Fair enough, I have tricked a few that were pets into thinking they were feral and strayed too far away from the house and then WHACK, so I guess it works.

Hmm, them cats don't look very feral at all.

I kind if like orangutans, probably a holdover from the old Clint Eastwood movies where Clyde would beat up the biker gang. Although this chimpanzee cracks me up every time.

First swing it goes into beserk mode, grabs a tire iron and goes postal on every one. I am with you, monkeys are an odd combination of cute and creepy. I kind of like the big laid back ones, them little ones, nope.

Put a loin on the smoker also and I am in.

I don't even take them out of the death well until I get home.

Oh heck, they are just cays, if the decide to take up residence at my place then they and all 9 of their lives belong to me to do with as I please. Some get to stay others are removed with extreme predjudice. I will lose no sleep over them, if they are decent cays and I am low on cats (like to have 2 or 3 around) then they can stay, if they are wild and crazy then they go away.

Definitely owner responsibility. My comment was directed at state leash laws comment. I know of many leash laws but none that are state statutes. As a property owner if my cows, horses, chickens, wife etc get out and causees damage damage I should be liable for that.

Your students would be making a poor decision, if they wouldn't eat that.

I know of no "state" leash laws. I do know of many dogs that have been shot when they strayed too far from home, including a couple of my own. What was our original rant about again.?

So are they still protesting every Saturday like they said, or like most other social media flare ups has it fallen by the wayside.

Actually I suspect he has caught "mutt" fever from them mutt white bass he keeps catching, combined with too many fumes from 2 stroke engines. 🤔

Maybe instead of banning feeders, the state can mandate them and provide feed with the meds in it. Of course in a few years then we would find out the meds cured/prevented CWD but rendered the meat unsafe to eat.

While it is interesting news it has a long way to go to be proven and then put into use. Especially with wild deer the problem of how to vaccinate them comes into play. I hope it is all true and a "cure" is on the horizon, if for no other reason than it would likely have some effect on treatment of; CJD, BSE, TSE, Scrapies, etc. It "could" become a major medical breakthrough, or it could become nothing.

That part about "baiting with a hot female" has led to the downfall of many country boys.

Mmmmmmmmm

Sounds like the yolk is on you.

Tongue is a very tasty piece but I have to fix it so others will eat it too. Although if they dont, well more lunches for me!!

Hurry up spring!

Deer belong to th people of the state of missouri and are managed by the state is always how I have understood it. Pele wanted more big bucks and more deer, thus along came Antler Point restrictions, then CWD and the restrictions have largely gone away. Now I am not sure there is a legal limit to the number of deer I can kill on my property, I (well my wife anyway ) can quickly surpass the number that I want to process. I well remember seasons when I hunted that no deer were killed, now it's a matter of how many. I used to care about deer, now that I don't hunt them and they are not "rare", I am way more concerned about how many walleye are stocked in my area lakes. If MDC can glean any information from the data I provide to them, then more power to them. Maybe they can give me some investment advice or tell me how to keep my wife from spending so much.

I have the to guess from this year's beef awaiting my opportunity. I am leaning toward brining or pickling and smoking it.

Fishy salt jelly. I remember befor Truman where everyone used to snag spoonbill, I wouldn't hazard a guess at how many hundreds of pounds of roe was thrown to the hogs or into a ditch.

I went back to basic tonight for Valentines day. A small backstrap from a button buck my wife killed, ran the jacardi tenderizer across it a couple times, dropped it into a bowl and poured cola over it, and added some sort of cowboy seasoning in and stirred it around. Let it soak while waiting for my wife to come back from the store. She brought some croissants and some squash. Heated up the small cast iron skillet, added some butter and garlic olive oil, seasoned the backstrap with salt/pepper/garlic powder. Seared the 2 pieces to a nice crust and removed them. Sometimes they just are perfect, very rare in the middle and a little crust on the outside and tender as can be. Even my mom a notoriously picky eater for an old lady, cleared her plate with ease. Never had a chance to take a photo, it looked like someone threw a handfull of grasshoppers into a chicken pen the way it disappeared.

Tonight's simple man menu is rough hash. Chopped up some left over roast beef, diced up a sweet onion. And microwaved it a while with coca cola to partially cook them, boiled up 3 taters then peeled and diced them up. All into one BIG bowl, mixed around a while, added some salt/pepper/garlic powder mix and some cavenders seasoning. Skillet with some garlic olive oil, hoping to get a nice crust on it, or it will fall apart and become a hash scramble. Either way it's supper.

Cool, I had one show up a couple months ago, shortly afterward one of my yard cats vanished. Foxes love cats. WIN WIN.
