That damned Tool Farie stikes again

A couple bud's of mine were hunting in Northern Saskatchewan. They watched a guy get out of his truck, take two shots at a moose, across a cut from the road, stand there for a few minutes, then he got back in his truck and carried on, without being bothered to go check for blood or anything.

Guy was wearing sandals and shorts. What do you figure the odds were that he was going to hump a moose carcass out of the bush, even a short ways.

They had a chat with the Conservation officers about that particular "steward of the land", who said that was far too common. They would shoot, and if it did not drop in sight, it was not looked for.

Yeesh.

Yup. CNC cutter grinders for custom shapes and resharps, if you are going to bother at all.

Makes a lot of great, versatile grinder available for the hobby guys, while they last.

I can bring my own Marlin guide gun or borrow uncles hiwall. I shot up all my ammo for it yesterday but I'll make more....

The bar oil adds flavor to the meat. Use a sawzall with a long clean blade.

John

they have it right. Im aprox 1000 yrds to the south of the center of Taft, in an unencorperated area called South Taft.

Ayup. Who the hell wants to live in BH?

Gunner

Works for me.

Bring the Hiwall..I love em.

Gunner

Bar oil? You dont use oil on the blade. Fresh blood and tissue lubes the bar and chain really well.

Now a rechargeable sawzall would be pretty good and the sound doesnt carry very far. Which is important when its not your pasture, or your cow you are butchering .

Gunner

Sesame oil for bar oil? should work quite well. Might want to use canola in the engine though.

Hell, we used to slaughter th' cattle with a big assed sledge hammer that had a pointed, conical protrusion about 5" long on one end. Run 'em down a chute, lock a gate behind 'em and bury that sledge hammer between their eyes from a stand just above 'em.

Wrap a chain around their hind legs, raise 'em up via a chain hoist, bleed 'em gut 'em, skin 'em, and hang 'em for a week er so. We saved th' bullets fer huntin' .

I was going to ask,"something else you've heard of.." but then, iffen it is so quiet, who would hear it anyway? Sort of like the state which allow the sale and owner ship of silencers, but not the use of them. I mean, who would hear about it if you did?

This sort of fast and furious meat harvesting is fairly common in the western states. Usually illegal aliens will shoot a cow out in a distant field, and have it chopped up (chainsaw), loaded and be gone before the rancher hears the echo of the shot.

Errg. Not good. Tends to sour the milk of human kindness.

Indeed, and in some cases...earn you the S3 award

Shoot, shovel and shutup.

Some olive or peanut oil might not hurt. Blood tends to rust things. Something about hemoglobin and oxygen. That is why one should clean and oil his toad sticker after using it.

There is a lot of empty space out west.... The great lakes are very deep.... and hogs eat just about everything.

Wes

And even the most evil guy, is good, down deep.

Gunner

No..usually in a clapped out mini van or pickup truck. Lots of meat in a cow, if you simply are breaking it down into manuverable pieces...nearly a 1000 lbs.

Illegal aliens in flying saucers...now there is a concept....

Very true. Fading away rapidly with the failing schools and the products thereof...
