    Cooking moose meat suggestions

    If it's recipes you're searching for, I would encourage you to approach the task cut-by-cut. Generally speaking red meat from one antlered critter or another can be treated the same as beef, although venison is better than beef. The good news is Moose is the best of venison, it's mellow and...

    Duck breast prep

    The simplest answer is to treat duck breasts like a good steak. I grew up eating a lot of duck and not really loving it because we cooked it hard. These days though, it's duck and goose that gets me the most excited about cooking. For breasts only, you're starting off on the right foot by...

    Waterfowl Migration!

    I'll second that. I had regular, albeit moderate luck jump-shooting small water in Central Oregon, but it was another rough year. Now that season is over though the ducks have found our marsh and we're seeing more pintails than we have in a looong time. Also of note; geese seem to be doing...

    Jackrabbit.

    I've had great success with Jacks and Snowshoe Hare, but Slow-cooking is my go-to method for both. Try braising them and picking the meat. Probably my favorite thing is Hare Rillettes; It ends up tasting like really good creamy/fatty/salty leftover pot roast. Awesome on toast or crackers and...

    Meateater sells a controlling stake to anti-gun Democrat?

    I'm glad Rinella set the record straight, but I think we should also use this as a lesson. WAY too many of you dug in your heels on the basis of a perceived slight to your political ascription. Rinella said it as well as anyone could; "If we're going to protect the future of hunting and the...

    Input on Schnee’s Timberlines

    Working on a full write-up, but I can give you the broad-strokes here. Super comfortable and reasonably light. Considering the materials they're a solid-quality boot. I did have some stitching come loose, but I'm hoping that was a one-off, Schnees has been kind enough to replace them. I would...

    Christensen Arms MPR

    I was on your program too. Wanted to build a Proof/Bighorn gun, but after getting wildly misquoted on the delivery date of Bighorn's Origin action, I bought a 22" MPR in 6.5. Since I wasn't really planning on having a chassis, I bedded a stock up for the MPR barreled action. I still think I...

    Arrow fletchings: Straight, Offset, or helical?

    I really think you're on to something with the Pro-Max vanes and a nano-diameter shaft. Ultimately I think that plus increased FOC will give you faster, flatter arrow flight no matter what brand you choose That said, I'll throw in a vote for the Valkyrie System. The Day6 stuff looks great and...

    Valkyrie Broadheads

    Can confirm. I took a late-season whitetail in December. The shot was right in the pocket and the arrow zipped through like a hot knife through butter. The deer made it about 25 yards before wadding up in the snow but the arrow went about 50.

    Valkyrie vs Iron Will.......What say you

    It's funny you mention your concern about speed and arrow drop. I was worried about that too, but my Valkyrie setup shoots flatter than other arrows up to 100 grains lighter. I think the high-BC owes to a combination of factors; reduced drag of tiny vanes/nano-diameter shaft/relatively small...

    Valkyrie Practice Arrows

    Short answer; Get a newer target. On my new-ishMorell small block (maybe 10" deep), I get the tips sticking out the back side from one to four inches. If you're shooting on a larger target, you won't run into that problem until it's pretty shot up. I have had more than a couple complete...
