A notebook filled with mosquito "victims." Carefully planned experiments. Millions of views. What started as an unusual TikTok account has turned into one of the internet's strangest viral rabbit holes.This week on The Ebone Zone, we're unpacking the viral phenomenon known as the "Mosquito Serial Killer"—the creator whose bizarre obsession with mosquitoes has captivated audiences through detailed experiments, dramatic storytelling, and a growing online following. We explore why this unexpected niche has become so addictive to watch, how social media rewards increasingly unconventional content, and where entertainment crosses into internet spectacle. This Week's Featured Hashtag: #MyLowBarRedFlagOther Interesting ThingsCheck out FatsocatRusty Cage on FacebookSend a text to The Ebone Zone!

This weeks sponsors: Seeds Ireland High Quality Seeds: See link below for listener offer. https://seedsireland.ie/masterAugust arrives and the seed sowing list shrinks, but that does not mean the growing season is over. We talk through a practical August sowing guide that keeps your veg patch productive, especially if you garden in a UK or Ireland climate where late summer can still deliver plenty of growth when you pick the right crops.We start with the dependable staples: spring onions for steady succession sowing, then lettuce choices that actually make sense now (think loose-leaf and butterhead rather than tight-heading types). We cover spinach variety switches as the month moves on, and why you can often sow a little more at this point because bolting pressure begins to ease. From there we move into quick, rewarding options like radish, plus the love-it-or-hate-it turnip, and how overwintering cabbages can be raised under cover and planted out for an early spring payoff, as long as you plan for protection from pigeons.Autumn salads get a proper spotlight too: rocket, mustard leaves, winter cress, tatsoi, pak choi and endive bring flavour and continuity when summer salads slow down. We also touch on herbs still worth sowing, plus chard and kale under cover. Then we share a fun late-season project: Christmas potatoes grown in containers using cold-stored early varieties, including why blight vigilance matters and how the container routine flips as frost approaches. We finish with the August essentials around watering tomatoes, tidying beds after onions and garlic, and staying alert for caterpillars, slugs and disease.If you find this helpful, subscribe, share it with a fellow gardener, and leave a review so more growers can find the show.Support the showIf there is any topic you would like covered in future episodes, please let me know.

Send us Fan MailWhat if your teen's complaint of "I'm bored" is not something to fix? It's something to encourage?In this episode of The Conscious Classroom,  Amy Edelstein explores the  value of unstructured downtime for adolescents. Drawing on neuroscience — including Marcus Raichle's research on the brain's default mode network — Amy explains how boredom activates self-reflection, empathy, imagination, and creative problem-solving, all essential for teen identity development.Amy shares personal reflections on rest, unpacks why over-scheduling and screen time crowd out this vital internal reflection, and offers practical contemplative practices parents can invite teens to try, from sensory awareness exercises to "sauntering" inspired by Thoreau. Tune in for a compelling case to protect unstructured time this summer — and give your teen the space to simply be.Support the showIf you enjoyed this episode please leave a review!

Most of us want a faith that changes us fast. One powerful moment, one perfect prayer, one undeniable spiritual experience and suddenly we become more like Jesus. But real spiritual formation usually happens in the quiet stretch between the mile markers, where no one is clapping and nothing feels dramatic. We talk about why the small choices you make week to week may be doing more to shape your character than the biggest “breakthrough” you can remember. From there, we open 1 John 2:3–5 and step into the tension John is addressing: a church rattled by conflict and confident spiritual claims. Some people insist they “know God” at a deeper level, yet their lives contradict the message of Jesus. John doesn't offer secret knowledge or hype a bigger religious experience. He points to something grounded and observable: knowing God becomes visible in obedience, not as a way to earn God's love, but as the fruit of a real relationship with God. We also name the difference between struggling and surrendering. Failing in obedience can lead to confession, repair, and renewed alignment. Dismissing obedience altogether chases the benefits of religion without accountability or transformation. The big takeaway lands here: Christian obedience is love taking visible form, through honesty, forgiveness, generosity, humility, and perseverance.

