    Vacuum sealing burger bags

    I am at 1.8 sec out of 3 seconds max. I first tried 3 of 3 and it almost burned through.

    Vacuum sealing burger bags

    I just bought a chamber sealer. I can’t believe how much better and faster it works. I waited about 10 years too long. Every big game hunter needs one.

    Vacuum sealing burger bags

    Ok. So I bought a chamber sealer, vac master vp215, and tried sealing a burger bag. I needed to dial down the seal time but it worked fantastic. Burger bags are much thinner than my vac bags. I’ll do about 100 lbs of burger with hog rings, I should be able to go through that in a year, then the...

    Vacuum sealing burger bags

    I was successful on my once and a lifetime bison hunt and now need to process an extraordinary amount of meat. I have typically vacuum sealed my grind, with great results, but am looking to speed up the process using burger bags. I want to keep the grind a maximum of 2 years without any hint...

    UT Bison Tag - Book Cliffs

    The Bison hunt starts Sept 14, in the middle of my archery elk season. I will likely be leaving directly from my elk hunt to my bison hunt. I assume I will be spent after hunting elk so I have decided a full service plush hunt to "recover" since it is probably what I will want at that time...

    UT Bison Tag - Book Cliffs

    Somehow, I was lucky enough to get drawn for a once in a lifetime bison hunt in Eastern UT. Bull or cow, any legal weapon. I am a DIY solo archery hunter that takes great personal pride in the process; hiking in, finding the animals, making the shot, and of course the heavy packout if lucky...

    Antelope hunt gone right

    I doubt I was clear. I spent opening morning driving home to pick up the cartridges, then I drove back to the hunt spot. 5 hour round trip during opening morning

    Antelope hunt gone right

    Spend enough time and effort in the field, even the worst get lucky. This LONG story starts out with me realizing I forgot my cartridges the night before antelope opener on a DIY public land buck antelope hunt in eastern Colorado. Having had a few beers, I could not drive the 2.5 hours home to...

    Kifaru Belt Sizing Question

    I would go with a medium. I am a 34-36 and the medium is perfect, with room to go both ways. I tend to lose weight throughout a hunt, or the hunt season, and become more like a 34-33. But talk to Kifaru to get their thoughts. If you are not pressed for time, I am sure they would swap it for a...

    BOAL encounter…what would have you done?

    Nothing to do but be aggressive. But then again you are talking to a guy who is currently staring at a tag next to the computer, who had a early morning 42 yard shot on a 4 point rag, who decided to let down because he thought he could do better. I am not sure you want my opinion.

    Does anyone stealth camp?

    The only reason I can think of that privilaged people stealth camp is money. Or clicks. I cant inagine people bragging that they slept in a median or round about. The reason I do it is because I want to be close to the fishing or hunting and I do not want other people to find my honey hole...

    WTB WTB: bow press

    I made one with 2x4s, door hinges and a piece of all thread. I am a little scared of it, but it seems solid enough.

    help me trouble shoot my rifle

    This is exactly what I was thinking. I bought a .270 WSM, Winchester Model 70, and cases used to get stuck. I sent it back and Winchester said it was headspace issues. They gave me a new rifle.

    How's the big game draw going?

    Good luck on Idaho sheep. Best non-resident odds around. A bit expensive and forfiet all other elk, deer, antelope draws, but I think it is worth it. I applied for Idaho RM sheep as well.

    How's the big game draw going?

    Be careful. Some states will purge your points. It is important to stay on top of it regardless. Maybe I shouldnt have said anything. One more tag for me :)
