    @SGH, "standing by", when is this gonna be posted brother?
    I'm going to start killing at 2:00pm CST tomorrow. So it will be sometime tomorrow night before it gets posted my friend. Going to contact BGE and see how graphic of pics that they will allow without unleashing the buffalo.

    Brother, the only thing that I have to shoot video with is my phone. I really need to get set up to start shooting videos. I have always wanted to do a "How To" series on butchering and breaking meat the old school way.

    @SGH   If you do video, you'd better add some drama.  Hunger games style...

    Seriously though, I do miss the big farm events I experienced growing up.  Butchering pigs and chickens, branding etc  I'm just a city slicker now.

    @blasting, so now we have @SGH, one of the Thundergods favorites, helping us appreciate and remember, what us city slickers no longer do.  This I admire and look forward to, as I know do you!

    @SGH, it is why the Thunder Gods smile on you.  It is because of the respect and dignity you have for the slaughtered animals that makes you one of the Thunder Gods very favorites!  As you should be brother.

    Gordon Ramsey had a show years ago. He raised a couple of pigs. The pigs were sort of pets. Butchering an animal is brutal and his show showed it. It happens somewhat quick. The hog was raised by the rear legs and while hanging upside down their throat was slit open with a very sharp knife. They bleed out profusely and died in less than a minute. It's not a pretty picture.

    I still remember chickens be slaughtered. Cut their heads off and the chicken runs and flops around while the chicken head is on the ground.

    Post your video of slaughtering. I doubt I'll watch it. I'd rather not see what happen behind the scenes.

    If not too late, count me as a yes vote.  While i'm not offended in any way by the killing and gutting process, I don't particularly care to see that.  However, i would very much like to see the various cuts of meat, the muscle group/location they come from, and how you remove and process them.  Go for it  SGH, and thanks in advance.

    Sound like this could've been an offshoot of the Brisket Camp @NOLA put together.  @SGH, do you have a periscope account so we can all see it go down live?  Will you be wearing your Hillary 2016 shirt?  That would be a great picture there, brother!

    I used to help a friend butcher hogs every year. 5 of them to be exact.  The age thing crept up on him as it always does and he couldnt do it anymore. That was years ago but remember it like yesterday.  All the good eats right outta the kettle....  Mmmm.  I vote for a yes SGH!

    I don't get this aversion to seeing start to finish what an animal gives us. An animal has to die. Let's not close our eyes and pretend that doesn't happen. Yes, it might not be pretty, but it is what happens so we can eat.

    @thetrim  I'm picturing Nola and SGH hanging out - Nola is rockin' the "Make America Great Again" hat and SGH in a Hillary T-Shirt.

    That would make a great Christmas Card

    @SGH I say go for it. I'm 50/50 on the kill as to wether or not to offend anyone. Being from Iowa I have seen it 1000's of times so I won't be offended. Might get a few people to stop eating pork though...lol

    From what I have seen on this forum, I'm not sure asking Nola's advice on posting is a stellar idea  :o

    I think hell yes. To be safe, add in the title, "Warning: Graphic Content". If that intrigues you and you go look at it, and then you get offended, you're stupid.

    We're all adults here. Assuming each person can read titles to threads...if it looks like something you're not interested in or could possibly offend you....don't open it. Seems pretty reasonable and logical to me. I hate this new "Is it PC world!". Break the cycle!