Send us Fan MailImagine standing atop Pawnee Rock in May of 1872, looking out over the vast, windswept plains of Kansas. As far as the eye can see, the earth itself seems to move—a living, breathing ocean of dark fur and thunder.Welcome to The Wild West Podcast. Today, we invite you to travel alongside Colonel Richard Irving Dodge: soldier, keen naturalist, and eyewitness to the final, awe-inspiring days of the American frontier.In this episode, written and produced by Mike King and narrated by Brad Smalley, Colonel Dodge takes us into the heart of the Great Plains. You'll hear his firsthand account of standing above a staggering buffalo herd—an unbelievable spectacle spanning twenty-five miles wide and fifty miles deep—and feel the pulse-pounding terror of being caught in a sudden stampede of five thousand charging bison.This remarkable chapter of history unfolds just two months before Colonel Dodge would take command of Fort Dodge on the north banks of the Arkansas River, a mere five miles from where the legendary Dodge City was about to be born. At the time, Dodge was stationed at Fort Larned—a crucial outpost serving as a disbursement point for Indian annuities and a vital shield for the workers laying track for the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railroad.Step back in time with us to May 1872, and experience the frontier through the eyes of the man who lived it.

Your relationship can look stable, respectful, even loving and still leave you feeling alone. That kind of loneliness is hard to explain because nothing is “wrong” in an obvious way, yet something essential is missing. I'm Dr. Dar Hawks, and I'm naming the gap many women quietly carry: the difference between what gets done in a relationship and what you need to feel to experience real closeness.We walk through the core idea that practical needs and emotional needs are not the same. You can have the bills paid, the calendar managed, and a partner who does his part and still crave emotional intimacy. From there, I lay out five emotional needs I see underneath almost every story: love and belonging, freedom, fun, inner power, and safety and survival. As you listen, you'll be able to pinpoint which need feels most “starved” right now and why that longing doesn't make you needy, dramatic, or too much.We also talk about why emotional needs go unanswered even when there's real love: how life crowds out connection, how conversations turn into logistics, and how many of us were taught to keep the peace by putting our own needs last. The turning point is learning to treat loneliness as information, not a personal failing and giving yourself permission to stop pretending you don't feel what you feel. If you're ready to name what you actually need, take the free relationship needs quiz at needs.drdarhawks.com or book a one-on-one conversation with me at session.drdarhawks.com. If this helped you in any way, please subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find this support.Send us Fan Mail Support the showIf you found your way here, something probably brought you.

Send us Fan MailWelcome to this episode of the Sexier than a Squirrel podcast, the podcast that brings you real-life dog training results, and sometimes human training ones too!This week, Lauren is joined by Alice to explore one of the most misunderstood pieces of dog training equipment there is: the muzzle. Whether you've never considered muzzle training before or you already have a dog who wears one, this episode is all about changing the conversation and showing how a muzzle can create more freedom, not less.Far too often, muzzles only come out when there's a crisis - an emergency vet visit, a bite risk, a scavenging habit, or new legal requirements. Lauren and Alice explain why waiting until you need a muzzle is one of the biggest mistakes owners can make. Instead, they explore how games-based training can build confidence long before the muzzle is ever needed, transforming it from something a dog tolerates into something they happily choose to wear. You'll also hear why muzzles aren't just for reactive dogs, but can be invaluable for cooperative care, grooming, travel, introductions, and preventing dangerous scavenging.The conversation also tackles some of the practical realities many owners face. Lauren and Alice discuss choosing a well-fitting basket muzzle that allows panting, drinking and taking treats, introducing new equipment through tiny, achievable steps, and making thoughtful adjustments to improve comfort. They also talk openly about breed-specific legislation, public perception, and why advocating for your dog with confidence is far more powerful than worrying about what other people might think.Whether your dog wears a muzzle today or you simply want to be prepared for whatever life brings, this episode will help you see muzzle training in a completely different light. It's a practical life skill that can improve safety, protect welfare, and open up opportunities for dogs to enjoy more of the world with confidence.Ready to get started?

