2015 hunting season

[skyhightree1]

I decided im not ready to work yet so ill rabbit hunt this week. killed one yesterday too cold to go today and windy

 

[True Grit Farms]

Well the work begins tomorrow. Looks like we still need 5 or 6 more deer. I'm making 100lbs of slim Jims and snack sticks, 50lbs smoked Italian sausage and 50lbs of smoked jalapeno sausage. Might just make a batch or 2 of summer sausage also.

There's still a couple of deer left in the woods by the house. I have about a quarter mile radius around the house that's a no hunting zone, and the deer know it.

Figured time to put the smoke house to use.

What kind of trip mechanism does your trap have CB?

 

[Caustic Burno]

Cable that is wired to the floor that runs up through eyes on the top of the trap
to the door trip. This has been the best design I have used until now for coons.
Takes a hog rooting around to trip it usually.

I don't deer hunt but still chasing beaver here. Got another one last night with .22 around 11pm. That's 3, but with all the rain, pond level keeps coming up and I can't get to the traps.

I have about retired my 22LR and Mag for lack of quality ammo.
I still have several bricks of each of CCI Stingers and Winchester in 22 mag.
All you can find here is junk unless you want to pay robbery prices.
I have went to my 44 rifles with hot 44 specials handles most anything out to a 100 yards
and I can reload them.
Hate to shoot my stockpile of good stuff until it becomes available here again if it ever does.
Dun probably remembers I had the Lee reloader for 22 LR they made a 100 years ago.
Priming was the problem only about 2 out of 3 would shoot.

I've had the same problem with 22 LR and 22 mag. So I've started using my .17. It's a sweet shooting caliber and ammo is easy to come by here. For now.

CB, I don't have any advice on how to deal with the coons. Maybe let sky come down and run me with his dogs :lol2:

I love the .17 HMR. Those Hornady V-Max bullets are like dynamite.

Yes they are ga prime. That's about all I shoot any more in my .17 and my deer rifles.

I know I don't want to wind up in front of their stand. It seems they shoot pretty straight :clap:
