I don't think the meat was ruined, but there might have been a difference in flavor with all the adrenalin. I've heard that a quick, unsuspecting death is best for flavor.Herrick Kimballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17116051416696885647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13729569.post-3204296158586895662015-01-16T17:24:09.759-05:002015-01-16T17:24:09.759-05:00So, Herrick, what was the end of that story?

The fellow just casually grabbed the animal, they're used to being handled. He parted the wool and took a sharp knife and slit a maybe two inch opening in the neck. Then, humming a little Mongolian tune all the while, reached inside and pinched the artery. It just closed it's eyes, and that was it.

Your description is right on on how to do it.I use an old single shot Sears 22 that I bought for a whopping 20 some bucks as a youngster.Use a long or long rifle shell and will drop any size bull, cow or steer/heifer.After my first experience, which I will not get into, every one was brought down with on shot.<BR/><BR/>Tom Scepaniak, MinnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
