My wife just said "You weren't even listening were you" I thought, that is a weird way to start a conversation.
A man approaches a gorgeous woman in a department store and says to her "I have lost my wife somewhere in here, would you be able to talk to me for a little while". The woman replies "ok, but why?" The man then says "Because everytime I talk to a gorgeous lady my wife appears out of nowhere."
Love may be blind but marriage is a complete eye opener.
There are only 2 occasions where a man is unable to understand a woman, before marriage anafter marriage.
Definition of a successful husband - A man who earns more than his spouse can spend. Definition of a successful wife - A lady who is able to find such a man. Definition of a psychiatrist - An expensive therapist that will provide you with answers which your wife will give you for free.
Little Johnny asks his dad "How much does it cost to get married dad?" His dad replies " Well son, I have no idea, I am still paying for it."
Little Johnny says to his dad "I am going to get married" Dad: "That is great, do you have a little girl lined up Johnny?' Johnny: "Yeah, Nana. She is an excellent cook, she loves me and tells amazing bedtime stories" Dad: "Unfortunately you can't marry her son" Johnny: "What is the problem Dad?" Dad: "Well she is my mother, and you are not allowed to marry my mother Johnny." Johnny: "Why not? You married mine"
Jim and Bob were at the pub when Jim says "Someone stole my credit card the other day" Bob replies "Did you report it to the police?" Jim says "I was going to but now I dont' think I will" Bob replies "Why on earth not?" Jim then says "The thief spends less than my wife does".
My wife blamed me for ruining her birthday. That is ridiculous! I didn't even know it was her birthday.
It is my wife's birthday tomorrow, she has been leaving jewelry catalogues all around the house so I bought her a magazine stand..
Bob's wife is nude and looking at herself in the mirror. She says to him "Bob, look at me, I am old and wrinkly, I am fat and saggy plus my teeth look yellow and awful. I could really use a compliment from you right about now." Bob turns to her and says "Your eyesight is perfect."
I spent hours cutting this ladies lawn, and then she refused to pay me. When I asked why, she said.. Because we are married.

Was the baking just on a plain sheet pan, or in a covered vessel like a dutch oven with some braising liquid?
I ask because my guess would be that you'd have really dried out squirell after baking uncovered on a tray at 350 for 2.25 hrs.

I switched from vertical a few years ago. I hunt mostly out of a Summit climber which has a good rail to rest the crossbow on. Without a rail, I can see how a crossbow would be very awkward. Perhaps even worse for saddle hunters.

Guy at work told me he has a new pet termite.
Surprised to hear that, I asked what his name is.
He replied, "I named him Clint, Clint Eats Wood".

Sabrina, a young blonde, was watching the evening news with her much older husband Ernie, when the newscaster announced, "This just in… six Brazilian men plummet to their deaths in a skydiving accident…"
Upon hearing this, Sabrina suddenly started crying uncontrollably, much to the surprise of her husband. She was barely audible when she mumbled, "Oh my God! That's so sad!!"
Ernie attempted to console her. He said "Yes dear, it's sad, but they were skydiving, and had to know there was risk involved…."
Sabrina, still sobbing, asked, "I know that, but it's truly awful! I mean, exactly how many is a Brazilian?"

The meal was delicious however the loins were a bit chewy. Photos attached: We've all heard forever that tenderloins are the most tender cut and can be eaten right after the deer is brought in. I've never found them to be very good that way. Always rubbery. I bring them in, clean them up and put in the fridge for several days before I cook them. Then it's just salt and pepper, into an iron skillet with a little oil and a little more butter. Cook until medium-rare. Prepared this way they are truly one of the best cuts on the deer, but to tell the truth, given a choice I prefer the loin (backstrap).

Same here, I brought mine to work today as there's a few guys here that like venison.
My recipe is pretty simple. For about 4 lbs of meat, mix together the following: 2T Morton's Tender Quick 1T regular salt 1T garlic powder 1T black papper 1T chili pepper flakes 1T cayenne pepper 2T liquid smoke (not necessary if you plan to smoke the jerky) 1 cup soy sauce
Add to meat, mix well to distribute, refrigerate for 24 hours and then put on the dehydrator.

I've gotten the same look, but never for fudge.

