    Skin on or skin off when field dressing Elk?

    Cutting through the elk hide definitely takes the sharpness off the edge, especially when going through the long neck hair with all the dirt and grime collected there. Thats why I like to end up my skinning/quartering at the neck. There isn’t a right or wrong way to do it, just be proficient...

    DIY Predator Call

    Slow day at the hacienda today so I did a little project. My son’s dog tore apart a squeak toy awhile back when they were visiting. I happened to save the squeaker. Decided to make another hand-held predator call. Used a piece of scrap dowel and some drill bits. Works good!

    Keeping wall tent warm throughout the night.

    I’ve used the DuraFlame logs to keep the stove going all night. Load up with wood and put the log on top. Had good embers in the morning. You have to watch for soot / gunk buildup in the stove pipe after a few days though

    Skin on or skin off when field dressing Elk?

    My first cut is around the hock, split / skin down to the EoS, skin around the hind quarter, up the belly, and down the ribs to the spine. This gives me a nice place to lay the quarters after removing before getting them into a game bag. Here’s a pic of my cow moose I did by myself that...

    Gun for Elk Hunting in Thick Timber

    ^^^ I killed elk in that unit 25 years ago. Back then it was much easier to hunt. Seriously, look for a better area without all that deadfall. You’ll have a much better experience

    Skin on or skin off when field dressing Elk?

    My ML bull this Sept I shot at 6:50pm. Gutless, skinned, quartered, bagged and was packing front quarters and loose meat at 830pm. I’m not taking the time to debone in the dark.

    Down booties for stand hunting?

    Spray your feet with unscented foot antiperspirant before you put your socks on. Game changer

    How to Handle Once in a Lifetime/Premium Tag?

    Just because it takes a lot of PPs doesn’t necessarily mean the deer are bigger. Just means there are less tags issued. There’s still lots of people because anymore, tag holder brings all their family and friends along.

    Shell/topper leak question (try to make it waterproof vs bedroll)

    They actually make a truck topper seal kit

    Shell/topper leak question (try to make it waterproof vs bedroll)

    You don’t have to take the topper off. Get a roll of weatherstripping adhesive tape, undo clamps on one side, gently lift the topper up and prop up with a 2x4 or something. Install weatherstripping tape and let topper down. Repeat on other side.
