I like this time at night on HBT

[emjay]

Supreme Court of Canada just UNANIMOUSLY struck down the country's anti-prostitution/anti-brothel laws as unconstitutional (though it won't go into effect for a year, to allow time for appeals).

Now, if only the courts could apply the same common sense to the other non-violent, victimless crimes known as drug prohibition...

Well that'll give you some time to stock up on red light bulbs.

Got both my firearms and my hunting license in September 2012, but still have yet to hunt big game.

But this PYT almost literally landed at my doorstep today. Looks like good eats.

Did you shoot it or did it just land there? I did not shoot a deer again this year. I really meant to. Consider skinning/butchering yourself. It is not that hard and you can be much more particular with trimming.

It landed there. Freshly hit, and within minutes a number of people asked if they could take it, which really surprised me. Had it been a big buck I might have offered it to somebody as long as I got half or even a quarter of the meat. But this doe is both much easier to handle, and will almost definitely provide better meat. So, back off *******, she's mine!!

The thing is now dressed, skinned, and hanging (butcher will process it for me early Sunday), and I'm wondering how to help protect it from scavengers until then.

I need a word for "man who strained his neck trying to see across his belly to contemplate its button".

How about "Labroinken"?

What's that supposed to mean? Ambient light, perfect composition ( I moved my underwear out of the shot). I have some significant grey on my chin though. Should I dye? I keep thinking the itching is over but it won't stop....

That's why I finally decided to keep the beard off. To itchy, and it never really did stop.

I was happy to find the fault in my photograhy skills lays (lies?)with my poor beard growing genetics.

I read the last word in that sentence as "genitals" the first time.

Hmm, hunters back home would rub the outside with black pepper to keep the flies off. I doubt that's going to be an issue for you this time of year though. Other then that, they were just careful how they hung the meat. Either that, or started processing it immediately. Dried, salted, smoked, or butchered, whatever the particular person wanted.

Was the deer skydiving? Or did it get punted off the road by a truck or something? I saw a deer hanging in a 30 ft tree on the median of 495 a few years ago. Strangely funny.

I hit a deer while doing 75 mph on the pike about 10 years ago. The last I saw of the deer was in my rearview mirror as it cartwheeled into the path of several tractor trailers. There wasn't much left to butcher. I'm just glad the thing didn't go through my windshield.

It just got hit by the bottom of my driveway. Wasn't too hard and the only visible damage initially was a broken tibia poking through the skin near it's rear knee. Eventually it became clear the spine was badly damaged and that's pretty much definitely how it died so quickly without really being mangled.

Cool. That's a nice bit of meat from the roadkill gods. Do you have a freezer?

2 upright fridge/freezer combos (plus another miniature unit), and 2 chest freezers.

Glad it was a quick kill. I had a friend who hit a deer with his truck; it was badly injured but was not killed. He had to finish the job with the only tool he had, a dull 8-lb splitting maul. He said the situation "was chock full of suck".

I'm going to do a bit of rambling and not sure where this will lead.

Believe it or not, most of my time on HBT nowadays is spent on this particular thread. Tonight after having a few glasses, maybe MORE of Cabernet Sauvignon, on an empty stomach no less.. I told myself I needed to get back out on HBT into the threads that brought me to this sight! I have been doing that all afternoon. Slow day at work.

Should I go through all them? I think not! For one thing that would be boring, for another valid reason I don't remember them all.

Eff... what was my point? Give me a virtual second.. ( love a virtual second; in real time I could continue this post 24 hours from now but by the time you read the next word it will only be separated by a comma or semi-colon)

Totally lost my train of thought trying to remember how to spell second.

As, Arnold, said.. I'll Be Back!

Should I really post this? Probably not.. It's the wine's fault officer!

 

[passedpawn]

I had to quote you before you deleted. Good stuff Dan. Get some sleep and let's spend the holiday together in this dumb forum.

Good morning all!

Ow, my head, my eyes...where are my sunglasses? I over did it last night. That's what I get for drinking wine, not beer.

I want to post a song but the only thing running through my wine soaked hung over brain is "Walkinging on Sunshhine" .. Ow! Sunlight!

 

[HefeHood]

Morning Dan. What drags u out of bed so darn early? Still dark here at 525 am. Maybe some rain, other than that cool for us, highs in the low 50's. Picked up some more christmas lights on sale the other day. Will get them in the trees this weekend. Hope the hang over doesn't impact ur day to long. Merry Christmas to all!

 

[LabRatBrewer]

Morning Dan:

 

[lschiavo]

Dan went back to bed. I think he posted in his sleep this morning just out of habit.

Don't expect any early morning posts from me tomorrow. Tonight is our Christmas part with plenty-o-booze. I would just be laying on the couch tomorrow watching football anyway. I guess I may as well be hung over right?

 

[Leadgolem]

My soda water keg kicked today. So, I pulled that out cleaned and refilled it. Then kegged my something awful.

I'm annoyed that it didn't dry out more. 1.164 to 1.12, so only 5.9% and really sweet. I'll use it as a sweetened carbonated base for mix drinks like I planned, but I'll probably mix it with some straight soda water and some distilled alcohol in the glass. In addition to the flavoring for the drink I mean.

I have to admit I'm enjoying being able to make whatever soda I want at the time. That's a lot more convenient then having a keg of one kind of soda. Here I thought the recommendation to do a keg of water was slightly nuts. I think I'll get some more of the soda stream flavoring bottles.

Good afternoon/evening.

I've been bottling a Bourbon Vanilla Imperial Porter and IPA for presents for my neighbor, brother and his wife and some of their family that we're going to see in a few days. I got rid of my counter pressure bottle filler a while back so it took me a while to figure out how to get it bottled but I think it went well.

My mom is coming into town tomorrow and then Monday we travel to Iowa for most of the week. Hopefully the weather will be ok.

Merry Christmas everyone.

P.S.

I'm sorry lschiavo but I had to shave. I couldn't take it anymore!

Doh! I thought we were in this together Mine is still itching. It keeps me angry. I think I like to be just a bit angry.

Have a safe and happy holiday!

Raptor. I hope that's not concrete. If so, I'd stay indoors.

It could be Dan. We haven't heard from him for 12 hours.

El chupacabra!

Or you know, yeah. Raccoon hind print. If it's raccoon then it should be about 4 inches.

That's definitely a snipe.

Good evening late niters. Hope the ramp-up to Christmas feels like a ramp-down. Here's a little ditty for your late nite soundtrack. Rehab.

Says that video is blocked in my country...try again.

...now I'm actually concerned about where I am. Seems as though I may have slipped into an alternate universe.

Holy moly. If you stare at it long enough the image is clear. It's the devil pushing his face through rock. Pointy chin sticking out. Bulbous nose with a spike out the right nostril, beady heavily lidded eyes.

Or maybe just a raccoon foot.

 

[LabRatBrewer]

Consulting the great google, its seems the print is likely a large dog or coyote because of the nails showing. Not a clear picture, but a raccoon should have one more finger unless is a hind print. It can't be Dan, if he was that close to my home we'd be having a brew. Could be a snipe, I'm going out to look for snipes later with my son.
