Re: Canning Venison ?

Where I was raised there were no no freezers, except in wintertime. No farmer would butcher an animal in the summertime, unless the family was ready to can (bottle) the meat. Whenever we poached a summertime deer, it got canned, and that was frequent Then we got Rural electrification, and everybody ...

Re: Erratic BH flight between bows

By all means confirm broadhead alignment, as Boo suggests. If broadhead alignment is not an issue, you may have a different problem. I suspect that no two bows have perfectly the same limb thrust or limb alignment to the frame. If one bow has a dominant left limb, you may tune it to shoot well on a ...

You said you blamed Fotd. Well, so do I. The thing is, he should have offered every inducement, every encouragement, for them all to return. Heck, not just forgiveness.

Too many of them took root here.

Re: Once in a lifetime weekend on Nip

I'm so glad to hear that the burbot wasn't wasted. Around here, there's a good (bad) chance it would simply be left on top of the ice as raven bait. There's a shameful, ignorant attitude about mariah, or freshwater cod, burbot, or whatever you want to call them. There's a lot of knife work to do the...

Re: What type of critter is this?????

I "horse traded" with a fellow who had lived in the Far North, and now have a Musk Ox horn mount, a Narwhal tusk, and Walrus head and tusk mount. I passed on the baculum. I thought it was probably too dangerous. I was single at the time, and I thought inexperienced ladies might just get sc...

Next photo

With the amount of staining it looks like a fossil. Sabre tooth tigers had canine even more out of proportion looking, but maybe if the jaw was closed? That's my guess, anyway.

Re: C2 crank hook broke

Contact Munch and get his metal hooks. He no longer makes them. Well, son of a gun. This fall I busted a hook on my crank, while cocking my Suppressor. Luckily I had a couple of hooks from Munch that I had bought when I just thought they were a neat product, and before I actually needed them.

Re: Blood tracking lights

That is quite a picture. I see purple, blue, black and red. There is so much red I have to ask. Is what shows as red ONLY blood, or is there a spillover from other stuff showing as red that is actually red vegetation? In my area, in the fall, there are some plants that show as blood colored even dur...

Re: Restringing aid slipping.

The short Micro limbs make a string change or adjustment a bit more difficult. The tolerances involved are small. I you shorten your restringer cord too much, you won't be able to get the plastic block over the limb tips. However, if the cord isn't darned short, you won't retract the limbs back far ...

Re: Restringing aid slipping.

Not sure I understand.

Do you mean that the stringing aid cord stretched too much and that prevented you from taking enough pressure off your bowstring?
