Meat Shortage Coming

[L60Boerne]

Mad4hws,
Sadly, Liar's Lair that was big enough to sustain our whole troupe is no more. After 15 years I moved off of it last December because the rancher kept packing it with goats and sheep. It got worse and worse.

So at this point I have a small, but very beautiful place about 12 miles West of Llano. It is just a holding place until I can secure a bigger one. I enjoy hunting axis as well as whitetail deer. The problem is that last year's deep two week long freeze killed about 50% of the axis deer population. So finding a large scale place is very hard right now.

What I would offer is that if everyone would commit I would put together a weekend on the 06 Ranch near Alpine. That would be 300,000 acres of Patrolling Paradise.But we need to plan and need to pay the ranch for the weekend. I say this because we ned to be fair to the extended family, not just the owner I know. Typical large TX ranch situation.

Anyway...that would be a great private patrol.

L60Boerne,
That sounds like a great time. I need to get busy on fixing up my patrol. I have a lot to do and don't think it will be ready next summer - but maybe. Would it be sacrilege to join in the adventure with a jeep from Hertz?

Spam stores well, maybe for years. But, I just can't believe any self respecting Southerner would advocate for it. Truly these are desperate times.

Went to Safeway. 85-15 hamburger was $3.49 a pound. Got 30 pounds. Ham; 2.50 pound. New York strip, nicely marbled; $11 per pound. Cheaper New Yorks, $7 a pound. Turkey, $2 a pound. It appears that now is the time to stock up while the glut it on. Beer was cheaper than I've seen in 10 years. Everything was on sale.

I will have to add some spam to the food locker. It will look good next to a few cases of 5.56.

Sadly, King Crab was $60 per pound.

Sounds like Colorado is the Land of Plenty.

Well it could be that we are a blue State. I have not seen meat this cheap for over a decade. Craft beer for $7 a six pack!!. There were sale tags hanging everywhere. Seriously, it was odd. I'll hit the spam isle next time unless they are shipping it all to Texas.

It begins in the communist state of Canada. Home of Canadian Bacon no more.
