    DIY Freeze Drying

    @Dos Perros - Yes, I've had the same thought. I have the medium freeze dryer from HarvestRight and while I haven't offered it for a fee, I have offered it to my hunting buddies who have dietary restrictions and can't eat even the top shelf freeze dried meals. They currently bring coolers into...

    Where to find Dusky's in the sage?

    For the last few years I have taken my English Setter out on Sept 1st to hunt some duskys in the sage, which I hoped would be a nice warmup/teaser for the upcoming upland season.

    Scientists identify a deadly toxin that's been killing birds. (Can I have regular ammo back now?)

    Great article, thanks for sharing. It's really no surprise that a microbe is to blame, as we are really just starting to understand them. A great read about what we know, and what we are learning about microbes for non-scientists is the book "I Contain Multitudes" by Ed Yong. The book confirms...
