@T_inman w/ the Wolverine

Holy Cow! We don't have such cool animals here.... how much does that monster weigh?? And is that a 45/70 or 444??
Thanks for sharing that one!

Not a clue on the weight. 30 lbs would be my best, albeit wild guess.

That is a Marlin 39, .22 LR.
Not a guide gun.

I did kind of feel like I needed a .45-70 that day though.

DUDE! You killed a Wolverine with a .22?

You'll go down in history as one of the greats!

I already am one of the greats. You're just now coming to this realization?

I did kill it via .22 LR. Correct. After said .22 went "click" because it was -20 and the firing pin was too sluggish to work correctly. A little TLC corrected that issue.
It's leg was caught in something tight though and instead of trying to get away it was trying to kill me. Lunging at me actually.

Crazy mothafukker that thing was.

Yep...that episode plus the EPIC shot of you on a rock 2 ft. from a lion with your pistol...


Damn...you remind me of....ME!


Now all you gotta do is dig a wounded leopard out of a hole and kill him with a rusty-assed Taurus .38 pressed against his temple...

Tom how were you able to dig the leopard out with your huge balls in the way? Lol

And...to make this less homo, how did you dodge the dinosaurs long enough to get it done?

You are just being stupid now.

Everyone knows the dinosaurs were long gone by the time Taurus .38s were produced....

sheesh....

And as far as dodging the dinosaurs go, I don't think you, or the world, realizes the REAL reason for their extinction....


That's right...it was me.

Well yeah...franks red hot sauce was invented back then, making dino wings popular

Fück it, here is #3 for the year. Trapped again, but the trapping forum doesn't get as much traffic as this one so I am posting this here instead. He's another .22 victim, but the situation was not nearly as dramatic as this guy wasn't literally trying to kill me as I got into position to shoot him, like #1 was last month. This is a bigger boar and will be rugged.

Look at how badly he jacked up that tree. That was ALL him, either chewing or breaking off the branches by wrapping the chain around them. Some of those branches are as thick as my dong. These things are crazy strong.

That awesome!

I couldn’t agree more!

I'm agreeing with what is being said. I hope you'll show photos of the rug when completed.

Wow..

Whole lotta attitude running around that tree! Good stuff

Nice work Ted! 👍

That really is too cool for school tin man!

That is Uber cool! You have got 3 this year? Are you going to have a rug made of the biggest one? If so hope you post it here so we can drool over it.
Are you selling the fur? What does a prime hide like that go for?

Ya, I plan to rug this latest one and sell the other two hides.

Prices vary but these are all prime -30 degree furs, so I suspect they're worth $3-400 each, but that is just a guess. That is completely scraped and with ears/lips turned. I may sell them to a taxidermist instead as they sometimes buy them too, and then I wouldn't have all that extra work to do. I am in a goofy living situation and don't really have a shop to properly take care of the hides right now.

Where, da fugg are pics of #2, arsehole !

While pulling on the carhartts to go do chores, i seen an apparition flitting thru the yucco’s in the alpaca patch. Grabbed the rifle and stepped out. I don’t know if he was just passing thru or after an alpaca breakfast. I didn’t give the mangy bastid a chance at option number two.....
