Thread: 223 on deer

I recall in one of the Graf boys videos/dvds they slice n dice up an entire deer using the humble mercator...from memory he steeled it twice. I do recal he had about meter of twine on it through wee rinc at back so it didnt get lost and could wrap around hand for extra grip.

The cullers we knew in the early 70's used the humble mercator. All they needed it for was the tail and the occasional back steak for tea.Weight was a biggie for them. As 1/2 the pack was required for Parkdrive [yellow packet].How times have changed.

Yes. In the old days the trip was over when you ran out of tobacco no matter what you were doing.

Must have been a particularly tender bastard
