It's always tempting but hunting in your yard will spoil the view for a long time. You can get the same game a few miles away and still have the rest of them come and visit.

I find that a salt lick and 50 pounds of cracked corn brings em back everyear . It really pisses SWMBO when I shoot from inside the house. Hot casing on the carpet burning holes in the floor.
Yeah 30 yards distance to the bait and me stabilized using the deck keeps me out of hot water.
Cull the herd and take a young doe for the best meat.
My coyotes and hawks and eagles clean up the view quickly.

When I am finished with the finisher, I ever so lightly touch the edge with my thumb pad and if it sticks all the way along the edge...time to strop and shave. I'm probably missing out on some of the fun. I once thought about a digital microscope but then the $$$ went elsewhere. I like seeing magnified pics of the honing progression a lot though, if someone else posts them.

Here is me learning to join the bevels/ or joint the bevels

Pre joining

One 2mm move
2nd 2mm stroke

WOW!! Those Chosera are a game changer coming from naturals only.
You are all correct. Still finished on a Coticle w Thuri slurry.

Nice looking coticule Sedell, the slurry knows. Here's a TI with a layer of tape on request. This is not the whole progression but the best part.

Those razors for $89 where the best deal ever. I will have to get mine out now. Great pics

Ooooooo an actual W&B "Near Wedge" has been the interesting one for the last 2 days out here

Took 4 times through the bevel setting process to get it to finally pop a solid bevel.
This is a perfect example of not sitting there grinding away on 1 razor, but to try, and if it just won't pop, set the razor aside and walk away for the next day..

I've got friends who have gone to Colorado for the past three years for elk hunting, or a better term might be "expensive cold frustrating camping trip." Apparently They should go to Idaho next year.

I thought elk and moose was the same, I was wrong

Well we have alot of Mooses around here, Swedish word is Älg.
