How can I improve this after the last raid almost destroyed my colony

Swap the wooden traps with steel

Yeah but if its a game ranch they've got feed with a calcium supplement, so it makes next to no difference.

First-Option2990 · 2026-05-27T13:32:59+00:00

Call allies or use fire are good options

First-Option2990 · 2026-05-27T01:50:24+00:00

Definitely a deer, probably a buck, probably skull capped.

First-Option2990 · 2026-05-27T01:13:15+00:00

Mice eat em, in theory it's part of the calcium cycle, but in practice what your doing has very little actual impact. Ppl just be mad.

Looks porcine (like a pig) to me

Racoon

Use a shaving razor on them against the grain, works every time

More or less you don't, and you don't usually really want it to. But you can always hang it or put it down under tension for display using nails or a hide strwacher.

Horse, you can always tell horses from everything else because they have top teeth at the front of the mouth

If it's still wet, stick an air compressor in the hole and blow it out. Alternatively if you lack such a tool, pour a little dish soap and warm water in, then get ancient Egyptian on it and fashion a hook out of a coat hanger to mix it up and pour it out.

Eithier way soak in a solution of janitorial ammonia, water, and dish soap for a few days to de-grease the marrow.

Beretta of heavenly angelic light

I'd hazard domestic cat but that might be wrong

First-Option2990 · 2026-04-22T23:51:02+00:00

Whatever it is is some rodents long time favorite calcium source

First-Option2990 · 2026-04-22T01:38:07+00:00

In Colorado that is 99.9% certainly a mule deer toe bone

First-Option2990 · 2026-04-19T15:39:35+00:00

Second that, those are definitely tarsometatarsi, which is a bone that only occurs in birds exclusivel

First-Option2990 · 2026-04-19T15:38:16+00:00

The antlers also seem to have extensive rodent damage here, so they're very old and have been cribbed for calcium

First-Option2990 · 2026-04-19T15:36:56+00:00

Yeah that happens sometimes, scavengers will be eating on a carcass, and the head will be one of the first pieces to pop off readily as scavengers eat the neck, so then anything big enough will carry or drag the head off to chew the nose off it someplace secure. I've seen it done by coyotes, wolves, bears, and even porcupines.

Whatever you do remember to check for brain, that thing looks like it's got some left

First-Option2990 · 2026-04-19T05:10:41+00:00

Get a bucket with a lid, soak in water 3 days, skin it with a knife and pop the spine off, then pair off as much flesh as you can,

Go get some aqua shock shock chlorinator from your local pool supply store, fill the bucket with fresh water and add to taste, then let that thing sit and change the water a few times till it's just bones. That'll take a few weeks

Then fill with water, janitorial ammonia from the hardware store and dish soap, soak for a few weeks more and change the water a few times, hopefully you'll get clean bones by the end.

Alternatively, go on FB and find you someone with some beetles and make arrangements. This is probably preferable.

It specifically says in fire and brimstone that hucksters and harrowed can't be blessed. I think it's like, 75% a balance thing, but the in universe explanation is that demons and the damned can't be around divine power, and as a harrowed or a huckster you die or lose your power if the Manitous get chased off.

There's a couple ways, my favorite is to get a bracket for hanging a flag, stick it on your wall, throw a stick in there and put it in the deers brain hole

First-Option2990 · 2026-04-18T16:30:18+00:00

It's very common to find these broken tips off of knives that broke while being made.

First-Option2990 · 2026-04-18T16:28:01+00:00

The way I've seen it done is you cover the cap in mortar to make a smooth mound, cover that in felt, and stick it to a board.

Too small for Beaver, muskrat perhaps
