    Moose fat

    I used to be a purist but grilling burgers wasn’t great and I consider myself an excellent wild game cook. We started mixing in local pork fat from a farm down the road. Certainly not crap. Killer burgers and nice to have an option with a bit of fat in the meat. Our animal protein diet at...

    Late season fleece options

    Looking for suggestions or experience for a late season fleece jacket. Use would be still hunting western whitetail and mule deer from a truck camp (not backpacking). I listed some options below. I have the Cabela’s Berber fleece and it’s ok but I’m looking for something a bit warmer without...

    Moose fat

    I made soap out of my whitetail fat last year. Easy and came out great. Still have some left for candles.

    Field Judge Practice

    Low 150 maybe. He’s not very wide and his forks are not real deep all the way around. Good deer to me but not a high score.

    Petition - OTC for Colorado Residents

    Likely so. I’d guess that a good number of NR would choose to build points and not hunt every year vs hunt zero point draw units in place of OTC.

    Petition - OTC for Colorado Residents

    Non residents can also hunt every year on draw tags without unlimited OTC opportunities for those who choose to hunt vs build points. Plenty of zero point hunts, you just don’t get that pp and be able to hunt. I’ve killed 7 of my 8 bulls on draw hunts that non residents can get with no points...

    Shiras Game Bag Size & #

    Thanks. I think I’ll add some more of the TAG bags to my kit. I appreciate the offer. Good for size reference. I have some canvas bags from Davis tent that I’ll keep in the truck if I need to swap out.

    Shiras Game Bag Size & #

    Thanks Larry. If I put the hams and shoulders in the big bags (x4), how many 18x30 do you think I need for the rest of the meat boned out plus heart? Been a long time user of your bags. I just wish they were marten proof;)

    Shiras Game Bag Size & #

    Looking for experienced input on the size and number of game bags to have in my kill kit for Colorado Shiras bull moose. I use TAG bags and for elk I normally carry four 24x44 for the quarters and one or two 14x34 for loose meat. In my inventory, I have nine 24x44, four 14x34, and two 14x20...

    Wondering if there is anyone on here that has retired early (FIRE Movement)

    I’m 44 and should be able to semi retire at 48 and fully retire at 50. 50-60 will be living off personal investments. I might stay full time until 50 which will give me a nice extra cushion based on my annual savings and retirement contributions.

    My post was a joke, not initiating debate on technicalities.

    Can we stop being rude & insulting please? Think before you click. Please don't get banned!

    “Ironically some of the folks guilty of this actually have a lot to offer and can be a great source of info.” There are several members with high post count who show up on threads just to be shitty. Sometimes it’s subtle but the intent is obvious and the post adds no real value. Biggest...

    Exo Mountain K4?

    I did on my right side where im a little bulkier than my left. It’s right where the shoulder strap padding ends. On my kifaru packs the padding ends higher or I have the length set shorter, and there’s a little less padding not as dense. On the K4 it’s opposite, not that any of this is an...

    Mid-day mule deer strategy?

    For Colorado rifle seasons, I’ve located bucks mid day by getting in a position where I can glass into secluded small pockets with adjacent cover. Think about a small deep draw on a steep ridge that has dark timber on one side of the draw and open enough in the draw bottom or other side to...
