re: Meat Grinder Recommendations

Posted by BIG Texan on 5/18/26 at 1:07 pm to
I make three pounds at a time and use my KitchenAid , works great. I grind country style boneless ribs that I mix with ground deer meat , spices peppers and sometimes cheese.
My wife bought one thinking it was 4 WD , salesman told her it was. No issues except I hated that car. Lovely day when Carvana drove away with it and I had a check in my hand for 22K.

Looks good but don’t understand the whole chilis?, I mean they won’t do anything like that. What about the stems?

I had a pair of scouts and they spent the night, I’m west of Shreveport.
I grew up eating Reubens like this one when I lived in Kansas City, except that nasty salad dressing, I miss them . My dad used to bring them home and we would have them for dinner, usually a half of one per person.

Make sure to use houses with crescent shaped holes, these are too small for starlings. Also you need to clean these houses when the martins leave
Around July.

2/3/26 had five woodies in front of the poles I put the boxes on this AM.
Once again the officer panicked and shot a guy for no real reason.

I’m usually on the side of LE but both the recent shootings were unnessary, IMHO.

re: School me on wood duck boxes

I’ve had boxes out for over 25 years, some of these pointers are good. The best snake and coon guards I’ve found are made by a co called Duck hut .com. Expensive $39 but they are the best. You abosuly need good guards or you are just feeding snakes. I count shells in the boxes after the hatch to confirm. It doesn’t matter how high you place the box as I have had one successful hatch from an owl box that was up 25 foot. I live on a lake and there are way more hens looking for a box to lay in, so they will use a box when the other hen leaves to eat. I’ve had as many as 15 chicks hatch from one box. I get cedar shavings from tractor supply and put hardware screen below the entrance so the chicks can climb out.
They are designed better than the Browning and made better as well.
