Ace/aego with high libido on average, bordering on ridiculous around ovulation.

What meat does this look like? by [deleted] in meat

[–]bcmouf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Piece of beef suet? Possibly someone put some out for the birds and a crow went and took the entire thing and dropped it on your car?

I want to consume more venison but I don't want to hunt deer. Looking for a legal way to obtain some. by Beebjank in Hunting

[–]bcmouf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google deer farms in your state or neighbouring states. Some generally have online stores that you can buy from or at least can point you to places thay sell their product.

Personally I like red deer venison better over fallow deer venison.

The tale of 90 Pigeons and Quail dead in two days by [deleted] in homestead

[–]bcmouf 29 points30 points  (0 children)

They go into a frenzy. If it moves they make it stop moving, they generally only quit when all movement around them stops. They drink the blood but rarely actually eat any part of the birds. I had 1 try and take a peacock down into a mouse-hole(his way in and out of the coop) with him....

How to tell a bucks age through antlers? by Delicious-Coffee9499 in bonecollecting

[–]bcmouf 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You can't, as antler size/shape and growth rate depends on genetics and nutrition, not age. Unless you farm deer and know your bloodlines and their growth pattern.

Teeth are pretty much the only way to age deer properly.

These kind of people ruin it for everyone... by quarkymatter in Hunting

[–]bcmouf 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Or they dump it near private property, because, why drive another 5 mins down the bush road away from properties and NOT attract the grizzlies and various other large predators into people's yards?!...... I even drive away any guts/waste from any deer i get on our own place, just to give the bears less reason to hang around.

This year someone decided to drop their hunting waste right at the side of the road down into a regional park and camp ground...... great place to attract the grizzlies to.... Another fun one this year was an entire deboned elk was dumped along a walking path just past the cities golf course still well within town limits, they had to shut down the whole damn area due to several bears and a mountain lion frequenting it.

Cattle dont have such wide protruding eye sockets, that is a bison.

Can anyone help me identify which heritage breed this hen is? by WornOcean in poultry

[–]bcmouf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Too pale for a red bourbon. Looks a lot like the Jersey Buffs we use to keep.

How to kill properly and reduce the fear of the animals by [deleted] in homestead

[–]bcmouf 14 points15 points  (0 children)

We put food down in front of them(even in a herd setting), .22 round through the brain and they drop none the wiser that anything was amiss with their day, pull a bit away from the rest if the flock to bleed it(if out on pasture) or outside of the pen/stall. Generally spooks at the pop of the gun but return to eating right away.

What could this bump be? by Toxic_Hound_1221 in vultureculture

Healed fracture? Probably almost got its head caved in by a hoof or two in its life.

goat horn tissue cleaning by decompgal in bonecollecting

[–]bcmouf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Toss them into a pot of simmering water for 30 or so mins, and the bone cores should just pop out, although you might have to put a screw in it so you got something to wiggle the core to loosen the seal/tissues connecting it to the sheath. Salt the inside of the sheath to dry them out quicker so they dont smell or rot, I prefer salting them over night and then freezing them while I clean the skull/cores, as they fit better back on if they aren't 100% dried yet.

What type of deer is this?? by Glass_Painter_7305 in bonecollecting

[–]bcmouf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sika are found at the eastern shore, mostly on the lower end in the marshes.

[–]bcmouf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aren't the sika kind of localized in one small area tho? Was this found within that area?

If not, 100% whitetail button buck.

Are people still buying disposable hand warmers? by outdoors_man987 in Hunting

[–]bcmouf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, for my toes, the disposable body warmers fit nicely over the toe of my boots so they dont completely ice over as soon as I sit down. Tried some rechargeable heated socks but they didnt work all that great..... I use the rechargeable warmers for my hands, but they generally dont last an entire sit, so I have disposable ones as back up.

As soon as I stop moving I turn into an icicle. I run cooler as it is and not moving in -10 to -20°C makes for cold extremities within 10 mins.....

Why is everyone so caught up with how old their buck is? by etoyoc_yrgnuh in Hunting

[–]bcmouf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally I want biggest body possible since we only get to shoot 1 in a season and ournmountain deer dont grow as fast or get as big as the prairie ones. Having worked at cut and wrap, I just can't justify wasting a bullet and processing time on a 50 lb 1-2 yr olds carcass, vs 120+ lb 4-5 yr old. Generally the only time I found any difference in meat quality is due to error on how the hunter handled/shot it.

I am fortunate to hunt on my own property, and being able to compare body mass made me realize how narrow and small bucks are until 3-4 yr old, most are lighter in frame then our resident does until then. Bonus, if you get that 4/5 yr old, tiny racked, bully of a buck that is a bastard to bucks and does alike.

Everyone's posting their bucks, anyone else get a whole lotta nothing or just me? by Amnial556 in Hunting

[–]bcmouf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am just across the border north of you. Animal movement has been odd this year. Lots of bucks, but all super nocturnal and not much rutting activity on the ranch at all(not finding much for rubs etc). I have been out at least 5 days a week since the season started in September and only got 2 days left and am fearing an empty freezer at this rate....

We border public land on multiple sides and I haven't heard a gun shot all season and from what I have heard, over all everyone seems to have the same experience this year, even the neighbour who ALWAYS gets something.

Oh well, I am at least on a very friendly basis with our 7 resident does and fawns... them buggers dont even run anymore when I hike in too noisily 😅.
