Yep, that is why I personally concentrate on shooting small deer and small moose!

No kidding, what a mess! πŸ˜‚. Cleaner than my living room.

For Sam(and the others) bishing about my barn maintenance skills, I'll have you know that I swept up the hay chaff and hosed down/scrubbed all the blood and hydraulic fluid off'n the concrete today. The floor is back to being clean enuff to eat off of.... And it got up above 50 degrees, so it will be all dry by Oh Dark Thirty, with the end doors open and breeze coming thru. Should still be looking shiny on Friday, when my late season deer hunters show up....

The barn is pretty cool. Would like to see an outside view of it. Are there living quarters upstairs?

Last good construction job? Looks like a Cabelas store. I'm only familiar with moose. Would a mature bull elk provide more meat and just as good eating?

Thanks for the pictures of the barn. It’s super. I thought maybe you renovated an old one.

Should be a good eating bull, I’ve never seen an antler recipe so that’s a non issue. Good freezer meat right there.

Very cool looking! 😎

He really got himself wrapped up though. Any idea where that fencing came from?
