    No USPS gun ship

    Still USPS regs that they ship. Was yours a local ordinance? Where do you live?

    Traveling to New Zealand with fire arm

    I know the form has had expiration dates on it, but the current one doesn't. And I believe the expiration date was just the last date you were supposed to use that version of the form, not that a completed form expires on that date. But I'm just a keyboard warrior on this. I'd definitely ask...

    Traveling to New Zealand with fire arm

    I can't think of any reason for this. Your forms are good "forever". You can laminate them and keep them for any combination of rifles. So why would they care if you showed up 2 years in advance with 4 rifles that you "might" one day take out of the country for a hunting trip? Seriously, ask...

    Traveling to New Zealand with fire arm

    We had to postpone our trip. But the 4457 can and should be filled out in advance if you have a local customs office. Bring your gun and get this done in advance to avoid any delays the day you fly. You always CAN do it the day you fly, but man I would not try it if you have an early flight. If...

    Traveling to New Zealand with fire arm

    You're welcome. Just went through this, although postponed the trip due to wingman needing surgery on his (previously) amputated leg stump. They seem to happily wait months to even look at your application and then apply frantic effort in the last couple of weeks before your visit to actually...

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    And...boom, new guy starting with the insults at the least pushback. Welcome to Rokslide. You're going to do great here. (y) BOT? Fudd? Curmudgeon? How can you tell the difference? Right onto the ignore list.

    Southerners

    Yes, good enough. I camp during the week, because on weekends I'm all about family. During the week I can leave work a little early and be at the campsite by sundown. Then it's make a fire; setup camp by headlamp; have a drink; cook my steak; and then sleep under the stars. Pack clothes for work...

    Southerners

    I try to camp on the coldest day of each week this time of year. Sadly, what passes for winter in the Lowcountry of South Carolina isn't exactly cold.

    NFL on Peacock 😡

    Live TV that you have to pay for? If you aren't already buying Peacock and not yet a fan of the NFL? We'll see.

    NFL on Peacock 😡

    BOYCOTTED. We have Peacock because we watch motocross and Supercross. We watched Supercross, which was on at the same time. Saw zero adds paid to the NFL. Pretty sure exclusive streaming always results in less viewers and destroys long term income. College ball moved to ESPN? We just stopped...

    TRT

    This all makes perfect sense. I'm 61 and went from 280 to 540 in a pretty short time. I do the following: 1. Sleep 8-10 hours a night 2. Sunlight exposure (no shirt, sometime shorts) 20-30 minutes a few times a week. I just walk around my industrial area at work. I generally do it barefoot to...

    The Shoot2hunt Podcast

    Bro. Bro. You've been an argumentative douche since very early, literally calling people names and making dick move comments about individuals. These have been pointed out, including specific instances noted by me, Formidilosus, and others. Checking your old posts, it's you who has changed...

    vacuum sealer uses beyond Meat processing/Storage....?

    My maple venison sausage can get pretty stiff if cooked completely in a skillet. I'm going to try this method...and I can already tell it will keep the links way more tender!

    Need powerful electric chainsaw

    Go to the Treebuzz.com forum and see what the arborists are using/recommending to each other. It's mostly Husky and Stihl.

    Pemmican: My way

    Recipes call for equal parts meat and fat, but in practice that is far too much. I add fat slowly and mix until about like thick peanut butter or slightly thicker. I bought Wagyu beef tallow on Amazon. Looks like beautiful Crisco, but tastes wonderful.

    The elk shoulder that stopped a 308

    If the bullet hit and reacted as they claim, something like this ^^^ had to have happened. Physics cannot be ignored. That amount of energy transfer is going to cause an equal and opposite reaction. Assuming weight was as listed, the claimed impact velocity literally cannot be correct. Things...

    Pemmican: My way

    I bought powdered strawberries on Amazon. I used my dehydrator on the blueberries.

    Pemmican: My way

    I dried mine in a countertop oven the first time, dehydrator the second time. Both worked great. Crackling dry, then in a blender. I sift it in a wire colander and put any remaining chunks in a mason jar for snacking at work. There is probably a better way to powder the meat than a blender, but...
