Have been cutting up deer meat from a deer I took Sat. morning. Still have a ham & shoulder to go but its on ice and can wait till tomorrow. Blood Thirsty is my wife's M.Z. gun. A 54 cal Knight Wolverine weighing maybe 7 # loaded with 90 gr. of 3FFF and a 250 gr XTP and 4x scope. Being light it has a robust recoil and with the scope set for her is a bit short for me. That little @#%$^ will draw BLOOD on both ends [hence the name] and Will bite the hand that feeds it ,or his nose. The eyes aren't black but the nose is a nice shade of purple, turning to yellow color. I'm sure the scab on the bridge will fall off sometime soon.
A few pieces of back strap fell off the cutting board into a baggie of KY Kernel seasoned flour and went straight into hot oil. Don't get much better than that!
So that's my tale of BLOOD THIRSTY and how she got her name.
