That sure is a nice buck locusttt cutter.How much did he weigh?

Not sure around 170# I think. Whatever he weighed, he filled 2x 2x2x2' boxes, one of ground packages and the other of steaks/roasts and strap. Each box was around 55lbs. Now I'm really looking forward to Doe season in January as another similar size deer would be nice in the freezer. I'm still wanting to go to Oklahoma and go hog hunting. I'd like to have 1-2 hogs in the freezer and a bit more beef or elk. My goal is a deep-freeze full of protein. I did just help a friend slaughter some homegrown turkeys, which weighed 49 and 52lbs respectively. We cooked half of one for Thanksgiving and still had A LOT of leftovers... The other half and another whole bird are in the freezer now. I am very happy!!!

Nice ten pointer!

An old picture from when I was without a truck.



Just a small doe. The vet got used as an off road vehicle a few times.

It's damn nippy in Udall. I was in the barn earlier this morning, (I work nights and the convert to days on my "off days", then convert back), cleaning/servicing saws and after doing some cleaning/rearranging and saw work, my finger were about numb and that was while running the kerosene heater. I still have to get the flue, supporting brackets, floor shield and ducting picked up for my new barn stove. After that, the stove will have it's own dedicated Hedge supply. Apparently it's 14 degrees out right now. Hi Kenneth!

A cool 20 degrees in Clinton, Mo at 4:15am.

I'm in a similar position on one of my shop stoves I'm installing. I need a 6" high temp roof flange/gasket but it is on order at the local Amish supplier. I could get one somewhere else but it would be much higher. It should be here by Wednesday.

I went to auction today...I have too many broken trucks, and needed one real bad for the impending snow removal. $19,850.00 later, I have a truck now.

2003 Ford F-450 (pristine cab, engine, & frame), dump bed (dump bed is a little rusty), excellent 9' Meyers snowplow, and a stainless salt spreader. Only 50K miles, it is really clean all over but it has the much feared 6.0 diesel!
...

That truck saved my business in this last snow. My other salt truck had a bad transmission repair and was inoperable. Thank goodness it snowed on a Sunday.

None of my customers knows what a screwed up operation I am running...they think everything was done on schedule.

Well, I went deer hunting the other day... I guess it worked out ok...

If your goal was to slaughter Bambi...the pics say it all, don't they?
If only to get out of the house and sit in the woods by yourself; I guess it would be hard for that to go wrong.

BTW: Bambi was a whiner; he contributed to the demise of his parents. He needs to get shot just for stripping all the bark off the trees in the winter time.

did you ever notice ,when it is 60 degrease outside you look at the wood pile and say ,I will never burn all of that this year.then you look at it when it is 5 and you think I am going to run out of wood .
