I've used a golf ball many times and it is not only a quick way to skin a deer but also entertaining. It takes me way longer to set it up then to skin. If you are skinning a fresh deer then I can do it about as fast as it takes me to get it set up, but I let my deer hang with the hide on for as...

I have one from a 1000 gallon tank that was cut into thirds and it works great. I bought it 10-15 years ago with heavy legs welded on and it looks the same as the day I got it. Need to cut some holes to drain water and need the loader to move it but the cows don't move it either.

I have used a barbwire fence for a ground with some electric fence that we roll out for fall/winter pasture on some bottom, flood prone hay ground and I think it works very good. If it is very dry or really frozen, not so good but for the most part we have rain in the fall and by the time the...

Two of the smaller hogs did ribs, and a few roast, and rest ground to sausage. One was really small at around 25 pounds dressed and he will go straight to my smoker whole for a nice slow smoke. The two bigger ones went all to suasage and told the locker to keep the big hog and small hog sausage...

Well Texas has 5 less hogs but I'm not sure we effected the population much. Having never done this and getting little (read no) instruction from the landowner it took a couple days to figure out what we were doing. We were seeing groups of up to 50 working the wheat fields but we started in the...

I hope it is good hunting. If it is not I will have one really sad 10 year old. Ok a sad 40 something also. I'll post my results next week.

I know there are lots of people on here from Texas so I thought I would let you know to pen up the hogs you want to keep this weekend because we hope to thin the population. :D We are headed to the Haskell and Rule area to give this a try. Many years ago a few of us would go the Laredo and bow...

My brother and I were walking out of the timber one cold morning after an ice storm. As we rounded a corner there stood the deer of a lifetime about 300 yards down a logging road. It was beyond my brother’s gun so I pulled up and one shot and down he went right in his tracks. I was on cloud 9...

Craigslist is what I have done in the past with mine. You get a lot of hunters "kicking tires" that are not really serious but it has worked for me two out of two times. I just did a very basic ad. Some things you can do to help yourself out is write a detailed description of the land that you...

Few years ago went to buy 20 head with vet checking them before they loaded. 13 went onto the trailer so it was well worth me paying for a vet to show up at the seller house. Seller was not real happy about me showing up with a vet as he knew they were all bred but I was REALLY happy about it.

I have used expandable foam in any cracks and the bees still find a way in. Just saying if opening day is warm :shock: .....better safe than sorry. I figure the darker the inside of my box is the less the deer can see inside but they still pick up a quick movement. After using mine for the past...

I have built several of these in the past few years and here are a couple hints I have figured out. Painting the inside dark is key IMO. Figure out some way to anchor it down. I built a couple on mine on wagon running gears thinking that would be enough weight to hold them down. It wasn't. Put...

I sold coon top of $15 same on coyotes. Bobcats topped for me at $90 and fox at $75. Otters averaged $60 and beaver was $8 (only had a few and most were smalls). Nobody would buy skunks and I got $1 out of possums. Prices were higher in December but of course I didn't sell until the first of...

I make spools out of old disk blades with a couple of blade spacers (off the disk) between the blades. Then I use a tractor with a belt drive. I pull off the belt drum and replace it with a peice of square rod that I made to bolt on to the belt drive. Slip the spool over the rod and clamp it on...

I would drive down from Memphis to see that sometime. I didn't know there was anyone on here that close to me.

Let me tell you a story about a stupid Mo boy hog hunting in South Texas. In the mid 90s a bunch of us loaded up our bows and headed down for some javelina and feral bow hunting. We were all experienced hunters but none of us had ever hog hunted and I was the only farm boy in the bunch. We got...

I have a wire hanging on eclectic line poles that is a long 1/4 mile from the barn to the start of the fence. It never fails that I get shocked on this fence. The first time I got hit I knew I had unplugged the fencer but went and checked anyway, it was, touched it again, shocked again, just...

It will hold but it will get very loose and it will have trash on it you will have to remove. It will also pull your corners if they are not heck for stout. Been there, done that, bought the tee shirt. I used to use seasonal fence around a couple hay fields for fall and winter pasture but...

If you are going to out lay some money why not consiser a small pond. I don't have any idea how the land lays but it is a one time out lay of cash for the pond and a tank below it and then no worries about if you get a flood.

I had a neighbor who didn't want to wait for ice and he had a track hoe come in and reach out and push the pipes in for him. He used metal pipe, pushed them in and then pumped the water out and filled them with cement. He had a local wielder build the deck and the hoe lifted the deck out and...
