Great job on this. She did great...in fact...waited longer than I think I would have. This is EXACTLY why I started carrying the Glock 29 10mm when we go turkey hunting in the mtns of New Mexico. Sounding like a hen turkey may attract gobblers....but Im sure the big cats hear a dinner bell...
I wish they could come out with a reckoning that could attach/detach as quickly as the stryker XL. I was surprised to see the stryker XL weighs 2 pounds, 9.6 ounces and is only 1500 CI. The reckoning comes in at 2 pounds 13oz and is 5000 CI (6500 CI when the lid isn't rolled down). Im sure there...
you bet. I was pulling the roll straight up with both hands and suction cups were holding in case you were wondering. and yes...the slide cutter is a game changer. It cuts in both directions too....so cut one way, wrap your meat. Then pull more saran wrap, and slide the cutter back in the...
My wife themed my Christmas around meat processing. I typically wrap meat in plastic wrap first, and then use the freezer paper over that for freezing meat. The biggest PITA about it managing and cutting the saran wrap. So one of the gifts she got me for xmas that was a fairly inexpensive gift...
I skin them in the garage but all meat processing is done in the kitchen so far. To say my garage is full of stuff is an understatement. I have a lawn care biz I run on the side, so space in the garage is hard to come by.
For Christmas I got an electric sausage stuffer. I already have the...
We bought a hog trap back in Nov and started working on thinning them out. Fifth hog was trapped on 23 December. wife told me to hold off on the grinding until after Christmas. Turns out...I got a new electric sausage stuffer and the large freezer paper holder. So...yesterday, we made 35 pounds...
Havalon in the bino harness, and adding my Victorinox 4" utility/multi use blade inside the plastic blade cover this year. The weight on that Victorinox comes in at 3.4 oz including the blade cover. My thought is the havalon can be used for skinning chores and the Vic for meat work/deboning...
I made 25 pounds of wild hog sausage over the weekend (well, 15 pounds wild hog combined with 10 pound of domestic pork butt) and used the Leggs #10 blend, and we like it pretty good.
Ive also used the Hi mountain Hunters original and the Maples blend. Id say the Original is similar to the...
I ended up going with a Glock 29 10mm with hardcast bullets. I don't carry it if I am rifle hunting. If I do tag out and have to make meat haul trips, I grab the handgun and leave the rifle at the truck, But if the wife has the tag (and the gun), I carry the glock in a Kydex holster from JC...
Update on this....I've processed two wild hogs and whitetail so far this year with the new knives, and I have no complaints. Good edge retention so far, and comfortable in the hand. I even added a cpl more to the set including this one:
Victorinox Black Boning - Utility 4" Blade, 4 inch, Multi...
I just went thru a similar decision process about a month or so ago. I ended up putting together a set using the Victorinox Fibrox Pro knives.
