My other question is.....how in the fuuuuck did you know I was referring to you? 😎 Meanwhile please feel free to stroke each others toowauts in deep admiration of your hero ways Please leave your hurt poozie remarks below Trystan Good bullets properly placed always work, but not everyone knows what good bullets are, or can reliably place them in the field

I believe its hormones... we've eaten smaller ones that are bad, larger ones, IE over 200 that are just perfectly fine. Sows and boars. If they have a strong musk to them, no. OTOH I have not had a bad one of say 60 or less... one 80ish pounder was pretty bad though, and female but did have an odor.. As to Trystan, tools abound. We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....
