Finished my bacon today! 18 days EQ cure, left has black pepper added, right is maple syrup. Smoked in my traeger on low over applewood for 4 hours. Turned out good for a first try, overdid the pepper a little bit lol. I think it would be better if I had a way to cold smoke it for a longer time...
Yeah, I haven’t hunted for as long or killed as many animals as some guys, maybe a lot of guys. But in my humble opinion and experience, anyone who thinks their shot placement and cartridge selection means zero follow up shots on elk, maybe hasnt shot very many elk.
I shot a spike elk several...
No, they are not the same.
Lol, yes, I was being pedantic, but it was in response to @TaperPin calling a magazine a clip. Mostly because he also comes across as pedantic sometimes. No offense meant, all in good fun.
What do you mean no? Granted, there is probably more that 14 guys on here that hunt with an m1 garand. I was just making a point that there is very few.
This. If the 223 thread and 6mm thread had the same pics of terminal performance, the same reports of quick kills and being able to observe the animal through the scope for the entire shot process, but did NOT specify the cartridge or bullet weight…. I wonder what most would think of the...
This point has already been addressed, but you have obviously not spent much time on rokslide if you think people here are not encouraging new guys to learn all they can!
If someone quote “knows nothing about bullet placement”, and cant even place a 223 round in the front half of a deer...
There has been multiple bear kills documented on the 223 thread, as well as elk, moose, deer, even a walrus…. Do you just need to see it happen with your own eyes? Do you actually think everyone in that thread is secretly killing stuff with a 338 win mag and claiming it was a 223? Not trying to...
Yeah I love mine. Never bought em, but I believe Altra sells a rock guard, basically a thin piece of stiff plastic that goes under the insole. If anyone buys a pair for a transition boot and they are still a little too soft soled for you, might want to look into that. No personal experience with...
Not a brown bear or a TMK, but Harry Caldwell shot a lot of tigers in China with a 22 Hi Power. Its been several years since I read his book, so I did a little google research to refresh my memory. He went to China in the early 1900’s as a missionary, and found out someone needed to deal with...
I have been wearing minimalist shoes and boots for eight years, mostly vivo and lems, one pair of altras and a couple pairs of xeros. I used to deal with constant back pain, it disappeared once I started wearing them. I also would sprain or twist my ankles fairly often when hiking, hardly ever...
