    Trophy displays

    Nice work. Really like the Sixshooter display. My side gig is custom furniture. I have a full time job that gets in the way of my woodworking, but I manage to make a few pieces for customers as well as furniture for my house. Haven't got around to a website yet, afraid of creating demand that...

    Recommend me books on butchering

    I will Third on Scott Rea's You-tube channel. I have been processing my own game for years and have always cut bone-in venison chops (mini tomahawk steaks). It took a lot of effort to get it right, until I watched his videos and learned the easy way to do it. Watching his videos showed me new...

    The 'BEST' Binoculars

    No, they were not my first pair, and I have tried others. Just the rubber eye caps on them are the only ones that seem to work for me while wearing glasses. The best glass in the world wouldn't do me any good if I cant see the full image or have to take off my glasses to use them.

    The 'BEST' Binoculars

    I can only speak for the under $500 group. The only binos that I have been able to use and see the entire view is the Vortex Diamondback. Yeah cheap I know, but the Vortex eyecups really work well for me wearing glasses. With other binos that have used, I would have to focus them to use without...

    Elk or mule deer this fall - planning and guide

    Sure no problem, but just keep in mind that I am not what they call an expert. I am still a western hunting newbie and learning the lessons the real hard way, but having lots of fun in the process.

    Electrolyte supplements

    Back in my Army days, we used simple ORS (oral rehydration salts) packets from the baby food section in the grocery store. They are for rehydrating infants when they get dehydrated from being sick. Army actually issued the packets to us. Half a packet mixed into canteen really helps in long...

    Elk or mule deer this fall - planning and guide

    Last two seasons, my brothers and I drove out to Idaho to hunt. DIY all the way. We managed to get one bull the first year and a mule deer the second. We could have done better, but we were not hunting smart. With tags, traveling, and food, it could be done for about $2000-3000 depending on...

    Breckenridge County Kentucky

    I have hunted in Yellow Banks WMA which is in that county. Yes to deer, turkey, and trophy ticks. Oh and waterfowl coming off the Ohio river once deer season ends. About an hour from me and other hunting areas closer so I don't get over there too often. Everyone was griping about the turkey...

    Suggestions for food prep chef / kitchen knife or knives

    I picked up some butcher knifes from Victorinox recently and really like them. I got a 10" butcher and 6" boning knife. For a chef's knife, I have been using a Cold Steel Chef's knifes for years. For about $30, the Cold Steel is hard to beat. The first one I had lasted over 10 years. When the...

    What .22 Pistol for a Suppressor

    I have a S&W M&P Compact 22 and currently on the waiting list for a can. I had a Beretta and a Ruger before and ended up getting rid of them in favor of the S&W. Love that pistol and how it shoots. Can't wait to get the can on it. Already have a set taller sights if needed.

    Reloading presses: RCBS or Redding Boss

    Have you looked at the Lee classic cast press? It is a beefier and larger version of the challenger press. My brother has the challenger press and was impressed with my cast iron Lee classic. I have been loading 223, 6.8 SPC, 257 Rob, 30-06, and 338 WM and have not had a problem with it.

    Fenn's Treasure

    Read about it. I think that if I found it, I would not publicize it. I would not want that target on my back.

    A few questions regarding elk from newbie

    I was out there the past two years. I used the Cabala's micro fleece hunting pants (no loner available), and long sleeve t-shirts. I had light weight and mid weight base layers. Hoody, a light weight fleece jacket and a heavy jacket. Wore the hoody the most with the mid weight base layer top...

    Expect sub MOA from Remington?

    I have an older Rem 11-87. Nice bluing, nice walnut, nice fit and finish. Hate taking it out in the rain, so I recently picked up a newer low price version in synthetic. Disassembled it to clean the gunk off and was surprised on how rough all the parts were especially the bolt and locking lug...

    Headed to Idaho!!

    I hunted the Salmon zone last year and have my B tag for this year. Going to try to hunt Colorado 1st Rifle if we get drawn, then shoot up for a few days hunt near Challis. Our alternate plan is Colorado 3rd week, so a quick trip up to Idaho before Colorado may be doable. There were a lot of...

    Idaho rifle Elk 2019 ?s

    We hunted the Sawtooth in 2016, and Salmon in 2017. Sawtooth, we truck camped. Lesson learned, don't go with a cheap tent. It rained then snowed, we had no chains and were lucky to get out just in time. Ended up in Stanley hunting out of a hotel. One elk between 4 hunters. Salmon, we planned...

    Better "stock" up boys

    I have two ARs, a 5.56 set up for varmints, and a 6.8 SPC set up for deer hunting. I really only use 10 round mags and have no need for a bump stock. I know that many others will disagree, but if they were to ban 30+ round mags and bump stocks, that would only worry me in the slippery slope...

    foot pain with surgery in the forecast

    Have not had that surgery, but I did have surgery to have a bunion corrected back in 2005. I happy with the results with the exception that they left something sticking out. For the longest time, I though it was a screw that was not set in deep enough. Last year, I finally had an xray that...
