Deer hunting BS thread

And carry at least 30 different diseases. I've cleaned and eaten plenty but I leave most for the buzzards these days. Occasionally, I'll take some tenderloins or dress out a small one.

In Texas, it's STRONGLY recommended to wear gloves and rain gear when you butcher one. Rinse off rain gear and let it sit outside for at least 5 hours afterwards and take a good shower. That's a pain in the ass and pork is pretty cheap. Brucellosis is one of the big concerns, and it's no picnic. It basically just makes your whole body ache for a long long time while you treat it.

I'll take picture of the yard at the ranch house where I've been killing these hogs. One day it had about a 10' stretch that looked like someone had hit it with a tiller. A week later, it's about 100' square where they rooted up the top 12" of soil, and ATE over 20' of PVC pipe. There is seriously not one bit of the pvc left at all. They crunched it up and ate it.

 

Thanks for all the info gents! I was unaware of any of that.

 

Yea
I’m not paying to go gut shoot a pig for the buzzards to eat. They’re not at my place yet but I’m sure they’ll get close with creeks near.

 

It’s opening day of archery season in AZ! Bucks are on the move, cut a set of monster tracks, searching for the monster non typical I’ve been getting pics of the last few months. Hopefully I can find him solo and make a move

 

Good Luck!!

 

What he said Good luck

 

This guy is so screwed up he doesn't know which way is up. He thinks the 50 BMG sucked the eyeballs out of that deer.

Caution - photo eventually shows dead deer. Not too gory though.

I hate people who spew crap science because they're too ignorant to know better.

 

He was also so confident in his ability he only put one round in that mag... Would been awkward if he needed a quick follow up shot to finish off a poorly hit animal, but with enough vacuum to suck lungs inside out, i guess follow up shots are not needed

 

he probably fishes with dynamite too I'm guessing.

 

At least the view is nice post rut

 

Getting my 9pt ready for a crown mount. First time cutting the skull cap, not too hard. Gotta boil it now to get it clean.

 

I did it the same way

 

yeah Im skeptical on that one but supposedly no bullet entry/exit wound so a near miss with a 50 cal that close could be plausible. Im not willing to try it out though...

 

I thought i saw fur fly the first time i watched but that seems to be vapor trail and dirt behind the deer... You can see the deer's last breath tho in slow mo

 

I saw that too, maybe a near miss. Im sure the compression/shock wave would be quite great.

 

Where did you get your leather?