Send us Fan MailPromotions can feel deeply personal, especially when you are carrying the workload, delivering results, and still watching someone else move up.In this episode of The Mid-Career GPS Podcast, I'm asking the question many mid-career professionals have quietly wondered: “How did they get promoted when I'm doing as much or more?”The answer is rarely “work harder.”At this stage of your career, hard work matters, but it is not always what gets you promoted. Leaders are often evaluating you through an invisible promotion test that rarely gets explained out loud. They are looking for clear evidence that you can operate at the next level, demonstrate measurable business impact, and lead with the kind of influence, visibility, and strategic thinking expected in a bigger role.If your work is solid but your impact is unclear, your career may stall. That is why relying on “my work will speak for itself” can quietly hold you back.In this episode, I break down what decision makers actually need when your name comes up in a promotion conversation. They need examples they can repeat confidently when you are not in the room. They need proof that you are not just doing more work, but creating outcomes that matter to the organization.I also talk about the difference between bragging and self-advocacy. Advocating for yourself is not about arrogance. It is about communicating your value with executive presence, connecting your contributions to business outcomes, and helping your manager understand how to champion you effectively.You'll walk away with three practical strategies for career growth and promotion readiness: tracking measurable results, making your promotion goals explicit in your one-on-ones, and giving your manager the exact talking points they need to advocate for you.I also share four diagnostic questions to help you pressure test whether your supervisor truly understands your impact and can defend your promotion recommendation quickly and clearly.If you feel stuck, unseen, or frustrated because you are doing the work but not getting promoted, this episode will help you understand what may be missing and how to start positioning yourself more strategically.In This Episode, You'll Learn:• Why summertime workloads can amplify resentment at work • What it really means to feel stuck and unseen at mid-career • How leaders evaluate next-level readiness for promotions • Why visibility and memorable impact stories can change career outcomes • The difference between arrogance and business-centered advocacy • Why time in role does not guarantee a promotion • What strategic thinking and influence without title look like • Three ways to advocate for yourself without sounding boastful • Four questions to check whether your supervisor can champion you fastWhy This Matters for Your Mid-Career GrowthAt mid-career, your job is not only to do good work. Your job is to make sure the right people understand the value, impact, and strategic importance of that work.If you are tired of feeling overlooked, passed over, or unsure why your career is not moving forward, this episode will help you stop guessing and start building a stronger case for your next promotion.Listen to this episode and learn how to make your impact more visible, your goals more explicit, and your promotion story easier for others to repeat.Support the showIf this episode resonated with you and you want more support in how you SHOW UP for your career and life, there are two ways we can work together.Learn more about my SHOW UP Leadership Lab, my monthly membership program, at https://www.johnneral.com/showupIf you would like to learn more about how I can help you as your leadership and career coach, visit https://www.johnneral.com/workwithme.Get John's free weekly leadership and career newsletter at https://www.johnneral.com/the-mid-career-gps-newsletterOther ways we can connect:Connect with John on LinkedIn here.Get John's books on Amazon here.  Follow John on Instagram @johnneralcoaching. Subscribe to John's YouTube Channel here.  Please leave a rating and review on Apple Podcasts here.This podcast is listed in Feedspot's Top 90 Best Executive Career Podcasts.https://podcast.feedspot.com/executive_career_podcasts/

In this episode we are joined by Richard Fisher (3-peat on the pod) looking back at 1926 as a pivotal year in golf, tracing the season from winter through autumn. We focus on the amateur game, the professional events, and the way golf fit into the wider sporting and political landscape of the year.We begin with the early amateur season, including the shared President's Putter at Rye and the Varsity match at Burnham & Berrow, where Cambridge win. We also discuss how much golf's leading amateurs play, the importance of caddies, and the many club and society matches that shape the year.We then move to the spring championships, including the arrival of Glenna Collett and other American women ahead of the Ladies' Championship, which is delayed by the General Strike.The episode also covers the amateur and professional championships in detail. We discuss Bobby Jones's remarkable Open qualifying round at Sunningdale, his victory at Royal Lytham & St Anne's, the Amateur Championship at Muirfield, George Von Elm's win in the US Amateur, and major professional events involving Walter Hagen, Abe Mitchell, and Sandy Herd... and of course the proto-Ryder Cup. We finish with the late-season fixtures, including the English Amateur, the US PGA and US Ladies' Championship, and the mixed foursomes at Worplesdon. We also reflect on the broader context of 1926: the rise of international golf, the role of the media, and how different the sport's structure and calendar were from today.

We've been teasing it, posting about it, and talking around it for months — and now it's finally here. Dr. Sarah sits down with Aalimah Sarah Ahmed to talk about A Light of Her Own: Muslim Womanhood as a Path to Allah — what it is, why she wrote it, and what she hopes every Muslim woman takes away from it. This is the conversation behind the book: the idea that sparked it, the questions it tries to answer, and why Muslim womanhood is not something to work around on the way to Allah ﷻ, it's the path itself.

