...mine does  so when I retired and moved to Boise, I purposefully downsized and bought a small 3 bedroom house with a 1 car garage - so no real work space. Hard to find a butcher this time of year because they are all busy with 4H...so I butchered it myself and my lovely lady said, let's just push the dining room table to the side and process in the house. Now, that's a keeper.    Mike  What I have learned on AR, since 2001: 1. The proper answer to: Where is the best place in town to get a steak dinner? is…You should go to Mel's Diner and get the fried chicken. 2. Big game animals can tell the difference between .015 of an inch in diameter, 15 grains of bullet weight, and 150 fps. 3. There is a difference in the performance of two identical projectiles launched at the same velocity if they came from different cartridges. 4. While a double rifle is the perfect DGR, every 375HH bolt gun needs to be modified to carry at least 5 down. 5. While a floor plate and detachable box magazine both use a mechanical latch, only the floor plate latch is reliable. Disregard the fact that every modern military rifle uses a detachable box magazine. 6. The Remington 700 is unreliable regardless of the fact it is the basis of the USMC M40 sniper rifle for 40+ years with no changes to the receiver or extractor and is the choice of more military and law enforcement sniper units than any other rifle. 7. PF actions are not suitable for a DGR and it is irrelevant that the M1, M14, M16, & AK47 which were designed for hunting men that can shoot back are all PF actions. 8. 95 deg F in Africa is different than 95 deg F in TX or CA and that is why you must worry about ammunition temperature in Africa (even though most safaris take place in winter) but not in TX or in CA. 9. The size of a ding in a gun's finish doesn't matter, what matters is whether it’s a safe ding or not. 10. 1 in a row is a trend, 2 in a row is statistically significant, and 3 in a row is an irrefutable fact. 11. Never buy a WSM or RCM cartridge for a safari rifle or your go to rifle in the USA because if they lose your ammo you can't find replacement ammo but don't worry 280 Rem, 338-06, 35 Whelen, and all Weatherby cartridges abound in Africa and back country stores. 12. A well hit animal can run 75 yds. in the open and suddenly drop with no initial blood trail, but the one I shot from 200 yds. away that ran 10 yds. and disappeared into a thicket and was not found was lost because the bullet penciled thru. I am 100% certain of this even though I have no physical evidence. 13. A 300 Win Mag is a 500 yard elk cartridge but a 308 Win is not a 300 yard elk cartridge even though the same bullet is travelling at the same velocity at those respective distances. | ||

Lucky is the man to find such a wife. I feel similarly blessed. Last week my son shot a prime young Sika. After hanging overnight in a chiller we took off all the useful cuts next day. I took most meat off the bones in the kitchen and had to go out for a short while. When I returned my darling had finished the job, reducing all the meat to meal size portions, individually bagged into the freezer. What a lady ! Marrying her was one of the smartest things I ever did. Nice pics Mike. I like happy domestic scenes.  Hunting.... it's not everything, it's the only thing. | |||

Congratulations are definitely in order! And adding to the coziness of the scene, I seem to see details of a Craftsman-era house. Miss mine terribly. There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | |||

Yes, Bill. Built in 1907. It's in the Historic North End section of Boise.  Mike What I have learned on AR, since 2001: 1.

Mike, it looks just lovely. Mine was built in 1912 in a part of Medford, Oregon, that was home to black oaks and scattered Ponderosa. My folks bought it, then later sold it to me and my first wife. After doing some research, it turned out the lot had originally been surveyed by my grandfather. Bet you two are going to enjoy that pork!
