Sorry I'm slow comming back, my BCUK forum access is intermitent... I keep forgeting to have a look at the book shop.. I'll start bugging you, maybe about a barter/trade? when it comes time for it to cure... G.

Wonderful thread! a lot of great information, and you've got me digging the web for more info.. :) I'm a sucker for the home made, home grown, self suport type stuff anyway. How do I go about conning/trading you out of a bar after it cures? :D Gary

Having never been deer hunting....my general knowlege leaking out here.... having read a lot of acounts of good/clean kills, it depends on the animal itself, some are sturdier than others and it just takes a little longer for the body to shut down. I've read of rifle shots that go through the...

We have lots of wolf dog mixes up here, some people breed wolf in on purpose if possible, for dog sled teams. A friend of mine has one that is at least 75 lbs, and big. Friendliest k9 I've ever met. that thing looks like a chow mix. G.
