    I thought that along with other possible things to be allergic to. Wish I had gotten tested earlier. Might have had a chance of it going away. Now, I think I’m stuck with it. Go get tested!! It can’t hurt (unless you’re afraid of needles)...

    If your family practice doctor looks at you with the deer in the headlights look, just ask for a referral to allergist or find your own. I had to print out a 4 page article to get my regular doctor to understand what it was.

    Yep, still here. Always lurking. For the first three years, I only had reactions in November...at deer camp. If you suspect it, ask your doctor to request bloodwork for it. It’s the only way to find it.

    Nope. At least not yet. As far as I know, it only happens after the digestive system breaks down the meat and the 'guilty' protein is absorbed into the body.

    You're welcome. I was pretty damn grumpy about it for a while. I think what I miss the most are the flavors of the food. Nothing tastes like bacon or a good medium rare (emphasis on the rare side) steak. That's for damn sure. Most everything else I can mimic with turkey/chicken. A buddy...

    I think that was my first reaction to this shit.

    It is what it is. I've pretty much accepted it as the way it's going to be. Fortunately, I like eating ALL of God's creatures so it hasn't been too hard to adapt. A nice seared tuna steak is a good replacement for steak and you can't tell the difference between ground turkey/chicken and...

    Eating it for breakfast. I’ve never had a reaction during the day. And before I was diagnosed, I ate plenty of meat during the day. I think it has to do with one or both of a couple things. First, your steroid levels are highest in the morning and lowest while you sleep. So, I’ll have more...

    I can tell you first hand that it does suck. I was diagnosed with it 4 years ago. They say that it can go away if you catch it soon enough and take the necessary precautions. Apparently, I didn’t get diagnosed soon enough. It’s not the easiest thing to catch. Every one of my reactions was...

    Senior design project - shotgun

    I think it's an interesting start. Based on this picture, I'm assuming the following: - Removed the pump and connected the handle directly to the slide ring that is encapsulated within the forend part of the stock. - The tube is accessible immediately behind that forend (it looks like you are...

    Ever think about a Mead Paper Company lease?

    What really sucks is that almost all of the surrounding property is owned by a local that started a 'Guide' service 3-4 years ago. He's been feeding the hell out of every critter up there and now he'll be providing cover as well. The next few years are going to suck like you wouldn't believe.

    Pants.

    Can't give any recommendations but something to look at. I think it meets your criteria. These two don't say whether or not they are insulated, but there is another pair on that site that does say they are insulated so I'm going on the assumption these aren't...

    I sure wish somebody would teach that jackass how to hang a camera. Every time I come in for my "Who's your daddy!" picture, my damn neck kinks and I'm stuck like this for a week.

    Did ya see da 40 Pounder!

    20 pounds of the best meat you'll ever sink your gums into. :smiley_bbq: What you don't see in the first picture is he's holding it about a foot off the ground. While we were at the scene of the crime, it did look like there was a scuffle for the cheetos. :smiley_boxing: The bag was torn up...

    Welcome NoDakRat and MorganD.

    I'm thinking about bringing my 460 S&W with for "retaliation". That damn thing will wake up every sleeping soul in the entire holler.
