    Late onset agriculture

    Can’t speak to their training program but from the outside looking in, seems they have a pretty solid deal going on over there. Suspect a lot of the info could be gleaned by signing up for workshops with your local RCD. Either way spending a weekend around Etna / Ft. Jones could be...

    Late onset agriculture

    Working towards just this. Fortunate to have done pretty well in “real” career so as to be able to afford some property. But, we’re not doing it as a start of some new career, doing it as an investment and to preserve some space against neighbors so long as I can live rurally. Right now we’re...

    Is CWD the Imminent Doom for Hunting?

    This is generally the conclusion I’m coming to. If we’re dealing with something that cannot be effectively destroyed. Something that’s in the meat, and sheds into ice chests, game bags, saws, knives, truck beds…and you won’t know if (maybe) that meat is infected till days afterwords...

    Temu Deer Drag

    I don’t know that app and don’t know what they’re asking for that contraption. But, if you don’t want to pay for a Gucci game drag - buy a length of 2” or so dowel, cut a couple 8” ish lengths, drill hole through middle, push ends of a 1/4 or 3/8” rope loop through holes, knot the ends and away...

    How often do you find unrecovered animals?

    More or less ever year when I hunt elk. Raghorn this year, decent six last year. Pretty much the same for a fifteen year run we hunted Colorado. Have to wonder if folks never find an unrecovered animal are curious enough to walk up and see what the magpies are all over…..

    Country music

    Darrell Scott is fantastic. Wrote a bunch of hits for others, but more than carries his own water as a singer / musician in general. Robert Plant asking him into his Band of Joy (revised) probably says it all. Check out his version of A Satisfied Mind. Wow

    Modified gutless

    Not an issue finding them, more a concern pulling them out that close to the full gut. All that pressure and knowing what happens if I were to nick it, relative to pulling them out of a gutted cavity, was the issue. Never dawned on me to just rip them out by hand, maybe I’ll try that. End of...

    Modified gutless

    More curious about the liver than anything. I love chicken liver, like deer liver, don’t care for beef liver. Figure I may give elk a try in the right situation. You eat the kidneys?

    Mountain Truck setups

    Work in the woods, drive a stock 1/2 ton. Shovel, McLeod, saw, tow strap. Out of state hunts right now I’m driving a 250. Wench, 2nd spare, shovel, compressor, tire patch kit, tow strap, saw. Don’t have chains in either, mainly due to being lazy. Do switch to snow tires in the winter...

    Modified gutless

    I’ve broke down a few animals via the gutless method but don’t like the process of getting out the tenderloins or heart, let alone the liver. This year I’ll be doing it alone and it’s always enough a pain with someone helping. So, I’m thinking of changing it up. Has anyone sawn the ribs off...

    Football fans???

    Agree with all that. He’s got a great sorry and would be easy to root for….if he didn’t play for the ‘niners. All good man, niners fans have a lot to root for this year.

    Football fans???

    They’re a great team and I hate them for it. Aside from me generally despising SF and not wanting anything good to happen to the city, ever, I’ve hated them since ‘85 when they ruined the only chance the greatest qb to ever throw a pass (Marino’s) chance at a sb ring. I hope Purdy slips on...

    Snow tracks on ATV

    Per earlier comments, too small. We have a few of them. Bigger is better. Power steering is better. A 570 w/o power steering might lead you to a bad experience. We do most our business with the folks at ATV tracks.net out of Spokane, WA. You can google them. They’ve done pretty good by us. End...

    Driving Snowy Environment

    Have put thousands of miles on packed snow / ice roads and haven’t found anything close to Nokian Hakkapeliitta tires. Not much lug at all on them, so if you’re going to be in bad mud part of the time you’ll probably want to go a different direction, or look at pairing them with a good set of...

    Your favorite hunting knife?

    After several blades popping off in the cavity last year I’m pretty sure I’m round filing the havalon. So maybe a couple different benchmades, an old buck my dad gave me, a custom I bought at RMEF annual conference that’s been with me for near a decade ago and one or two of those cheap but...

    Long Term Repercussions of Sports

    It’s a shame. Fanatical parents, coaches, recruiters, booster clubs….ugh. Glad I live in a rural area where it seems the coaches and faculty are happy to have enough players to field a full team. It’s a shame to hear this. Around here there is decent competition to make varsity squads but I’m...

    Long Term Repercussions of Sports

    Agreed on all this. I was a three sport athlete in HS. Loved it but simply not good enough to compete above the juco level after, so hung it up for lifting and non contact sports afterwords. I’m sure I’d have way less pain and perhaps a little better memory now than if I didn’t wrestle and...

    Backcountry food. What’s your go-to?

    I really like those FBomb bars. Good calorie to weight and tasty. Can’t find them anymore. Hope they’ll make another run prior to elk season.
