Excalibur Crossbow Forum

Nog, that's pretty amazing. I'd love to learn more about your setup. I did some smoking, but nothing so elaborate. I am dry curing some sausage right now, would love to have a cold smoking setup... need to decide how much time and money I want to put into it... Side bacon, is it? ehntr, it's salami ...

I used to smoke a pipe. I made a hobbit pipe last year, just for fun. I always hated cigars, but recenlty realized I hated 'cheap' cigars, the better stuff doesn't actually smells like burnt old socks :shock: Hobbit pipe: https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-tsBmYQreqac/VI5RHoMINTI/AAAAAAAAHXc/BtaPW9m...

I thought summer sausage is fermented, i.e. hung in moist place for a while... Not a simple process with temp and humidity control required and room to grow wrong bacteria (botulism).

is that wall for real..?

I have friends in Waterloo area, you guys do have lots of deer there...
I thought one needs to have a disability to hunt with x-bow there..?

I am in ON. While I've been doing all sorts of hunting for a while.. I am still a newbie at bow hunting. I had a good fortune to go out with some forum members here, it was great. If you want/need another hunter - let me know. I am pretty good with a knife (and an axe :) ) as was previously noted. S...

I hope the knee is doing well.
Good report as always.

That's definitely a generous offer.
Looks like you Sat is full and on Sunday I am going north.
If you ever decide to do it again - drop me a PM.

Good luck.

I almost replied on the other forum you posted (OOD).
Anyhow - call someone with a dog, like me
when MNR allows it
THere's lots of deer been lost and at least some of them can be recovered.
I know the feeling

This one is a great thread - thanks all.
It's quite amazing really.

I work in IT now, for about 20 years. Before that I worked a lot of odd jobs and lived and worked in 5-6 countries, visited about 35.

While searching the web for an answer i came across many different parasites/diseases that deer may have. Kind of scary! This is one thing I found about infections: When deciding if an animal is fit to eat, consider the following: if possible, before you take a shot watch the animal and see if it i...

MNR (ON deer cops) would be unlikely to issue another tag, JMO don't get me started on this topic

looks good to me - don't eat anything that looks septic.
Was the deer otherwise healthy looking - moving around ok and well fed? if you don't want the meat - give me a shout - I will pick it up for the dog, at least

Boy this is confusing. I've seen a similar post on 4 different boards. Would it be time for the MNR to reword the tags so it's clearer for hunters? Too many people are unsure to blame it on Joe Public. Dan O. There's a very nice summary someone put together on OOD - all the deer options. Look it up...

I always enjoy your writing. Thanks.
I wonder if I missed what happened with your writing contract...

I am training a dog to blood track.
If you think you need help and it's within couple hours of GTA - send me PM.
