you don't know what they cost but would give $500 -600 probably. See what he says.

Third hunting death to lighting this year to go with the Colorado elk hunters


5th this year, two hunters along with their two dogs were killed last month in Florida.

Terrible though. I can only hope that people take a better respect for weather out of all this.



About 50 people in the US die from lightning every year. Single digit deaths per year from venemous snakes.

A few new pairs of Wrangler ATG pants


Damn good britches, especially if you are like me and only buy whatever color is on sale on Amazon in a given week. There's always one color that's $10-15 cheaper.
Wheat, rye, and multiple other winter grasses will all germinate and grow in the back of a pickup truck, in caked up grease on a tractor, and in the ear of a 6 yr old boy. Just need some rain.
He's a nice deer with a big frame. He won't score a lot, but that doesn't mean he's not a really nice deer.

I started on the bottom rail of the fence on one side of my house where I had power. I went all the way around the fence on the bottom until I got to the other side of the house. Then I went to the top rail and ran it all the way back a long the fence to where I started.


Can do this. If can't run to house, they make solar powered fences. Just need to hook up a 12v battery to it. I know people who have them on their gardens and they work great.

No point in worrying about them. If they want to eat you they will.
Clorox. Same thing I keep in the shower at home. Not sure if it does anything, but my shower is clean and I haven't been hospitalized for any cuts.

My question is: will a .22 short Kill a grown racoon?


Absolutely
There used to be a boot/shoe store on Florida Blvd across from Bon Marche (or whatever it's called now). I just tried to look it up and can't find it. I had two pairs re-soled by an old black man there about 15 years ago. He did a great job. He might be 100 yrs old now. I can't find that the store is even open anymore.

Millitello's used to be good, but I've heard they went down hill after the old man died.

I have a pair that needs to be repaired at the moment. I'm curious what you are able to find.

Is anyone concerned with eating fish exposed to glyphosate?


I won't argue with you on not wanting to purposely ingest it, but if you are buying food from a grocery store it has glyphosate in it. It's in nearly our entire food supply.

I also won't argue that it is harmless. Our entire society is sick.

Small potatoes are still potatoes. Always plant enough you can dig new potatoes to hold you over until the other ones get full size.

My favorite way is making breakfast sausage out of it. I order the mild sausage seasoning from Rebel Butcher out of Pearl Mississippi and grind it up with bacon ends and it turns out good.


To be fair, you could take pretty much any animal and prepare this way and it would be pretty ok.

I use milk crates and have them in the safe, closet, shed, backseat, middle of the floor in office, etc.

Sometimes people leave them in a boat when going down the road. Boat bounces and the coolers fly out. I've seen it happen two times.