In this episode, Mark Hayward dives deep into a discussion about the importance of taking holidays and how it relates to business ownership. Fresh from a two-week vacation, Mark shares his personal insights on why stepping away from work is crucial not only for personal well-being but also for assessing the sustainability and efficiency of your business. He discusses the importance of having a business that can operate without you, emphasizing the need for robust systems and trustworthy teams.Mark tackles the misconception that holidays are a sign of laziness, arguing that time off is necessary for recovery and better decision-making. He mentions that if a business depends entirely on one person, it is fragile and unsustainable in the long run.

If you had to cut your kitchen garden down to just ten vegetables, what would you keep and why? We take on that exact challenge and build a list that is practical, flavour-led, and realistic for busy gardeners who want maximum results for the least fuss.We start with the five filters we use when deciding what deserves space in a bed: taste (does it beat the supermarket?), effort versus reward, ease of growing, cost to buy, and how many ways you can use or store it. That framework quickly separates “nice to grow” from “worth growing”, especially if you are gardening in limited space and want crops that keep paying you back over a long season.Then we get specific. We talk through tomatoes for that unbeatable homegrown flavour, potatoes for freshness you cannot replicate, and everyday staples like salad leaves, carrots, French beans, spring onions, beetroot, Swiss chard, red cabbage for the winter gap, and garlic for year-round cooking and great storage. Along the way we share simple, experience-based tips on sowing frequency, harvesting for continuity, and choosing crops that fit how you actually cook.If you enjoy vegetable gardening, growing your own food, and making a small garden more productive, hit subscribe, share the episode with a gardening friend, and leave us a review.

Send us Fan MailDeep loyalty, love, and devotion – even beyond reason – is a familiar romance trope. But right now I'm loving this trope applied to female friendships and relationships in action-packed stories about fearless women in dangerous jobs or pinned down by bad choices. Brave and sometimes foolish, they're backed by a ride-or-die chum who knows where the bodies are buried and where to get the best diner pancakes at 3 AM. And most importantly, how to be there for someone who's important to them.CW: explicit film clips, plenty of spoilers"I jumped from a moving train and I'm alive!"

379 – What does it mean to be a Christian?There's a mistake the Christian church has been making for hundreds of years, 1,700 years to be more accurate, that has radically changed the way Christians identify and represent themselves in the world, as well as among themselves.The sad truth is that most Christians don't realize they're making this mistake or that it has such a long history. In fact, they find comfort in it and think what they're doing is totally appropriate.But this shift in 325 C.E. has often taken the church down a path that has led away from the original Christianity of Jesus and the importance of putting his teachings into practice, and instead made the church more legalistic and dogmatic.In this episode, we're going to look at This mistakeHow it still affects the Christian church todayHow it goes against the original message of Jesus and how he described what it meant to be one of his disciples or followers, or what we call today, a Christian And more importantly, we're going to talk about what you can do to correct this mistake, whether it's you or someone else, your church or someone else's church, making itWhat you believe is important, in fact crucial, but Jesus requires obedience to his teachings in our daily lives if we want to be considered his followers.∞∞∞∞∞∞∞Previous episode mentioned: Episode 224: Why Should I Believe in the Nicene Creed? SHOW NOTES: For a full transcript of this episode and all the Bible quotes, go to thebiblespeakstoyou.com/379Text me your questions or comments.Support the showIf you enjoy the podcast, please rate and leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify__________________James Early, the Jesus Mindset Coach, is a Bible teacher, speaker, and podcaster.

