Great job and welcome to the hunting community.

HOLY back blast Batman! That was unreal !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought you said he was the only big buck, what about the one in the background? I'd shoot either one!

great job, better shooting than I did when I was 12.

So you make them into "Chip Beef" Nice

Amanda and I was talking last week about there aren't many posts on Squirrel hunting or how we prepare them. This meal started over a week ago when I harvested the Squirrels. After cleaning them I place them in a Ziplock bag with only water, (salt only makes them tougher) place the bag in the fridge. I leave it for a week or longer. Now cut them up, take all the legs off then the lower back section. If they are the larger Abert Squirrel you can get some meat off of the back between the front shoulders. In one bowl mix GP flour with salt and pepper, in another beat four eggs. In a skillet heat your oil over medium heat. Dredge pieces in the flour then eggs and back to the flour. Start with the back sections and hind legs, turn after four minutes turn. Place the front legs in pan. Turn all pieces after four minutes then cover. Turn another two times. When done remove from pan, turn up heat to high and place remaining flour into pan stir until golden brown. Add cold water to pan along with salt and pepper and stir. Turn off hear when the gravy is the desired consistency. During the covered cooking I finished the mashed potatoes and home canned green beans. Enjoy with your favorite beverage. (Bass Beer)

Thank you for posting this heart tugging story. Cherish the memories you have with your Pa and all that you have learned from him. Take that knowledge and pass it on to the next generation weather its your own or others, that knowledge IS priceless.

The main thing is that they rest in the fridge for at least a week, that way they age and will be tender as long as you don't overcook them.

I didn't have buttermilk for good biscuits.

It's just simple good Southern cooking. If you wanted you could add spices to the flour like; onion powder, garlic powder and paprika.

SAY what?

Very well played! Also glad to here there wasn't a 200" mulie involved either. haha YOU SIR ARE A CLASS ACT!

That is what we all strive for. The determination, patience, and perseverance to put an end to the story with pics of the man holding the TROPHY. Great job and great bull.

KING'S Desert Shadow!!!

I always get them in with OREO's.

LMAO This is no laughing matter elkhunter1. I get so sick and tired of reading posts on here of wounded coues that are not retrieved because the hunter made a poor sawing motion. With today's knife technology, is it really ethical to be using bone saws these days? The bone saw technology has also evolved. You can get a 20 volt Lith-ion cordless saw. I believe it also is very quite so you can have it on as you jump out of you tree stand on top!

LMAO

BUCK 110 and an old K-BAR Hunter.

what color?

I have taken pigs with both 38spl and my 9mm. The latter was with Hornady XTP 147 grn. My Taurus is sighted at 50yrds and have had no problems so far. I also carry my bow with me in case there is a really big one that will go in the books. Good luck Casey, I know you'll do fine either way you go.

could someone try to resize those top pics. want to look at some horn porn. I can try

I have some pics for you (not 200") but good bucks non-the-less. ENJOY

Why are we getting upset over what the original poster ask for "our opinion" of what constitutes a trophy bull? Can't we just respond without all the drama?

UN FREAKING BELIEVABLE I seriously hope that principal doesn't ever need the police. If I was the responding officer I would show up with my straw and spit balls.
