That's a rare deer hunting kill.

The Britain-America trade deal was due last month but now it's expected
next year. There's not been any real public debate yet in the UK about
chlorine washed meat or other American food production practises.

When it's all over, if someone offers me a 10lb bag of chicken quarters
for $3.90 I won't be buying it.

We've had enough scares with condemned meat being re-introduced into the
food chain.

I shot an 8 point buck with a rifle. A pump action Crosman 2100, 12
pumps, loaded with a .177ca BB. The ****er just licked his haunch
and laughed it off with a "pbbbbbbbt!".

Does Franco-American brand still exist? When I was a kid, Mom would buy
canned Chef Boyardee spaghetti & meatballs. One day she bought the
Franco-American brand. It contained a lot more "meatballs".

Oh. I thought they used ammonia here in the states. Here and in Canada, there are hundreds of kilometers between meat processing plants. They're tough to regulate.

I guess Johnson's standards aren't that high either.

I think they were absorbed into Campbell's now.

Lol. No doubt unless maybe you could get an eye shot right
into the brain.

Q: Is the .177ca the same as bb size? I don't know.
I know they make pellets that size.

I've got a Crossman .22cal pump pellet rifle. 12-up to 20
pumps and that's a deadly weapon. It needs repair though.
The rubber seals that hold pressure have dried up and it
won't hold pressure anymore.

Some day, I like to get it fixed or fix it myself. Easiest
thing to do is take it to a gun shop and let them do the
work.

Same with my Co2 bb pistol....dried up seals

I have one of those circa 1955 manufacture. I got in some trouble with it
while shooting cattle in a field when I was twelve. Two friends and I spent
an unpleasant hour or two at the sheriffs office with following corporal
punishment from our parents. I split the stock once, swinging at a mules
ass, because the mule wouldnt move. I used white glue for repair, and you
cant even tell.
Now it just sits in a gun case, a reminder of my misbegotten past.