Send us Fan MailYou can be the most dependable person in the room and still be quietly falling apart.Many mid-career professionals have built their reputations by being capable, responsive, and willing to solve difficult problems. But when you become the person everyone relies on, your competence can turn into a trap. More work comes your way, other people's emergencies become your responsibility, and saying yes becomes almost automatic.In this episode of The Mid-Career GPS Podcast, I sit down with Tammie Calys, executive reinvention architect and founder of Next Level Me, to discuss what she calls the curse of competence.After decades of leading corporate strategy and large-scale organizational change, Tammie learned a dangerous truth: high-achieving leaders are often excellent at mitigating risk for their organizations while ignoring the risks to their own capacity, health, relationships, and careers.We explore the fear, uncertainty, and guilt many mid-career professionals are experiencing in the 2026 job market. You may want a new job or career change, but feel guilty pursuing something better while colleagues are being laid off or displaced. You may also be staying in an unhealthy situation because the uncertainty of leaving feels more frightening than the cost of remaining.Tammie explains how high performers become the default solution for every workplace problem and why being dependable does not mean you must absorb every new responsibility. She also shares specific boundary-setting scripts that allow you to protect your time and capacity without damaging trust or appearing uncooperative.You will learn how to use a 24-hour pause to interrupt the reflexive yes, initiate a trade-off conversation that forces meaningful prioritization, and offer alternative solutions without taking ownership of the entire problem.We also discuss the early warning signs of silent cracking, including phantom presence, when you are physically with the people you care about but remain mentally consumed by work. Tammie explains why remote and hybrid professionals need a deliberate workday shutdown ritual and a transition bridge that helps them move from professional responsibilities into their personal lives.This conversation is not simply about saying no. It is about leading yourself more intentionally, protecting your professional capacity, and making career decisions before you reach a breaking point.In This Episode, You Will Learn:• Why fear and guilt in the 2026 job market keep mid-career professionals stuck• How the curse of competence turns top performers into the default fix for every problem• A 24-hour pause script that prevents an automatic yes• Three ways to say no while remaining supportive and collaborative• How to use trade-off conversations to help leaders establish real priorities• Why microhabits and evidence from your own history can strengthen your confidence• How silent cracking and phantom presence affect your personal relationships• How to create a workday shutdown ritual for remote and hybrid work• Why knowing your north star is essential for career clarity and professional reinvention• How to advocate for yourself before exhaustion, resentment, or burnout forces a decisionYour job may feel secure today, but that does not mean you should leave your career direction entirely in someone else's hands. Knowing your values, strengths, boundaries, and professional north star helps you make intentional decisions instead of waiting for a crisis.If this episode helps you recognize where your competence may be working against you, subscribe to The Mid-Career GPS Podcast and share this conversation with a colleague who needs stronger workplace boundaries.

Send us Fan MailIn episode 6 of Buffalo Days, the narrative opens with a sudden and intense prairie storm that triggers a massive buffalo stampede. As lightning strikes and kills a bull in the herd, the animals scatter in panic, threatening to crush the hunters and their heavily loaded supply wagons. The men are forced to make a desperate run through the blinding rain and mud, barely escaping the thundering herd when the storm runoff carves out a massive rut in the earth, redirecting the buffalo away from their path and slowing the animals down in a nearby river.The following day, after the storm passes, the hunters venture out onto the prairie to survey the aftermath, following the winding, crooked trails left by the buffalo. Along the way, they witness the grim reality of the hide-hunting trade, coming across hundreds of decaying carcasses and spoiled hides left behind to rot by other hunters. After continuing their hunt for two more weeks to fulfill their quota of 557 hides, they haul their haul back to Fort Hays to collect their pay. The episode closes on a reflective note as the group splits up, leaving the narrator alone in a saloon to ponder his descent into becoming a hardened, cold-blooded "buffalo runner."Support the showIf you'd like to buy one or more of our fully illustrated dime novel publications, you can click the link I've included. 

Change can feel like the ground shifting beneath your feet, even when it's a promotion, a new opportunity, or a long-awaited next step. New leadership responsibilities, organizational change, caregiving, entrepreneurship, or a job market transformed by AI can all trigger the same instinct: work harder, push through, and put yourself last.In this episode, we sit down with Ashwini Balasubramanian, Vice President of Research & Development for 3M's Transportation and Energy business and author of the forthcoming book Map Your Ascent: Embracing Change as Your Leadership Superpower. Moderated by VEST member Srijita Ghosh, the conversation explores how to transform uncertainty from something to fear into one of your greatest leadership advantages.Ashwini explains why change feels so difficult, even for high performers, unpacking the fear of losing control, competence, and confidence. She shares practical frameworks for shifting your mindset from focusing on what you might lose to asking who you can become. Together, they explore her Map Your Ascent framework, including how your beliefs shape your leadership, why your perspective evolves through change, and how to cultivate a presence that inspires confidence even in uncertain moments.The conversation also tackles one of the biggest challenges facing ambitious women today: distinguishing between perseverance and self-sacrifice. Ashwini shares the weekly reflection practice she uses to stay grounded, the "curiosity versus coasting" test that signals when it's time for a change, and practical strategies for navigating career transitions with intention. She also offers actionable advice on building sponsors, identifying transferable skills, creating an opportunity filter for major career decisions, and advocating for yourself in an increasingly uncertain world.Whether you're navigating a career transition, leading through organizational change, considering your next big move, or simply trying to thrive through a demanding season without defaulting to depletion, this episode will leave you with practical tools and a renewed perspective on how change can become your greatest catalyst for growth.

