On an old So. IL forum, someone posted photos of two dump sites containing a dozen or so each headless, backstrapless deer. No tags. It was common knowledge that hunters/poachers from N. Il would come down state and trophy hunt for racks and pitch the rest. So the story goes.

I need to get some of those fans and do a few unscientific experiments.
You just made me look up "Canda tomatoes" lol. Evidently Canda exports a huge amount of produce, just learned something new.
Had to fix my daughters pellet stove glass. After 10 years it cracked had to heat the bolts but one still snapped . Ended up drilling and tapping it to accept a 1/4 20 bolt . Glass should be here tomorrow 
I personally think she tried to clean it still warm to hot
Oschenkopf make the stihl axes, they are superb tools

I don't think I have ever cleaned the glass in mine
She runs it very low as it's a small home . I've had to clean the squirrel cage a few times as it cakes up with creosote. Not a safety issue as it slows the fan and the stove shuts down
Yes the fan or fans do make a huge difference.
Canadian Tomatoe... really...., thats most like a sticker put on top of the other countries sticker.
Oh the tricks we learn from our southern neighbours!Just kidding yes its from here. Short seasons but we make the best of em and the best ketchup period.
I read the other day that they can grow olives and lemons on Vancouver Island!Yes the fan or fans do make a huge difference.

Hey, no 10 pointer, but I filled my tag before it expired (it will expire on Sun) and will have venison in the freezer!
My MZ tags will still be valid after Sun.
First deer taken with my 870, I usually use the MZ in Putnam County.
Has a Hastings cantalever barrel with a 2.5 scope. Used Winchester 50 cal saboted 12 ga slugs (1 oz).
Shot placement was perfect, but no expansion, just punched right through the shoulder at 50 yds. Sunset was 4:25, deer came into view at 4:30.
He went right down, but I actually shucked another shell thinking he was going to get up, but he didn't.
I have now taken deer 6 years in a row (actually 7 deer in 6 years), my longest run!

I use a wet terrycloth towel to clean mine when it's "cooler", then I hit it with steel wool. It's very quick and it gets nice and clean.
Bummer that happened. Good thing she has you to help with it, super dad

That's mactacular!Here’s your pic brufab !

“ roadkill” by the way. The poor saw that got ran over. New handle and patched gas tank and she’s back to work!
Morning wood! 
Widow neighbor called this morning because her tree guy was in her driveway wondering if he could drop a load of logs in his dump trailer at my place. By the time I got off the phone and put my boots on he was here.
This load is cottonwood, but he's bringing back 4 more loads of higher quality stuff. Gotta take the bad with the good, but he said he won't bring me the monsters of 4-5' diameter. Says he has 500! loads, so I'm sure I will cry uncle before he is out of wood. I *almost* feel bad calling this scrounged wood when it's delivered.

Have you burnt any cottonwood before? Guessing it's like burning popple? I have a monster one to take down and was wondering if it's worth the trouble to burn. Thanks!
When it’s dry it burns just fine, just burns quickly. If you try to burn it when it’s wet or not fully cured, it’s going to smell like ****.
The BTU charts say it is an equal of popple/Aspen but in my experience it is less dense once dry. They are genetically almost the same wood but cottonwood grows like a weed with large growth rings so it’s less dense.
