    What's Cooking?

    Jalapeno / Cheddar Jack omelet. Sumo orange.
  2. That's why hunting barns and houses back when was so effective. We'd sleep until seven, go have breakfast and start hunting about nine in the morning, when the nocturnals were all back in bed cozied up with their families and friends.
  3. So I've heard. Small towns are better at most things than any big city.
  4. The guy I hunted with in Iowa made some real money. Skinned and sold green hides. Froze carcasses and would make a Chicago run for them at $10 each. Sold the footsies to our Native American brethern who would make a totem for some tourist and sell one to us.
  5. I hope a person doesn't go to hell for killing coons by the pickup load.
  6. I used to coon hunt barns and abandoned houses in Iowa with terriers. This was in the '90's and early 2000's. Farmer's hated them. Ruined hay, milk replacer, crapped on everything. Wasn't hard at all to get permission. We'd ask politely "Sir, would you mind if we Jack Russell your barn or would you rather have us come back later and burn it down?" They pretty much all got the joke. A few wanted to hang with us and watch. It can be a lot of work moving hay to get to dogs and coons but it's a very exciting sport. It was not at all unusual to kill 100 in a day. We used to rate barns or houses as bronze, silver or gold. Bronze was 10, silver was 20 gold was 30. That's how all the holster wear got on this old friend. I put it all there 100% on my own. Big round bales and taxes on abandoned houses (they have almost all now been torn down) killed the terrier hunting. Now it's trapping or nothing.
  7. Money is only good for spending.
  8. "$30-50 each and 1000 coons" $30x1000=$30,000. $50x1000=$50,000. That was real money in the '80's.
  9. Hey good buddy, you got the Dirty Diaper...
  10. This is your kind of weather. Where you going to fish?
  11. Golly, gosh and gee whiz.
  12. Happy Birthday Sir!
  13. Beer has alcohol in it.
  14. Great way to spend a holiday. Good luck to the Folly Family!

    Deer hanger

    When I've finished the field dressing I prefer to hose out the cavity thoroughly. After that mine go to a processor.

    Deer hanger

    I used to hang deer with a big tree limb, rope and my jeep. All right in the backyard where the garden hose is handy. But that tree died and we had it taken out last fall. I haven't used anything like your link shows, but I might be in the market for one now. For sure need to get something figured out and I insist that it be someplace with water.
  19. They are a lot harder to skin than any squirrel I ever cleaned. And they need pressure cooker treatment just like a big squirrel.
  20. Me neither. They get the gun.
  21. They jump when startled. Gets a lot of them killed when they would otherwise be fine when a car or truck drives over them.
  22. I can't throw a curve ball anymore. And I never could hit one. Which was the end of an otherwise promising career as a baseball player. At the tender age of 14. At my age, it's a lot more convenient to talk about the things I can't do anymore than the things I still can.
  23. I hope you enjoyed it.🤢
