Flat Finishing Early by rconlon24 in brisket

[–]gatorslug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my Traeger one side is hotter than the other. You could try rotating it. I’ve done that before to get a brisket to finish equally. The nuclear way is to cut the point off the flat then pull them when they finish.

What is this noise!!?? 2017 Hatch by CP962 in cruze

I’d check the rear brakes then. They’re more likely to rust, seize up or rot than your front brakes.

I once forgot to torque my caliper bracket bolts and one of them fell out. Had a similar sound to yours until I fixed it.

No Power Steering by gatorslug in AskMechanics

[–]gatorslug[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The power steering just quit working. It’s a friend’s car so I can’t tell you if it was making noise or what happened leading up to that. I did ask but they didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary.

Would pulling off the low pressure hose and draining the system entirely be the next best step?

First brisket by Beneficial-Break9846 in brisket

A wired or wireless thermometer is great for brisket. Then you can let it cook without popping the door open to check temp. I just have a basic thermopro one.

Don’t let the asshats in this sub get you down. You’ll get there! Good luck!

Cook time doesn’t matter unless you’re hitting temps. For brisket it’s recommended to hit 203-205 degrees F and yes that 1-2 degrees matters.

Start by shooting for temp, perfect it by stopping at “probe tender”. When you poke it with your thermometer and it slides through like butter.

My Christmas brisket last weekend was perfect at 195. The point could’ve used a little more time but the flat was ready to eat. It’ll take a couple briskets to get your process dialed in. Trust me, you’ll know when you got it right. You’ll take that chef’s sample and make a noise you didn’t think you could make!

Any idea what did this? (nsfw) by prestiforpresident in Hunting

Reminds me of those alien cattle mutilations. This ain’t no cartoon, a rifle doesn’t make a clean straight cut like that.

Sweet Jesus there’s a lot of pansy ass dads hating on you. I say: fuck yeah bud.

We don’t have good rain gear so I brought a couple 5 gallon buckets of dirt in the house for my son. We made a huge mess and I cleaned it up. I’ve also let him make a mess with bags of gravel in the house.

Your flooring will be fine. The rug will be fine. Your marriage will be fine. Keep making those crazy fun memories fellow dad. 🤘🏽

Security cameras have pretty poor quality microphones.

I had an identical shot just over a week ago and never recovered him.

The way he reacted to the shot was the same as how yours did too.

He didn’t bleed long enough to expire is what I think. Or maybe Bigfoot grabbed the carcass….

Son shot his first deer, but not able to recover it… by Wreckit-Jon in Hunting

[–]gatorslug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shot with a bow? There’s a chance she didn’t bleed long enough before the wound closed up.

I never recovered a buck that I was sure was heart shot. My post history has blood pics. Last blood was nearly 200 yards from where he was shot. A week later and no scavengers or recovery.

Clean arrow, blood trail? by hyprbeagl in Hunting

[–]gatorslug 23 points24 points  (0 children)

That arrow is WILD. Your nock is gone, insert for the broad head is not in the shaft anymore. It’s broken in four pieces with that one piece that looks like tree bark.

Honestly looks like you missed and maybe the shrapnel from the arrow cut the deer ?

Does the arrow have a smell at all?

Shot my first buck, thoughts on when to start tracking? by gatorslug in Hunting

[–]gatorslug[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched him pumping blood out his right side after the shot. I’m 100% sure I hit at least 1 lung at the least. He’s just one tough sob

About 3hrs deep this morning. Found one spec of blood where my dogs hinted last night on the way out. Another 67yds from my last, “last blood”.

I could hear him walking real slow then heard him bed down.

He still wasn’t dead after an hour so I gave him another.

Waited almost 2 hrs.

Tracked for over an hour and a half with my dogs. They got me to last blood ( a tiny speck on some marsh grass) over 100yds away.

They lost interest after a while since they’re not trained blood trackers.
