I probably should buy that but I’m feeding my shotgun addiction at the moment.

It all just depends on what you’re doing. If you want to count inches on mule deer or elk antlers or count rings on sheep…. You need that spotter. If you just want to find more game 15’s are the way to go. I almost never carry my spotter during hunting season. I do use it as a scouting tool. But...

That's great Steve. Nothing like good dog work! Planted birds aren't exciting but they serve their purpose. Nice way to extend the season and get the dogs more bird contacts.

I have a pair of used but not abused Steiner military/marine 8x30 binoculars. They were used for 2 hunting seasons before I upgraded. This is a great binocular for the guy that just needs something to get in the field with, or as a knock around truck binocular, or for someone that wants to add a...

Nice John

Kika might do it. I know they’ve done some hunts in X10. I would think they’d do D7/8 for sure.

I think that’s nonsense. What kind of velocity are those 150’s doing? I mean…. They either shoot well or they don’t out of your gun. To argue that a bullet will be unstable without seeing what it does with a certain gun is just talk… Nosler wouldn’t have loaded that for factory ammo if it didn’t...

Can confirm it’s awesome. Make it happen!

Wifey came through big with a very nice gift!

That’s a great buck…. I love that boxy look. My favorite.

JOC is great, especially for all things sheep hunting. I recently found a nice copy of his “Big Game Animals of North America” which is great book for the hunter on this continent. Lately I’ve been reading tons of stuff on Africa though. The Safaris of the old days (1950’s and earlier) were an...

Smoker would be a great way to do this. We loosely followed the instructions for the roast suckling pig from the game cookbook “Afield.” He recommends cooking over a spit. If no spit, he recommends a smoker or the way we did it if no smoker.

Only thing that would have made it better would be skin on over a spit…. I’m trying for that next year! Best wild game meat I’ve ever had! Caught a couple of squeelers in the hog trap in Texas when I was there for Thanksgiving. .22 to the head was a good death for them. Gave one to my sister...

Working the last three days so Christmas came on the 26th this year. Still have to exchange gifts with my wife tomorrow. My grandad used to say “if I can’t wear it, drink it, or read it, I don’t need it.” I seem to be trending that way as well. I’m always on the hunt for good copies of old out...

Just get it over with and let the tears flow….

I always do a coarse grind and a fine grind. It just makes for a more consistent texture. But I think a third pass can make it too mushy.

Yeah my cousin and her husband are both chefs and the first year I made sausage they told me to add some water as well but I have not continued to do that. I think running it through the grinder twice has a similar effect.

Yeah the fat will start to render if not cold. I put fat chunks and meat chunks in the freezer for a while before starting. I also take the grinder tube, plates and cutting blade and put them in an ice bath between passes through the grinder.

I saw a couple medium sized bulls sparring in a river but I didn’t see any real rutting. Our trip was last few days of August through the first week of September.

In September of 2019 my wife and I flew into SLC and rented an SUV. We drove to Jackson Hole and spent 3 nights there hiking in the Tetons. Then we drove north and spent 2 nights on the south side of Yellowstone and 2 nights on the north side. After that we drove up to Glacier NP and spent 2...
