Will do. Ever since the wife got an Instapot the crock pot has been available. I've done a few but it is limited to what fits in the pot. They do a great job of low and slow. Keeps me from over cooking/boiling skulls which is super lame.


Jerry, I wouldn't reach for the 10.5" 223 for mountain lion but if that is all I have I'm not passing grin My 12.5" Grendel would probably get the nod if I was calling specifically for lion or wolf.
I've killed a fair amount of critters with a 223 and have confidence in it. I could have shot her a few inches farther forward and probably had a quicker death. I was ~4" inches behind the shoulder instead of tucked next to it. Caught the back of the lungs instead of the center. She only went ~75 yards.

It was not a comfortable situation and I was glad I was not alone!!


Yes Indeed !! That was my point.

I have used my 22 semi pistol WHEN it was all I had. I understand.

Congrats
