first kills with ir hunter mkii. 5 or 6 hogs. 4 foxes. 1 porcupine

[Ratdog68]

did you eat the porcupine?

Many do. I'd try it.

 

[theblakester]

Not sure if serious

Or messin with me...

 

[Ratdog68]

No, not messing with you at all. I've heard it's a little "woodie" tasting meat, but, (although I don't know how/what's best) if prepared/cooked properly, is just fine eating meat.

I was serious, I'd try it.

Very nice!

I suppose you were telling the MK II to shoot straight!

And it was listening!

Hey I watch Bizarre Foods and think almost all critters can be made to taste good!

The whole animal is a kabob, how bad can it be?

Good shooting Blakester! Great video and image with that ir hunter, thanks for sharing.

Here ya go frank .. RD I'll try the porcupine if u skin it for me!


Didn't get a pic of the last fox. He did some jump flipping and squirming down into the brush.. Didn't bother to look for him. I have video of the bottom fox pic I can add if yall want, but it's nothing fancy. Also have a video missing a fox, but we can pretend that didn't happen ;)wish I woulda gotten the head shot fox at about 125-150 yds.

Also, thanks to everyone for the kind words.
By the way I'm interested in getting a range finder now

Make a small slit near a paw, just big enough to fit the nozzle of a compressed air blow gun into. Seal it with your gloved hand and give it a few puffs of compressed air (from a compressor, not a can). It'll blow him up enough to separate the hide from the carcass and ease skinning him out.

There you go ole porkypine and the foxes...you are slaying them!
