Vintage 2020. Does it have value?

Gonna age some ground beaver too. Am I on the right track?

Speaking of rat trimmings, I forgot all about it.

Were you able to save me some fleshings?

I could maybe find a market for that concoction above. Do you have any glands too?

I have a half bucket from spring but I was so warm the bugs got in them.
I probably have 20 gallons of the aged stuff. That is stored in a sealed container with a pin hole for ventilation, so the bugs don’t get in.

Couple quarts of glands left.

The rifle has no will of its own it may be used for evil but there are more good men than evil men and evil will be corrected by good men with rifles.

Leo told me to make sure you put a pin hole in the container or they might blow. I believed him.

The key word is might. I have seen it happen and it isn't pretty.

After the first summer I’d think you’d be out of the woods, as far as exploring. The longer the stuff sits the more it “mellows”
