So the answer was yes? They baby pretty small

Yep. Mom was skinny and two fawns were healthy but short.

My parents are over in Rolla right now.

Do it!

Do it!

You just want my wife to kill me instead of your wife killing you.

Whichever of you ate my green digitata (new hermit crab here’s looking at you kid) better hide. You never know when a lunare wrasse might get ya….

Admittedly I put the hermit crab I bought yesterday in a pile of GHA near the green digi. He got on the rock the digi was on and ate a good chunk of GHA nearby. The lights went off and I went to bed. When I got up I found the coral was knocked down, thankfully it was right side up. When I picked it up I saw bare skeleton.

Usually hermits only go after dead or dying corals, but this one had perfect polyp extension and no signs of dying when the lights went off. I think they get so little food that at the LFS that they’re desperate. This one definitely was.

Ok I guess I’m just nuts…

I’ve never seen it closed before so I assumed it had been eaten. Lesson learned.

When they get irritated they can look almost dead/bleached.

My favorite is getting up early on a weekend, working out, showering, and crawling right back into bed until noon.

Yeah, me too,but I skip work out and shower part

Elk backstrap burgers. Pressed into 10 neat little patties. The best burgers.

It’s on my bucket list to try elk and bear. We don’t have too many elk though here in Illinois that I know of.

I've had bear jerky before. Interesting flavor. Problem with bear is it tends to taste like what it eats (just like anything else I suppose) so you want one that's had a good variety of forest forage rather than one living close to town eating out of garbage cans or one that's been eating a lot of dead stuff.

Same with elk and deer (and beef). Free range cattle here in Arizona eat a lot of desert sage and taste very sagey. Deer that eat acorns taste better than deer that eat scrub brush.

I love venison however I’m no hunter. I like to fish though. My problem is that I couldn’t hit the side of barn. Maybe I’ll try for a hunting license eventually but I’d need some serious training.

Grouse, duck and wild turkey are good eating. I don’t know if hunters can still take pheasants but I’ve had it a few times many moons ago. They’re good eating too but I think they’re protected now. I’ll have to research that.

Here in AZ we can Pheasant hunt.
