    Choosing a Dog

    We had one (duck trolling retriever) . It wasn't a bird dog but was a great family dog that was very smart. Minimal training and he still learned to potty train, sit, stay, leave rooms when asked, get in the truck, fetch, etc. One thing I will mention about the breed.....the long hair can cause...

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

    After making brats last year and using zip lock bags for freezer storage, i found out that didn't work well after about 2 months in the freezer. Decided to upgrade and bought a vac sealer over the weekend before I make the next big batch of brats. I would have preferred a chamber vac, but I dont...

    New to Me Garmin 200i and TT15 mini/ Can it replace my 66i for big game hunting too?

    Thanks.. I ran the collar to full charge and then did a test to see how long it would last, seems to be somewhere around 18 to 20 hrs without using it for shocks/vibrates, etc. So it appears that the handheld will run out faster than the Collar in real world use.

    New to Me Garmin 200i and TT15 mini/ Can it replace my 66i for big game hunting too?

    I got lucky tonight and found a200i/TT15 mini bundle on the facebook marketplace for $550! Very excited to put this to use on my young lab. I wasn't too concerned until he started chasing rabbits and a deer at Mach 3 "eating" the shocks" on the e collar and putting yardage between us in thick...

My favorite was mentioned early on.. AC Leggs #10. we recently tried making spam from it using the bearded butchers idea (they used...

    Dual Grind vs Single Grind

    SDHNTR..it depends on what Im trying to do. The bind you are referring to Im assuming is also meaning "Protein Extraction". For making a breakfast sausage for use later, I really don't want or need to obtain that. Same for burger. The added pork butt with fat does enough to bind the meat for...

    Choosing a Dog
