I went calling today. 2 sets first one was at Carter. I had 2 come in from different directions, they were about to tangle, I took a shot 235 yards, missed. I left the caller on Kiyi as I picked up my stuff. I looked up and had one looking at my decoy. I set back up to shoot, 249 yards, I laid down, I tried to get it to stand, no luck. So I shot. Kawop. The feet went into the air. I crossed the coolie to get it's head. I looked for an hour and I couldn't find it in the grass. Dang. I then went to the Moffit bridge, P dog town, and walked out and set up. Freeking deer in every draw, the coyotes would try to come in, and the does would run them off. 3 coyotes tried, no luck, BUT I looked over my shoulder to see one on MY side of the canyon at 49 yards. It was so intent on looking at the decoy, it didn't see me turn around and shoot him. I got his head. So I called in 7 dogs, 3 shots, 2 dead, and I saw 3 road dogs. home at noon  ------------- Remember: Four boxes keep us free ,the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, AND the cartridge box |

Being alone, I suspect Christopher is out on fires. Were there many prairie dogs? I'm still planning on a 1 or 2 day trip to shoot with you in the town I showed you on the map when you were here several weeks back. ------------- Trigger Control is knowing when not to pull it. |

 I got it skinned today (Thursday) and only found 2 ticks on me afterwards. Anyway I get most the meat off and dig out the eyeballs. I put it in to my boil bucket with a bit of Dawn, and a half cup of borax. I'll let it simmer all night. I have a fishing trip set up with my GD tomorrow (Friday) so I'll turn off the fire and let it soak till Sat. I may warm it back up if its really cold, Rinse it of with the hose , use the air compressor to blow out anything left. On a deer head I don't keep the lower jaw but on the predators I want them. I take great care to keep all the teeth in place some will need to be glued back in. I use hair bleach to whiten the bone as needed. To answer your question I have sold/ traded them in the past, I can get rid of as many as I can get finished.

 Boiled off and cleaned up  I bleached it and rinsed it off. I had some teeth come out so I'll have to let it dry very well and glue them back in. I'll then reattach the jaw and spry it with a mat clear coat. One more in the trading bin.  ------------- Remember: Four boxes keep us free ,the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, AND the cartridge box |