My job isn't to tell you what you want to hear. My job is to help you see the blind spots that are keeping your brilliance hidden from the people who need it most.In this episode, I'm sharing why even incredibly gifted entrepreneurs can struggle to attract clients - not because they're bad at what they do, but because their brand, messaging, and positioning aren't communicating the depth of their expertise.Inside this episode, we'll explore: Why blind spots exist in every business  The difference between being excellent at your work and communicating your value  How unclear messaging creates resistance in selling  Why your ideal clients should instantly recognize themselves in your brand  The foundation every sustainable business needs before adding more strategies  How honest feedback can become one of your greatest business assets Your business doesn't need more noise.It needs more clarity.Because when your brand reflects the depth of your experience, your expertise becomes easier to understand, easier to trust, and easier to invest in.✨ If you're ready for someone to help you identify the gaps, refine your positioning, and build a business that reflects the legacy you're here to create, applications for Magnetic Midlife™ are now open.Together, we'll simplify your business, strengthen your signature offer, build your authority, and create a brand that feels deeply aligned with who you are and impossible for the right clients to overlook.If this episode resonated with you, I'd love for you to share it with another woman entrepreneur who could use this reminder: sometimes the next breakthrough doesn't come from working harder - it comes from seeing your business from a new perspective.Support the showIf you enjoyed this episode, subscribe wherever you are listening.

Send us Fan MailPart Three of Buffalo Days details Josiah Wright Mooar's transition into the life of a buffalo hunter on the American Great Plains during the 1870s. Mooar recounts the arduous process of outfitting an expedition, highlighting the logistical challenges of securing reliable teams, specialized rifles like the Sharps, and enough supplies to sustain a hunting party for months in the wilderness. He emphasizes that the work was brutal, characterized by extreme weather, isolation, and the constant physical toll of skinning and processing hundreds of bison hides.Beyond the mechanical aspects of the trade, the author reflects on the grim reality of the near-extermination of the buffalo herds. He provides a first-hand account of the efficiency and ruthlessness of the professional hunters, whose systematic slaughter fundamentally altered the landscape and devastated the way of life for Indigenous peoples. The narrative serves as both a memoir of a rugged profession and a somber historical testament to the rapid ecological and cultural shifts that defined the era.Support the showIf you'd like to buy one or more of our fully illustrated dime novel publications, you can click the link I've included. 

Send us Fan MailPart Four of Buffalo Days details the intense encounters between the U.S. Army and 400 Native Americans and a regiment of "Buffalo Soldiers"—and the resilient Indigenous warriors of the Great Plains.The section also features a memorable account from Jim White, who shared a campfire story about the harsh realities of life on the plains. White's tale illustrated the unpredictable nature of the landscape and the constant threat to survival, grounding the historical military engagements in the personal, often harrowing experiences of those living through the era. This anecdote provides a humanizing perspective, contrasting the formal military history of the Buffalo Soldiers with the rugged, everyday existence of scouts and settlers in the American West.Support the showIf you'd like to buy one or more of our fully illustrated dime novel publications, you can click the link I've included. 

Send us Fan MailBefore sunrise, Josiah Wright Mooar sets out with Jim White to learn the technique of buffalo hunting from a stand. Moving six miles out, they locate a massive herd, utilizing the cover of sandhills and a riverbank to approach the animals while the skinners wait with a freight wagon nearby. As the buffalo draw close, Jim criticizes the animals' lack of intelligence and explains their tendency to stampede blindly. He then demonstrates how to set up a tripod shooting stand for his single-shot, lever-action Sharps .50 rifle. Jim methodically accounts for distance, wind, and bullet arc before opening fire. Using his specialized tripod, Jim systematically drops one buffalo after another; the narrator watches the animals lose their wild dignity as forty of them are killed without alerting the rest of the herd.Once the hunt concludes, Jim signals the team to begin the arduous work of processing the kill. The skinners move the wagons forward and immediately begin skinning the carcasses using specialized knives and a horse-hitch to peel the hides away. While Jim White remains on high ground to keep watch for potential Indian threats, the rest of the crew spends nearly the entire day skinning and cutting the animals. By late afternoon, they finish harvesting the hides for curing and secure the hindquarters of meat—valued at three cents a pound—to ensure a profitable haul for the camp.Support the showIf you'd like to buy one or more of our fully illustrated dime novel publications, you can click the link I've included.
