This is very true, Civilian Appointed positions/agencies within the government who control or influence policy. I have seen this first hand. Now, that’s why we need Trump, this crap will end at noon 20 January 2017. Hopefully I’ll be there as Trump takes the oath of Office, then go over too the Pentagon and personally help two of those squirrels pack.

The False Prophet:

‘Then Gabriel came to the apostle and said , “What have you done, Muhammad? You have read to these people something I did not bring you from God and you have said what He did not say to you.”‘

Speaking of bacon, someone asked me the other day if you took a pig to a butcher if you could request all of it be turned into bacon. I wasn’t able to control my laughter. Funnier yet they thought if you have a 250 lb pig you could get 250 lbs of bacon. Once I got my laughter under control I explained where bacon comes from and explained why a 250 lb pig doesn’t equal 250 lbs of meat.

Reading the physiology grammar school books from over a hundred years ago, and comparing that to what is taught today, it doesn’t surprise me one bit. The cookbook from the same time period devotes a several page chapter to building and maintaining a fire correctly in a wood stove and how air flow is controlled via the damper and flue.

Mother gave me a new version in 2006, but I love the old one best. The new version, by Mrs. Rombauer’s grandson, says you can’t follow meat recipes from the old cookbooks without modifying them, because there is so much lower fat content now in meat than there was in the 40s and 50s that the recipes just don’t work.

Fat content’s generally related to the animal’s level of activity and what it eats. Feedlot animals have more fat as they just sit in lots and feed, they have very little activity. Our range-fed cattle move around more, eat grass and not fattening feed so they’ll have less fat. I’d think that the fat contents of ‘modern’ feedlot cattle would be higher -I still have a larding needle we’d use way-back to fatten up roasts. Ah well, not a problem we hsve any longer, we want a great cut of beef we just use our local butcher shop and get exactly what we want, no more settling for what ‘they’ have.

Yesterday, my neighbor called. There’s a fox with 3 little babies who will play in his yard, then head up toward our house. We keep looking but haven’t seen them yet. They’re probably going to the side of our driveway right into the woods.
He told me that last week, a bear went through the front, automated doors of one of the grocery stores in our small downtown area. We’re waiting for the weekly newspaper to see the story. It was reported on a channel out of Atlanta. The bear went straight to the meat department and started eating chicken. It’s a little confusing about why it apparently took the Sheriff’s Department so much time to get there, since the deputies are all over the place here. Anyway, by the time they got there, someone had opened the back door and the bear had left.
A bear had visited our neighbor’s porch a few weeks ago, while they were out of town. He had left deer food, or something in big, covered trash cans. The bear tore up the porch and destroyed his grill. He asked if we had heard anything – no. We still haven’t seen any bears, although they are around us and use a path that takes them across our road right down from our house.

I had a very traumatic experience this morning walking my dog. There was a mommie duck with about 5 very small babies. She was a little concerned about us, so we passed quickly and then turned to watch her with the babies. She called them all to her and they bunched up around her tightly…………..and, in a flash, our resident hawk dropped out of the sky, grabbed a baby and flew off. The mother gave chase, but the hawk was gone. I was left staring. We know the ducks have trouble getting their babies raised, but now I know for sure what happens to them. 😯

Yup, but there’s beauty in it too, it’s what hawks do for a living. The one that nailed the pigeon right in front of us at the Wally World parking lit, sweeping in between the minivans and pickups, boffed it right on the ground and sat defiantly on its dinner as the patrons snapped pix on their cells. Got to see it all in slo-mo.
Those talons kill cleanly and quickly, hawks can’t afford a fight, so there’s no suffering. We feel bad for the duck because we internalize their plight but in general a duck’s life is no piece of cake.
I watch them nail rabbits, mice, rats and the occasional snake. I also see them miss a lot. We had that nearsighted one who’d miss and slam into the side of the birdhouse trying to get a martin. We also have the ones that have gone down along the interstate when they’ve been sucked into an 18-wheeler during a dive. It all balances out.

I can understand your experience, and I can understand what Czar says. We all know he is correct. But I would have reacted just like you. I grew up totally removed from learning any of the kind of life michellc, for example, talks about. I read her stories and realize we largely lived in two different worlds. I admire all the people who can do what she does. I lived in a city, ate food from the grocery store, and watched Disney on tv. Roy Rogers and the others didn’t have a lot of animal-dying stuff in them, as I recall. My grandmother came from a farm and lived more like michellc. They were very poor, though. She used to sit on their front porch and shoot squirrels to eat. She would wring the chickens’ necks and prepare them. By the time my mother came along, even though they lived in a small GA farm area, my mother didn’t do any of those things. She worked some in the crop fields. I never even did that. My grandmother taught me how to cook and do some very limited canning.
When people started talking about moving away from big cities and learning to live more or less in the woods or a farm-like setting, I spent two years trying to figure out if we could do it. I was willing to learn, but I finally realized I would have to be much younger and stronger because it would take me a long time. Aside from the mental and emotional changes that would be necessary, I would not be physically capable.

