Earlier this fall, during the muzzle loader season, was out hunting and at the end of the day decided to empty the Rifle. Picked on an unsuspecting poplar tree and squeezed one off. This is the result. The tree was still standing, but as soon as we leaned on the tree, over she went. 250 grain SST over 43 grains of 4759 is responsible.  |

They don't sell tree tags and some folks around here consider them varmints.

 Don't worry RAF...... by the looks of the background in your picture the herd is quite healthy. It could stand some culling ! ;D ;D

Make sure to par-boil that a bit before roasting.. Those poplar can be every bit as tough as cedar if not cooked right. ;D.

I know what you mean. The boys at camp start bark'n every time I go against the grain and undercook them. Of course I am a sap for that kinda of stuff, well maybe knot. But I will go out on a limb and say this thread has really branched off. Gads I have no shame...........  |
