Thread: .222 turning back the clock

Later in my time Consolidated Traders would only take deer if they had their ears on. Our buyer always had some spare sets of ears we could put on with a safety pin if for some reason the carcass was missing them. I remember one great big stag was an escapee and he had a tag and a tag slit (the old original Allflex tags made a slit, not a hole) in his ear so the buyer whipped his ears off for me and pinned a new clean set on. Rubbed on a bit of mud and the job was done
