still the same, has to be a separate cooler, with different machines/tables/knives that you don't use for beef/pork

if they want a return customer, they will do a good job, around here there really isn't anyone that does it, so for around $170 a deer, at say a max 2 hours, that $85 an hour, that pretty damn good money thats all under the table for a butcher that does it on the side. its something im giving serious consideration doing next year, I've been keeping track of the phone calls we get at the store, this week alone we've had 6 calls and 5 people walk in asking where to get it done. I just need the equipment at home to be able to do it, ie: a 2hp grinder, chest freezer, work table, knives, hand saw.

my opinion, these brave people deserve much more than 2 minutes a year to be remembered, should be a national holiday, no businesses open whatsoever. my boss was at a gas station recently, a guy walked in carrying poppies to sell, the attendant, who was clearly of certain background, had no clue what the poppy stood for. my boss lost it on him, saying this 'you come to this country, and you have no clue what that stands for? I will never shop here again' As far as our store goes, we refuse service for those 2 minutes, we drop our knives, turn up the radio to hear the service playing, step back and reflect the most powerful image you will see

once you get good at boning things out, stuff takes minutes to do, to do a whole deer, cut and wrapped, would take about an hour and a half

because that couldn't be abused at all.......

We have a saying at the shop (yes a butcher shop) no fat, no flavour. when we used to process deer at the store, and needed to make sausage, because the animal is so lean to begin with, we have to add 40% pork to the mix. also a tip, make sure you have a good sharp knife., and a steel when processing your own deer, deer meat is very hard on the knifes edge, and it will dull quickly

try shaw, or if you can, turn your phone into a mobile hotspot, if your data allows it

this is great big step in the right direction. I would be nervous of having a single officer doing the patrols, would rather see 2 for safety reasons, especially at night

I saw this yesterday on my FB.......'always been fly curious' lol

I haven't used IE in forever, using Google Chrome

Anyone else having issues with replying to comments? I'll start typing out a reply, and if I switch tabs to reference something like in the baseball thread, referencing stats, I'll switch tabs, come back to the OFC tab and my reply box will be empty

You're forgetting about the Halladay trade, Halladay for Kyle Drabek, Micheal Taylor and Travis d'Arnaud, where are these players now?, that right, Drabek faultered and is no longer around, Taylor??????? and we turned d'Arnaud and one of the best pitchers in baseball into a .500 40 y/o pitcher in the form of RA Dickey

nice one!!!! although that maple leaf looks oddly familiar!

hehe im scared of the cost....... lol I hear you're building a rod for a mutual friend though

There are many in the baseball world who think that there will be very few changes in personnel, many think Lacava will be named GM, he was assistant GM. I think the main reason people are so shocked, is because is a change from the status quot, Beeston was there from day 1, and the organization was run the same way since day 1. They needed a new president, and their first choice went to Boston, this was choice number 2 They didn't just let AA go, they gave him a multi year, multi million dollar deal, but he turned it down, because Shapiro wants a say in trade dealings, which is more common than not.

right, so after he won his second exec of the year award, he was promoted from GM to president. As for Gibby, Im not a fan of his, he did well with what he had, but even he thought hiring him a second time around wasn't a good idea. but did it anyway. You have to look at this way, this was Beestons last year, hes retiring, done, where were the Jays when they started negotiating to bring in Shapiro, 27-30 in June? 51-50 in July? Rogers had to act to find a replacement in the wake of a possible flunker season. At that point, they had already signed the agreement to bring Shapiro in. They offered AA everything, they gave him a 1yr near the start of the season, then a 2yr in the middle, then a 5yr at the end. But, its the amount of control AA wold have to give up under Shapiro in order to stay, because Shapiro is a baseball guy, always has been, Beeston was a business guy, didn't want much to do with the on field product, left that to the GM, Shapiro is more hands on. That is what I get from all this

