Linda Burnett, 23, a resident of Arkansas, was visiting her in-laws and while there went to a nearby super-market to pick up some groceries. Later, her husband noticed her sitting in her car in the driveway with the engine running and the windows rolled up. Her eyes were closed with both hands behind the back of her head. He became concerned and walked over to the car. He noticed that Linda's eyes were now open and she looked very strange. He asked her if she was okay; Linda replied that she had been shot in the back of the head and had been holding her brains in for over an hour (at least it seemed that way to her, it actually had been 15 minutes; she blamed the inability to tell time on her head injury). The husband called the paramedics, who broke into the car because the doors were locked and Linda refused to move her hands. When they finally got in, they found that Linda had a wad of bread dough on the back of her head. From the back seat a biscuit canister had exploded from the heat, making a loud noise that sounded like a gunshot, and the wad of dough hit her in the back of her head. When she reached back to find out what it was, she felt the dough and thought it was her brains. She initially passed out, but quickly recovered. Linda is blonde, a Democrat, and a Biden supporter; but that could all be a coincidence. The defective biscuit canister was analyzed and it was determined to be Trump's fault.

One of the best threads on here in awhile. I have 3 young boys and their was some great information shared! My oldest just killed his first javelina and after he took the shot he ask me if i was shaking too. Priceless.

If you enjoy hunting by yourself that's your right, but personally I like hunting with friends. I also don't feel this is the place to voice your opinion when the intent was to help a KID! I just don't understand why fellow hunters have to be so devisive! Why can't you just be happy our passion for hunting is being shared and most likely continued with a future generation!!!! This type of devisive and negative talk is why so many good people have stopped contributing to this forum!

I only have 2 left.

having some help is one thing. Having as many people as you can find to insure success is another. now in the age of instant gratification, I expect team hunting only to grow. To some there’s more important things.

Phoenix Shooting Bags makes some super sweet bags. Ultra lightweight and field ready. I love mine! You can check them out by CLICKING HERE. The "TBD" bag is one of those "Why didn't I think of that?!" products. I can roll the top for a firmer bag or unroll for a soft cradle effect while in field positions. Nice.

I often have the 27" Harris attached. I find the extra 2" over the common 25" handy when sitting. A set of crossed sticks under the rifle butt really helps with steadiness too. https://www.harrisbipods.com/HB25CS.php?

No they are different. they also need to be pre cooled

She had a blessed year drawing an unlikely tag her first try and then getting to take this bull with one shot of the 7MM at about 45 yards in self defense as he was coming to trample us:) This was 10/3 at 4pm in the afternoon. We never could find any rutting action and never saw a cow in the two days we hunted. We just had moved sides of the unit to try an old area for the evening and had hiked into a secluded area. My daughter is a good hiker and we were just cold cow calling every couple hundred yards and this guy let out a very faint quick half-a-second groan/sigh really, like the very very end sound portion of a bugle, at maybe 100 yards or so, I'm sure from his bed. I was pretty sure it was an elk, but expected it to be a spike or something, but within a matter of seconds we saw him coming, we jumped down prone and got her all set up. She is really good at finding things in the scope but this time wasn't much of a challenge haha. My father dropped back to continue cow calling during this time, and the bull never really stopped coming so I had to eventually tell her to just shoot him before he got too close. He went down in about 10 seconds, and she was a very happy hunter!

I am 5'3 very short!

I have a Phoenix glassing pad. Really good product.

As dry as it is, I think water will be key. Consider putting a cam on the water if you are sitting during the hunt, and check if/when elk are coming in. I stopped in an outfitter friend's camp several years ago. Their cams showed the bulls were watering at noon, but their late archery hunters wanted to be in camp eating lunch (weird choice). Regarding the bow, friend's wife double lunged with complete penetration her bull with a 45 pound bow.

Tom, Why didn't you start your own post on how you hate the way people hunt? Maybe write a book. Instead you choose to be negative and add your know bullshit twist to it. Like they had spotters in every part of the unit. Who doesn't want to help a kid out! They should have a great experience while they are young. Hunting will humble you as you get older. Did you kill your sheep by yourself? Congrats on a sweet buck. Can't wait until my son gets his first deer! Tom maybe next year you can teach me and my son how to hunt the right way.

If you can’t shoot fast you need to shoot heavy. You only gain energy from speed and/or weight. With a heavy enough arrow out of a compound your range shouldn’t hinder you much. People kill stuff with recurves all the time.

ill take all three for 90

Could be battery. Can Am will go into limp mode for low battery voltage. Check voltage....Should be between 12.5v to 13v. Start machine and while running check voltage to see if the machine is charging. Should be around 14v to 14.5v.

Very astute observation for a young man. Keep that attitude. 👍

I don’t think anybody has a problem with choosing to hunt that way. What does bug me is when grown men and women feel like they have to poo poo the way someone hunted in a story they chose to share with the whole site, just because it isn’t exactly the flavor of hunting they prefer. Imagine if some dude came on here and said how stupid you were for hunting 1:1 with your grandson. What if long range guys came on here and told guys that shoot deer at 200 yds that their way of hunting was inferior or lame or whatever. Why do people find it necessary to come gripe about how someone else chooses to hunt. What if guys who shoot dinks came and bitched about guys shooting bucks that are “too big”. I just don’t get why people feel compelled to come on a site, read someone else’s story and then complain about it as if it will somehow cause everyone else to have some revelation about the enlightened form of hunting. It would be super cool if people were just like.. “Great buck, congrats!”

Like Rica was, Clover has been a 24/7 companion. Her next hunts will be for quail.

my Grandma's made venison ham, would use a syringe with long needle and inject brine alongside the bone so it cured from bone out, cover with cheesecloth and hang in the barn for a month or so. I regret not getting the brine recipes they used.

I love my britts. These are my first 2. Losing my lab Daisy broke my heart. I’ll be getting another Brittany soon. The 8 year old is gonna start slowing down a bit and will have to start staying home on some hunts which will break his heart.

After letting it rest a few days in the fridge, the texture issue seems to be gone. The pieces off on end are rubbery. The rest delicious and ham texture. Overall I give the project a B. For Javelina meat (or game meat ham in general) I give it an A. Changes for next time. - Find a sweeter cure. Maybe a Honey Ham recipe. - Reduce cure time. - Cut pork fat thinner for rolling in roast.

this explains all the wounded bears each year... I found 4 dead bears a couple years ago

I have one staring at me right now