The neighbor whose land we’re dehogging doesn’t live on the land, he lives in a town just outside of New Orleans.

He has built three stands out there, he has them so his and his friends’ kids can hunt. The planted areas support the game all year while we all get to harvest game during the season. Kids get to learn to hunt and process what they eat – while this may seem abhorrent and primitive to many city folk kids and parents who wantbto learn to hunt enjoy doing so have a safe and private place to do so. Between the group,of us out here that’s about 400 acres of feeding/bedding ground, not counting the other wooded areas surrounding us, that supports the kid’s ability and right to hunt.

My city, formerly nerdy, stepson wants to come up and go off our property into the forest to hunt deer and turkeys. He is even talking about building a stand on our property, in the woods part. I was surprised, though, when he started talking about hunting the boar around here. Is it correct that it’s not a good idea to try to do that alone?

They are not too good to shoot and eat. Better to catch em then pen em up and feed them corn for a while. Unless they are a pest. Then just shoot and fergit. The Buzzards an Possums will do the rest.

I fisagree, I’m eating one right now. Boars can get musky and tough but I believevthat mostnof thevproblems cone from processing, storing and cooking incorrectly. There can also be taste issues from what the pig’s been eating. Ours have been rooting old farm and and green corn.
I don’t let the hair touch the meat when I’m skinning, am very careful gutting and freeze the meat quickly. I defrost on the counter, never in a microwave, and wet-cook in a covered pan at about 170 degrees. I layer on a lot of good quality fatty bacon and keep the meat from drying by putting apple or pibeapple juice in the pan. I have used red wine too but that may be a bit strong for a lot of folks.
And then there’s sausage…

I use red wine when I braise beef. It’s delicious. Also add horseradish sometimes.

Not the best idea, no. Thry will generally run away from you but I’ve run into more than one boar hunter who’s been damaged by one, Some years back we ran into a hunter who’d been a boar man for a long time, he lifted up his pants leg to show us a large chunk a sow took out of his calf after she double backed. You can also run i to a boar and a three hundred pounder can really ruin your day, those teeth can slice you up like razors.
The four 40-pounders we trapped tried to charge through the trap screen to get at us as soon as we walked up, females tend to work on prey as a group, and the young boar just wanted to get stbus period, he just happened to be there with the girls. If you run into a gerd of females, especially with piglets in tow, life can get exciting there too.
Best to go with someone, more bester to go with ‘someones’, especially if you don’t have onevof those dreaded semiauto assault pig guns. Even more besterer if you have a hog dog or two. The pig’s eyesight ain’t all that good but their hearing and sense of smell’s better than excellent so if you smell like a person or some grocery store detergent or can’t walk silently your chances to Get Pork aren’t good.

For some reason I gave my two cents next door, and the only argument I got so far other than “cause Trump says so” has been that stacking ten plus immigrants into a two bedroom home raises property values. SMH

My latest AFIO bulletin’s saying that South Korean National Intelligence Service is warning the US that ISIS is gathering operational intel on 77 US and NATO air bases around the world and is encouraging supporters to attack them. ISIS’s hacking arm, the United Cyber Caliphate, has been collecting information on the bases, most likely including personal data on personnel working at those bases and their families, and has been disseminating it.
Y’all turn them guns in and trust the gummint to be protecin’ ya, the POtuS has already done told ius dat ISIS be as good as Been beaten. Day be daid, jes too stooooopid to lays down an die.

Ha ha ha! Quay says to those people who have threatened his life that he is from the southern bible belt and he knows how to use a gun, in fact his dad owns am AK 47.
Quay ’Well if you wave the African flag and you promote Africa and think only black lives matter why are you worried about Trump sending you back to Afirca? Shouldn’t you be happy?”
I suspect a billion liberals wet themselves when he said that. And Quay wants to go into politics.

Another pearl of wisdom from the Great Iggie, re the election:
Just a reminder that this is the beginning of the season of psyops, “nudges” and vote suppression so getting wound up over this stream of crap is less than sensible.
The way to win at three card monte is not to watch the guy swapping the cards; it’s to wait until he’s done and then break his nose.
