I used my boots. To husk this bad boy 2 year ago

As Evan slack says Higher….higher….higher!

My neighbor just bought some vaccine for his calves. He said 400 # calves are fetching $2400……..$6 a pound 750 pounders are reporting $4 a pound.

The trees ( white oak) that last year were full of acorns, this year nuthin! A smaller tree that had few, also had a few. Is it common with white oak? Every other year? Are they like women and all cycle the same in the same environment?

I’m at an all time high today. Am close to having 10% in cash. Almost where I want to be. Just gotta get the lithium battery deal to come up.

The level of peritonitis was extreme. It just peeled away. Veterinary terms I would call a caseous necrosis.

Yes sir!

Thanks! I got lung on one of the finishing bolts.

I believe the rumen lies directly against the diaphragm on the left side. The liver is on the right side, between the diaphragm and the intestine. So perhaps I hit the diaphragm and the fat and the rumen , then it angled behind the liver through the fat and intestines.

The scope on my raven r 9 is offensive. It’s so busy it is at best distracting. It draws my eye away from the target. But it holds zero so well I have not replaced it. I think this near miss…is going to be the catalyst to change it.

I kept the diaphragm to cook up for the pup. There was a lot of fat attached to it ventrally. I think it went through mostly fat. As fat is very a vascular. When in doubt…..back out. That’s why in summer type weather……mornings are better…..evening time you have a much harder time tracking...

I don’t know as I had to put another bolt into it. I didn’t take the time to dissect it properly. I definitely believe the diaphragm was involved due to its exercise intolerance and mouth breathing. It had extensive peritonitis, and lots of ingesta was free in the abdominal cavity. I can’t...

I know, that’s why I shared…….the guts aren’t that far away from the front leg. 100 grain, three blade, Trochar tip. Complete pass through……it was about 2 inches stuck in the alfalfa field after it went through the deer.

It exited the opposite side ( broad side). I found no blood. Just like the bolt ………. Without the dog……I might still be looking…….for magpies!

Yesterday I had 8 different bucks at 35 yards or less. There was two that I wanted to harvest. They were both within 25 yards for several minutes. Man did I get to shaking……I had three smaller deer within 15 yards also. I had just the day before added camo burlap to my box stand……it helped...
