How'd you fare in the deer hunting arena? Our rifle season ends tomorrow, and I've yet to drop the hammer on a single deer. Seen plenty, more than ever before, actually, but nothing worth spending a bullet on...all young stuff from the Spring. If I'm going through gutting, skinning, and cutting up a deer, I'm getting more than a sandwich out of the deal.

Yes, bullets are so expensive.

DYK that the Chinese government, after an execution, charges the family of the executed for the price of the bullet?

Never heard of that one, but it doesn't surprise me at all.
.243 ammo is $1/shot; that was 2-3 years ago. That's why I sight in with 2 shots

I haven't hit the blind yet this morning; seldom see anything this early, anyway. Giving the temp in the blind to get up there a bit, as well, too; plugged it in about 2 hrs ago. Where is it written that deer hunters have to freeze their tushes off? Yeah, I admit it; I'm spoiled. I figure I've suffered enough; why volunteer to keep doing it when I don't have to?

Wood box is empty; time to bring a couple loads in; catch you later.

And did he lose the points?

I just went out with the red headlamp to double check how they sit on the roosts and the ventilation. Ventilation is as expected, very good, BUT - their tractor coop is one of the first I built before modification to add the roosts, and the roof is set a little lower than the other tractor coops, so less headroom. And indeed I found Monkey on one end of the roost - comb not touching the HW cloth when I looked, but easy to see how it might when he raised his head. I think this is what may have happened, comb touching very cold metal of HW cloth overhead. I think I may lower their roosts a couple inches.

Meanwhile, wondering how the comb will look tomorrow. It would be great if I got a "heads up" in this before any major stuff. (I don't care about appearance, but I'd rather him not be in pain or injured if avoidable.)

Good morning,
My bird's points were darker black and the points were lost. I would bet that your bird will keep the points but will have some skin flake off.
