    Go door knocking. I get lots of no but do get some yes. I'm hunting right at 800 acres in Person county from knocking on doors and being friendly with people, but it's a haul of a drive from wnc and getting harder to get down there. Currently trying to find more properties closer to home. My...

    A question of ethics? ....conscience?

    As someone who has done the market garden before and farmers market. I'd gladly sell at wholesale prices to NOT have to go and deal with the farmers market. Also most farmers markets are now requiring you to grow what you sale because there was a ton of people buying everything at wholesale and...

    Looking to Move to Western NC or SW VA - Need Advice

    Don't live in asheville it's a shit hole. The good thing is about 30 minutes in any directions is still "country", but is growing up fast. I live close to @Lowg08 and head into asheville everyday to work. If I were you I'd just plan lots of family trips to see your kids and hunt public there. NC...

    300wsm vs 7prc vs 7rem mag?

    If you want to change the chassis or stock so bad. Buy a bergara barreled action and whatever rem700 stock you want No one is going to be making aftermarket stocks for the 400-600 dollar guns. Most people buying those guns aren't looking to spend another 3-400 on a different stock.

    Mountain Whitetail Kill Kit

    This is the truth. I hunted some public and was probably 150-200 yards from the truck and shot one that morning cut it up and carried it out. That afternoon I shot another one and figured I'd drag it to the truck and clean it at my buddies under a street light after dragging it I decided it...

    Mountain Whitetail Kill Kit

    I'll be honest at a mile to mile and a half I'm probably carrying a stand and sticks. If I kill at that distance I'm going back to the truck dropping everything off. And going back in with a mini gambrel and a mini block. A knife and game bags. It takes a little more time and walking but your...

    Processing meat after frozen

    You can get one for around 100 Dollars. It will just be slower than a more expensive one and you may have to let it cool down some if your doing a big batch of vacuum sealing. Getting good vacuum sealer bags is very important

    Processing meat after frozen

    Depending on where I'm hunting I will quarter it out leaving bone in and I have a fridge in my shop I will put it in to age. Once I let it age I cut all my roasts and do all my trimming. Usually take 1-1.5 hrs to get everything cleaned up really good (guy that showed me how to cut up a deer told...

    Choosing a Dog

    We've got French Brittany's small compact dogs. That go everywhere we go and are small for an upland dog 22-28 lbs. Like others have said Breed isn't as important as finding a good breeder. Ask for hip scores and health certificates of BOTH parents. Also most breeders are going to trail their...

    Processing meat after frozen

    I do this for burger or any thing that requires grinding. I'll cut up my deer into around 2" cubes and pack into 10lb packs and freeze. I'll get 4-5 packs before I setup and grind it all at once. I dont fully thaw the meat just get it enough to break up and feed through the grinder. I'll save a...
