Oh yea it shoots great, I took the crappy Williams sight ( I think that is what was on there originally) and had a set of sights that I had from a Remington 700, and both front and rear sight were the exact same threads, every thing fit perfectly. It’s a lot “ finer” sight and I was much more...
I’m curious to see something that states that 72 hours is the the maximum time where the aging process has been completed.
This is not the 72 hours, but found this. And that wet aging article is Beef, and they don’t want to give away their secrets, but I assure you it’s not soaking in a cooler...
I bought a knight 85 or what ever they are, way back when. I hunted with it twice and it has just sat in the safe sense. I just prefer flint lock or side lock. Inlines seem to be real popular on this sight. Any body here know what approx. it’s worth ?
Times have changed drastically over the years. When I could first hunt big game, it was for meat, nothing else. 90% of the times we would shoot does. Even if we had the option of a buck. If you got a buck, great, antlers got hung on the shed, or thrown on the pile. Didn’t matter how big or...
Hey that shed kinda looks like mine, before I stained it and painted it. And mine had several of the tines chewed on ( off) by rodents, that I had to fix. Edit, not sure how I came upon this post. Just noticed it was from Sept. my bad.
My dad used to say “ the best time to go hunting or fishing, is when ever you can”. If you don’t want to go while the black powder hunters are in the field, go the week before black powder opens. We again go when we can, and have some of our best luck the same time muzzle loader is open. You...
We have used one of these to turn our freezers into a refrigerators ( we have chest freezers mounted to our side by side trailers) to keep the meat at temp. and dry, until we are ready to go home also. Then a couple nights before we are to leave remove it, and let it freeze solid for the ride...
Deer don't always eat the best things ever, either. We have seen them eat our toilet paper after taking a dumps. And going to check a few times most I believe ate the dump itself. Cause they was gone.
We used to process beef, pork and smoke slabs of bacon and fish for a butcher shop growing up. We never soaked anything in water other then brine for fish and curing for the bacon( which wasn’t soaking in water, but defiantly wet). At the same time we all hunted and processed animals ( deer...
I didn’t say 72 was the maximum, I said after 72 rig amortize has happened, and largest benefits of aging have happened. Aging for longer periods under IDEAL conditions ( controlled temp, controlled humidity, and air circulation) sure. But meat on ice in a cooler is very farrrrrr from ideal...
We have friends and family in the south ( seems soaking, icing down is the norm). Those same people when we process there cattle and pigs, would not think about putting it on ice. Asked why, they just say never have. Well why do you do it to " venison", same answer, always have, brought up that...
I don’t have a dog in this fight, but our fire station is just like 8 blocks form the grocery store (max) and they show up in the ladder truck and at least 6-8 of them do the grocery shopping, every week. I don’t care, just find it odd.
If you can shoot straight walled cartridges, buy a shilo sharps. Why mess with the rest, have loaded cartridges ready, for the second and third and forth shot. Far more “traditional “ also then the inlines. They have competitions out to a 1000 yards with them, the rifles capable, most shooters...
Damn, how many animals do you not recover. If worried it’s in the gut pile, you could always bury or burn the gut piles, so birds won’t get it. I am trying copper bullets to see how they perform, as I know the day is coming it will be required. When I do see dead animals, road kill or other...
