Re: Heat Wave

I was stuck on the tarmac at McCarren airport in Las Vegas. (Thank you allegiant air) The plane got there late, so they rushed us on board. Once we were onboard, we were trapped. No AC in a tin can in the desert at 117 degrees F. (Thanks Allegiant air.) It took an hour for the plane to cool down onc...

joe,
Don't bother. Gander is overpriced. Scheel's opens in june on the south side. If it is anything like the other scheel's, it will put the hurt on gander.

electric hoist

I picked up an electric hoist yesterday at harbor freight. I got it installed today. Good thing. A buddy dropped me a deer to process this afternoon. Man, that thing worked great! I didn't have to lift a thing. A lot better than the pulley I used in years past.

Re: OT-beef vs. venison

I do not know why people continue to gut animals. It makes no sense to be out in the dark, tired, with a sharp knife flailing inside a carcass. Split the animal down the back and quarter the thing. Once its quartered, throw it in cooler of ice. imho

I've spent a lot of days in Vegas. I never saw it snow there. Lots of snow between Vegas and Parhump, though. Kind of cool.

Re: OT - Your Help Needed for Momma's Cats

Hobie,
A friend of mine recently went through this with his sister's cats. They were both over twenty years old. He found a rescue group that took them. You might want to try a web search for such rescue groups in her area.

Re: Hanging deer

I don't hang them at all anymore. Use my cell phone to check them in and quarter right in the field. No gutting needed. Take everything out the back, including the tenderloins. Into the cooler they go. They usually sit in ice water for week. I change it every one to two days. Saves me fingers and bo...

You might also ask her to talk to the taxidermist that did the work. Sometimes these guys know people that are looking for mounts.

Contact your local taxidermist and ask for a europeon mount. It will cost you little money. You drop off a rotten deer skull and pick up a fresh and clean skull. It will be money better spent in the long run. Do not put it in a pond if you have tannens in your water. I had to end up painting two cus...

My ex-father-in-law had one. Wasn't fast on land or water. With the price you be better off buying a Mule type vehicle and a snow mobile. Mules could also carry a bigger payload. From what I remember, payload wasn't to good.