I'm fixed, been that way since the birth of my last child. That's another story I guess.
Rage heads are what I call a "Plan A" broadhead. They are reliable when you can aim and shoot right where you want - through the lungs, hitting only ribs without heavy leg bone.
Sometimes you need a "Plan B" arrow, and that's a broadhead that will punch through the scapula and leg bones without a second thought. A good fixed head will do that more reliably than a mechanical.
I shot my buck with a NAP Spitfire. Woody recommended them a while back so I gave them a try. They look like a Plan A head to me. I took a Plan A shot, but I ended up spining the buck. The buck had use of his front legs for a minute, but by the time I reloaded the crossbow he was lying flat on his side and not moving. That head really did a number on some heavy bone. I shot him again anyway for insurance and that head hit bone too. Was able to buy new blades and rebuild the heads. The ferrules stayed straight.

I grind mine with 10-15% pork fat by weight. The grocery store gives me the fat from trimmings at no cost.

Some of you have probably heard of this already, but we just had it at work today and it's worth passing along. It's a good way to clear out all of last year's venison in the freezer.
It's not an exact recipe, but it is easy.
Put a venison roast or two in a crockpot.
Add 1 (or 2 of the following depending upon the amount of meat) dry packet au jus mix, dry packet ranch dressing mix, stick of butter and a jar of pepperoncini including all juice (hot or medium as you see fit).
Let it go 8 hours on low or perhaps 4 on high heat setting. You want it to shred.
Eat with mashed potatoes, bread/rolls, rice, whatever.
Feel free to take it in any direction you want by adding onions, other vegetables, hot chilis, etc.

The schwacker is designed to be able to puch through ribs on entry, then open inside the deer and leave a big exit for trailing. Looks like it worked.

An escalator can never break: it can only become stairs. You should never see an Escalator Temporarily Out Of Order sign, just Escalator Temporarily Stairs. Sorry for the convenience. My fake plants died because I did not pretend to water them. You know when they have a fishing show on TV? They catch the fish and then let it go. They don’t want to eat the fish, they just want to make it late for something. I like refried beans. That’s why I wanna try fried beans, because maybe they’re just as good and we’re just wasting time. When someone hands you a flyer, it’s like they’re saying here you throw this away. Rice is great if you’re really hungry and want to eat two thousand of something. This shirt is dry clean only. Which means… it’s dirty. I don’t have a girlfriend. But I do know a woman who’d be mad at me for saying that. I had a stick of CareFree gum, but it didn’t work. I felt pretty good while I was blowing that bubble, but as soon as the gum lost its flavor, I was back to pondering my mortality. I haven’t slept for ten days, because that would be too long. I think animal crackers make people think that all animals taste the same. You know, I'm sick of following my dreams, man. I'm just going to ask where they're going and hook up with 'em later. I order the club sandwich all the time, but I'm not even a member, man. I don't know how I get away with it. My belt holds up my pants and my pants have belt loops that hold up the belt. Who is the real hero? On a traffic light green means ‘go’ and yellow means ‘yield’, but on a , it’s just the opposite. Green means ‘hold on,’ yellow means ‘go ahead,’ and red means, ‘where the hell did you get that at?

I live in Granger, IN but mostly hunt in Michigan. This past Saturday AM the deer were moving good. Saw a small buck cruising just after good shooting light, an unidentified deer a little while later. I don't rattle often (hardly at all) but I figured I'd give it a shot and be a little more aggressive in trying to pull a deer in. I had rattled at 8 AM and nothing showed. 9 AM came and I rattled again. Not really banging the horns together, but more grinding and twisting while pulling them apart to get the sound of them sliding against each other, and then followed up with some grunts. I hung up the horns and jokingly told myself there ought to be a buck coming any second. It seemed like a minute before I heard something coming my way. Then I could see him all puffed up hooking brush as he made his way through the thick understory along the edge of a wetland about 50 yds away. I saw his rack and said to myself, "Good enough for me!" He kept coming straight at me until about 20 yds, looking for those bucks he heard fighting, and then finally turned enough to give me a shot. I buried the top crosshair on the Tenpoint scope and......THWACK!! I don't know how, but I spined him. He went down but his front legs were still working somewhat. I attempted to re-cock manually, but that wasn't happening in my climber. I got out the cocking lever (Thanks Woody for sending me your old cocking device!!) and by the time I was reloaded the deer was lying still at 30 yds, with his back facing toward me. I sent another bolt anyway and the deer seemed to flinch at the impact. Then all was still after that. The Buck was a nine point, with a split browtine. A little outside the ears and carried mass all the way out to the tips. Disregard the old fat guy holding my deer up.