Shapiro was exec of the year in 2005 and 2007

the Dykstra story here During a recent appearance on Colin Cowherd's show on Fox Sports, former big leaguer Lenny Dykstra admitted to spending "half a million bucks" on private investigators to dig up dirt on umpires during his playing career. Dykstra says he then used the information not necessarily to bribe umpires, but to intimidate them into giving him favorable calls. "Fear does a lot to a man," he says. Here's the video: "Their blood is just as red as ours. Some of them like women, some of them like men, some of them gamble," said Dykstra. He then imagined a scenario in which he asked the umpire if he "covered the spread last night" after a called strike, then the strike zone shrunk to his advantage. "It wasn't a coincidence that I led the league in walks the next few years," he added. Dykstra led the league with 129 walks in 1993 while with the Phillies. His previous career high was 89 walks, though he missed plenty of time with injuries. Dykstra's walk rate did spike from 1993-94: (Graph via FanGraphs) Dykstra explained he was doing what "I had to do what I had to do to win, and to support my family." It's worth noting Dykstra has had all sorts of financial and legal trouble in recent years, so his reputation is not the best at this time. He also told Cowherd he is working on a book, so this story about hiring private investigators to dig up dirt on umpires could be a ruse to help book sales. If true though, these are some pretty serious admissions -- and allegations, he is saying umpires bet on baseball -- by Dykstra.

One of my favourite movies......why do you think Cueto failed so miserably in his start in Toronto, he was too worried about the sign stealing conspiracy in Toronto, so much so that he was giving signs on the mound

no one will say anything now, but willing to bet 10-15 years down the road, there will light shed on it. kind of like how Lenny Dykstra suddenly became so good......he blackmailed umpires to give him favourable calls. paid a team of private investigators, and spied on the umps behaviours outside of baseball with wireless technology the way it is now, could have a camera anywhere zoomed in on the catcher, having it feed to a laptop or tablet, then that person, where ever they are in the stadium, bench, trainers room, clubhouse, owners box, relay the info to the batter via a tiny wireless ear piece

What flaws are you talking about? a depleted bullpen due to the injury to Cecil and Loup having to take care of his family? I think its pretty clear by know that the royals have an edge somewhere, they know EXACTLY what pitch is coming. there is no way that a team consistently hits so well against other teams ace pitcher that consistently, Im not just talking the jays, talking Keuchel, McHugh, Price, Stroman, and now deGrom. deGrom especially, a pitcher like that rarely gives up 8 hits in a game, let alone 8 hits in a single inning. you watch the batters, none of them are fooled by anything. its almost as if they have a guy in the back room with a camera talking in their ear. As for AA, yes he did great things THIS year, how about other years? not so great. however, when you are named the top executive, and then the incoming guy says you're taking a lesser role next season, thats a kick in the nuts. I think he had his mind made up early, he was offered a 1 year, and then a 2 year. turned them both down. he probably did a lot of research on Shapiro to find out what kind of operation he runs, and then the Shapiro telling him how disappointed he was with AA for trading prospects BEFORE he even takes over as president. thats a little too much Bull

cause luck had nothing to do it.....should have been ruled an error, but w/e. ball just happens to hit off cepedes' arm then off his leg in full stride and he kicks it away

This ^^^^ I like to avoid places with easy access points, thats where you find the most loogans, the hard to get to places, are where you find a true fisherman. I hate the crowds, but at the same time, its very satisfying as a fly fisherman to hook into multiple fish in front of meat drifters

I think there needs to be a mandatory fish identification program when you get your license. the number of people that don't know what they are catching, is crazy. I remember an incident on another forum where a guy said he caught a bunch of brookies, had them all on a stringer in his picture, turns out they were browns with parr markings

in port hope this year, there was a family, they had a nylon rope with 3 gaffs on it and they pulling it across the river. rivers here are like 20ft wide at most, and relatively shallow, spotting huge fish in there is easy, most times they throw a weighted treble into a pool of fish and rip it across
