Some of you wanted me to post pics of the critters I shoot with my new Henry .22 so here ya go, my first game animal taken with it


he's kinda small but he'll eat good


Edit: also, should I technically be saying "first harvest " instead of "kill" ?

That’s gonna be yummy. Good job bud! How are you gonna cook it?

Good job


We don't eat those nasty vermin in the west ......

Thanks
I think I'm gonna save him up for Thanksgiving and then I'll probably do Hasenpheffer (or however it's spelled lol)

Thank ya! Why don't you eat em out there?

Cool

Good shooting.

Good shootin cowboy

Good shooting, those are very good table fair.

Thanks y'all!
So... I'm pretty sure this is the lungs and heart, right? And do the lungs look okay and healthy?


And then this is the liver correct? Does it look healthy? What is the black thing in the middle? I've heard to look for white spots on the livers of small game to make sure they don't have tularemia but I'm not quite sure what a healthy liver looks like in the first place.

…. Quit worrying so much …. All them innards look fine

Good shooting. You harvest crops and kill animals. Eric

Okay that's what I thought
Thanks!

yessir, sounds good!

The black thing in the liver is the gall bladder. It releases bile into the small intestines to aid in digestion. Looks normal.

I think you had it right the first time. I "harvest" potatoes and carrots from the garden.

And we thank you.

Good killin' boy! There may be certain times/places to use the word harvest over kill, but here ain't one of them.

Throw out the gall bladder.

Post more pics of your kills with that gun!!

Nice job.

Mac

Coyote got class. He is a Harvester for sure! Gives a good name to all of us!

Congrats.

You're gonna have rabbit guts farts for sure!

Shush, Boy… you know better’un nat

Congrats bud! Thank you for posting the picture. Now go kill more stuff, and post more pictures.

…. I used to harvest coyote… picking em out of the trap live and sell them… before the law came baring down lol

Nice shootin' Cowboy! What part of Wisconsin are you in? I'm in Sauk County.

Aha! That's cool! Thanks!

Thanks! OK!

Alrighty!!

Tell us the story of the hunt.

lol maybe maybe not...

Don't worry
I harvest Veggies, I kill animals.

Thanks! Will do!

Thank you! I'm northwest of you, in St. Croix County, just south of Baldwin.

Out West, yes on tularemia, and a host of flea-born nasties. Some rabbits are literally crawling with fleas and ticks. And the ones I hunt are usually easting desert-type plants, which don't enhance the flavor. I admit that when I was a young "Daniel Boone wanna-be" type, I got a little campfire going and cooked up both a cottontail and a jackrabbit, "eating off the land" once. ONCE! And a bite of the jackrabbit cured me of that one. The cottontail was almost as tough as the jack, but not quite as awful. Managed to actually swallow a couple bites. After that trip, I always brought a sandwich. And obviously, I survived. That said, I have also survived eating under-cooked pork, but I wouldn't recommend chancing it.

Okay!!

Wow they certainly doesn't sound very delicious out there

I was walking on the back of the property to grab the SD card from one of my trail cams, and just before I got to the trail cam I saw a rabbit hop into the brush in front of me and he was gone before I could get a shot at him. I was right next to one of my tripod stands, and I decided to climb it to see what I could see, who knows, maybe the rabbit had stopped right on the other side of the tall weeds. So I turned the corner to get to the stand and there was another, smaller rabbit right there, 2-3 feet in front of me. It started to jump away when it saw me and it only made it one hop before I smacked him to the back of the head with a round of CCI Velocitor

… sounds like a good hunt cowboy

That's getting it done. Have you eaten it yet?

.. if you’d read the thread…. He said he’s saving it for thanksgiving

…. I swear this is worse than playing cards with my sisters kids

I did read that. I have a great memory but it's very long.

Saving it for Thanksgiving

They not too good at Texas hold em?

Second kill

…. Good shootin cowboy

Yeah, good job but I thought you were supposed to be shooting deer today, not tree rats?

Thank ya!
My dad had to work this afternoon and technically I can't hunt deer without an adult during the youth season so I had to make do with shooting a bushytail instead

We did go out this morning though, but the only deer I saw was a couple under our apple trees almost 2 hours before legal light

Ah, ok. Well, at least ya got out in the woods! Good job!

Yup! Thanks!

That a boy, Danny.

Um thanks but who's Danny? lol

Good job Cowboy! Keep it up!

Cowboy, my husband took this pic from the deer blind tonight. He said this little guy was mad at him and making a big fuss!

Thanks!!

That's a big one! I get so mad when a squirrel or blue jay starts makin' racket about me when I'm deer hunting. I get madder when it's a blue jay though cuz I can't shoot it

Good deal!

That’s funny i had a bunch of blue jays around me tonight making a racket. And starlings

So the shot was roughly 6 feet? Heck of a shot. There aren't 2 maybe 3 men in the world that could have made that shot. Nice work and keep stacking them up.

it was probably closer to 5 feet it was close enough for me to ask myself, "is this even sporting?"

Lol

Who is Danny?
