    50 cal load for youth?

    My son (13 yr old) just got his first mule deer tag in NV. He can hunt all 3 weapons seasons. I'm thinking of trying some of these loads out and see if we can get out in September with the muzzleloader before rifle season opens in October.

    Nevada approves moose hunt

    They are here already, or atleast right on the CA-NV boarder. I have friends that have seen them in the Sierras and they were wolves alright.

    I'm in the same boat. I'm right at 421gr arrow weight and looking to replace the 12gr insert with a 50.

    Grinding shank meat

    I usually cut the neck bone out just for the easy of vacuum sealing, but I cook it the same way. Just melts all of the connective tissue.

    Have T3x Lite Compact .223 - next up .270 low recoil?

    While it may be objectively untrue, I was going by the comments of my small statured 12 year old.

    Sold Mossberg mini super bantam 20 ga

    I think we have just the regular bantam and not the mini, but its been a good gun for my son. He is 12 now and it will probably fit him another year or two.

    Have T3x Lite Compact .223 - next up .270 low recoil?

    I wouldn't look past 7mm-08 either. The reduced recoil rounds kick about the same or less than .223 and you can go up to heavier bullets down the road. Both of my kids got these at 12 and I really like the round and how it performs.

    Elk and Deer hunting with 10 and 12 yr old

    Great job and great pictures! I just had my first big game hunt with my daughter at 14 and my son (12) will hopefully draw some tags soon. I have a great time out with them in the wilderness. Always great memories!

    Release Recommendations

    I shot an index for the last 10 years on and off just for fun. My son got a bow and needed a release and mine fit him well, so I gave him mine and decided to try a thumb. I found a used Spot Hogg Whipper Snapper on ebay after reading lots of reviews and decided to try it out. I must have been...

    We ran out of time and had to freeze meat and butcher at home

    It should be no problem. When we hunt out of state, we usually try to freeze the meat and bring it on the airlines in coolers. Just start butchering it as it thaws.

    Grinding shank meat

    I used to spend time to clean them up and grind, but never again. 5 hours in the Dutch oven at 375 degrees and they just fall apart.

    Differences between mule deer and elk strategy?

    It has been basically the same for me. Locating them is half of it and then getting close enough is the other half.

    Colorado Open-sight Muzzy hunt

    Great video and congrats on the two great bucks. This was our first year hunting pronghorn and it is my favorite hunting so far. Quick decisions and things happen fast. Great job!

    How Many 300+ Inch Bulls Have You Killed

    I was able to put a stalk on a 340” bull on my muzzleloader hunt last year. We dropped the distance from 700 yards down to 250. The wind changed and the 30 cows that were bedded on the hillside got up and he followed them never to be seen again. It was a rush, but man I wanted that bull.
