Went up in the mountains to give a fellow an estimate on moving a couple of metal buildings and ended up killing a hog too. The guy gave us a tour of his property and told us to kill every hog we saw but i only came home with one. Hit another one but couldnt find it.

That's ok, coyotes gotta eat too!  Looks like you got some lean and healthy protein right there, brother!

Ha! You guys keep me in stitches!

I confess, I also do some sewing. Recently ran across the antique sewing machine that I gave my ex on our first anniversary.  I bought it (again) and it still works pretty good.  I am having trouble with the tensioner for the thread, though. It won't loosen up and it tends to break the thread often enough that it gets frustrating.

Thanks JW and bubby, but no we werent using the jeep method. We used a 30-06. I would like to preserve the hide but know nothing about that. Does anyone know if theres a how-to somewhere and could you point me in the right direction?

I know all you guys that have turkeys will think this dumb, but not to me.  Where I live in the mountains of Wyoming we have only had turkeys here for about five years when the G & F planted some on a ranch in a drainage north of here.  In that time they have spread all through our range and winters here are tough.  Last spring a hen had a clutch on the neighbor's ranch.  They have been pestering the neighbors all winter and day before yesterday eleven of them showed up across the creek in our yard.  Nothing to do but go out and actually herd them to the feed I had spread out in the snow!  They went on a crazy feeding flurry.  When it got late in the evening they flew into the trees next to my corral.  That was exciting to see.  Then yesterday nine of them showed up again and I was able to feed them.  My wife thinks I am crazy for inviting them to stay!  We have every known predator here including wolves, coyotes, fox, mountain lions, bob cats, and eagles and how these turkeys survive through our winters is amazing to me.  Now if I can just draw a spring turkey tag!  Joe

It is my understanding that wild turkeys tame rather quickly if you feed them on a regular basis. You may not have any "wild" turkeys to hunt if they get too attached to your feeding times.

JW - we were having similar issues with my wifes old machine. We took it in for a through cleaning - they got all of the old dust and oil out of it and lubed what needed it and it came back to life. Perhaps that is all you need... or a bigger hammer! ;D

Today I did a little rabbit hunting with my brother in law.  He took a shotgun and I brought my selfbow.  He went 2 for 2.  I only took one shot.  We spotted a rabbit hiding in the snow under a fallen tree behind the house.  I got pretty close and then took a shot through the brush.  My arrow hit dead center of the hole where it was sitting but I didn't get the rabbit.  It must have bolted as I released the arrow.  It was close but no blood or fur.   This was my first time bow hunting rabbits.  I had a lot of fun.  We looked for deer sheds but didn't find any.  We did pick up some overlay material though.  I also got in a little bow building time and placed an order with Grizzly today.

Goat horns.  I had to put it down earlier in the winter.  That is the only thing that the coyotes didn't eat.


Does anyone know the best way to get the horns to release?
