    Waiting for the punchline...

    When a rancher lets someone come out and kill livestock it’s not called hunting. It’s called dispatching livestock. Why folks tend to call it hunting if it’s an animal species that is commonly hunted is beyond me.

    Any pemmican recipe success?

    Odd, we often made what we called “pemican”. It wasn’t a bar at all, more like trail mix. We cut the meat cross grain rather than with the grain like you do for jerky. We used deer, elk, or bear. We brine the meat in a dry brine of 1 part salt to 3 parts brown sugar for 8 hours or so. You can...

    Hey Washington Guys....

    You can go big game or small game for grouse and coyote, but big game would be several hundred. Not sure they offer a no tag option. Small game has the $68 3 day. No season, no limits. Just watch out for private property unless you find some “feel free to hunt “ that includes coyote.

    Ethical Deer head dilemma? Need help

    You probably should turn them into the police as lost. You may need to run an add before claiming them. I’m not sure what to think about your post seeming to imply you feel some ownership due to some unrelated add transaction. If you feel wronged on the $250 you should consider small claims.

    Fillet Knife for Meat Processing

    One of my current likes is the Dexter Russel V-lo 8” fillet knife for cleaning up meat. I like the Vickey 6” boning for boning and breaking down the muscle groups. I use a Dexter 10” breaking knife for cutting steaks out of the larger muscles. I also have a 6” fillet knife I use a lot for clean...

    Cool Picture Printing Ideas

    Costco does them on acrylic and canvas I believe. Wal-Mart does them on canvas. and Fractured does them on glass. I have a little of each, but like the Fractured glass ones best for smaller stuff, canvas for bigger stuff.

    Xmas Gift Ideas

    A long handle spoon for mountain house meals makes a good stocking stuffer. 100 feet of 550 cord. Synthetic game bags.

    Close call... Rockfall

    I'd imagine they moved their camp after that. Kind seems odd setting camp up in the middle of a rock fall area. That looks like one of those areas where you can just sit and listen to rocks falling all day long.

    Backpack / Frame Observation

    Sounds like a fitment/setup issue, and is probably aided by load lifter angle differences. I don’t know that I’m right, but I run my load lifters set so the pack straps run smooth across my shoulders and place the pressure on the front of my shoulders letting my waist belt carry most of the...

    How much salt?

    5# would probably set the hair fine if fleshed well. You’ll need to rub it into the hide and go heavy in the ears, face, and toes. Use 1/3 to 1/2 the salt, fold/roll and place to drain. Then after a day clean off wet salt and do again. Once out of salt hang hide up to air dry. You’d probably...

    Funny commercials.....

    I missed the rated R part and the funny part I guess. Maybe you linked the wrong video?

    One in the chamber...

    I agree with running 1 in the chamber of striker fired pistols. Have also ran hammer down on an empty cylinder on double action revolvers. Prefer the striker fired semi-auto pistols. Tap, rack, bang should have worked on the Glock assuming one didn't drop the magazine, but then if one knew how...

    Wyoming point problem

    Saw a pretty dang good buck in G this year elk hunting, but noticeably less deer than when I hunted it several years ago on 3 points I believe. The year we hunted it for deer everyone said it was on a down turn. I actually don’t recall a time when G wasn’t reported to be in a downturn.... 10...

    Any info on pow

    Timing is good for alpine spot and stalk. Honker wouldn’t get you much of that, you’d be in lowland muskeg at Honker. What kind of fishing? Generally in August you’d want to hunt alpine lakes and those would limit you to trout fishing in the lake. The float plane outfits will have a list of...

    Honker lake on pow

    Are you looking to fly into the cabin, or canoe the trail??? Last I recall it was thick lowland terrain with some muskeg. Don’t recall ever hunting it.

    Picking up a second muzzleloader, thoughts?

    I’ve tried the light weight muzzle loader deal. Had a 22” TC fire hawk. It was a joy to carry but lacked the barrel weight and length that helps me hold steady for off hand shots. I missed a few elk with that rifle. I’m just not real good off hand with light rifles. I’ll gladly pack the extra...

    Have we talked about female hunter under fire for posing with a kill with a, um, toy?

    Her “professional photographer” set her up to take photos with a goat with a farm fence in the background??

    Picking up a second muzzleloader, thoughts?

    A 50 cal roundball is about 155 grains. That’s about the lightest and least recoil full bore 50 cal projectile. Conicals start at about 240 grains with the Hornady PA conical and go up from there. Lighter would be expected to have less recoil. Likely flatter trajectory as well. My favorite is...

    Ultralight Chassis

    A foam filled carbon fiber tube (conventional stock) would be dang hard to beat for weight, noise, and rigidity. Aluminums strength to weight ratio is too low. Those light weight AR aluminum hand guards are only stable because they are attached to a large barrel nut and heavy aluminum upper...
