Not So Pro 3

[Mastermind]

Hard core round bales will burn pretty easy if the hay isn't dry...speaking from experience Have you considered adding an acid applicator to allow you to bale on the damp side?

No....but I'm looking into now.

don’t look at the pics below if you think Bambi is cute and don’t like dead animals


I had a friend of a friend around earlier today. That road kill deer I picked up Saturday morning still warm was in my shed 5 days hanging supposedly more tender and tasty…
The stuff in its stomach was starting to ferment

I gave her a bit more than half for doing the job that I wasn’t keen on doing

Nope. I wouldn’t eat it.

Here's the $64 million dollar question...why did the guts not come out from the get-go days ago when you hauled him back to the house/shop?

Should’ve been gutted right there in the ditch

My friend Peggy hit a deer year's ago
And wounded it
She didn't have a gun
So she beat it to death with a tire iron.
Which her being 80/90 pounds probably took awhile
To put it out of it's misery
She came to work and was telling me about it
And I said
It would've been fine and ran off
If she hadn't beaten it with a tire iron.
She started crying and cussing me
That was year's ago and she still gets mad about it.

I suppose that all depends on how wounded it was.

Honestly I know several guys that let them hang a week
But they always gut them
The meat is nearly black and they trim the out layer's off.
They like it

It’s more tender

I'd have it pumped every 5 years or so just to get the solids out.

That's what the honey dipper told me a few weeks back when we had ours pumped for the first time since we moved in 7 years ago. He said it wasn't all that bad and have it done every 5-7 years to remove solids.

As far as that deer goes Sean put the road rash on, if them mf'ers on Texas Chainsaw Massacre many decades ago could do it with human peckers and whatnot in that nasty ass, hot, damp basement in Tx...hell why not. Lol

 

[Woodpecker]

If you roll it up greenish.....then wrap it, it sorta ferments, and the cattle love it. Higher in protein too.

A lot of the dairy farmers around here chop it and pile it for haylage. Same concept. Let it ferment under a tarp. The farmer up the road uses billboard tarps to cover his.

This reminds me of killing rats at my Grandpa's farm. They were hammered from drinking the silage runoff out of his silo.

You have an odd set of standards.

I cut its throat when I got back, but I was told I didn’t need to do that, by the African woman that helped me, so I guess there’s many ways to skin a cat so to speak But organising this and the wet weather didn’t help.

If I ate meat from that deer
I wouldn't venture far from a toilet.

I'm gonna be trying some to night.. well cooked… stay tuned for tomorrow’s review

It's to make deer gravy

Soppin’ action…surprised the whole thing ain’t a pile of gravy on the floor by now.

It smelt a bit ripe. That arse end still had poop in the poop shoot

I’ve got a bacon and deer stew tonight, I used the smelly stuff to test, ( the arse end was ripest ) if I’m good with this. Then the rest will be ok

but this is a lesson I will learn from,,, The next time it will happen on the following day.

 

[Wonkydonkey]

Not yet. I try to be sure they are good and dry. That's why I am waiting to cut these last few fields. Gonna take some serious heat to dry this clover. If I was wrapping them, I'd leave them outside anyhow. Most hay that burns is square baled. Lots tighter than a round bale.

here you can get probes for check temps in bales . I think it does moisture as well. But I only over heard the guy in the farm machinery store talking to another guy , while I was buying a chain and files..

You guy's have free healthcare

Hahhah tru dat. I thought us Cajuns ate some weird things. But hell I’d still probably try that if I was as you said close to a toilet lol

Good afternoon fellas.

 

[JoeDirt]

I've seen the same many times, just not my method of madness, but the guts gotta come out immediately. Now hanging in a cooler for a week/ten days after gutted is a whole different thing...

I don't hunt nor do I have any real interest in doing so, but my understanding was that you gotta gut the deer right away or it will spoil the meat.

They say within 8-12 hours but i always field dressed them. Not to mention they stink, and if you gut shot it.....well, you just have to smell it to understand why its best to do it outside and leave it in the woods.

Morena sewer system fillers.
Headin in. 4c. That's cold for here. The upside is it'll be beautiful and calm later, as is known by the 20 or so fishing boat owners who are heading to the launch spots before 7am.
Don't know what size Huskies they carry for anchors sorry @dall...

Keep safe ay.

Another 039 confirmed kill.

 

[Kiwioilboiler]

Made some good progress on said drainage.
Drainflo laid and backfilled with 40/16 stones.
Good feeling to have it finally done but I was well over squidgying past the cupboard and stairs to bucket the metal in on the far side after 20 trips or so.....

Maybe this hack will come in handy for someone someday....
If you are laying drainflo and need to close an end, hacksaw cut down the middle about 12 inch then make a cross cut to remove one side
Fold over and line up the corrugations. Secure.
No critter or earth access, no cost either. Old fulla who showed me it rolled eyes when I once asked if I needed to get 'end caps'.
