    Bino Harness Recommendation

    Thank God my feet are size 13. If they were size 9 I wouldn't have seen them since 1986…..

    Bino Harness Recommendation

    My AGC was too bulky for my needs. As well as opened the opposite direction I wanted. I looked at many options. It was built bulletproof but just wasn't what I wanted. I been happy with my more minimalist marsupial. I am older and like a few have too much junk in the trunk. I dont need anymore...

    Sharpening Knives in the Field

    I use the worksharp field sharpener. Maybe I started using those 5/6 years ago. They have worked out the best for me after using many other sharpeners over my 45 years of hunting.

    Who pokes their dead animal in the eye?

    Just a habit now. I started off hunting wild hogs and learned to check them big boars. I cant say I ever had one come back to life but I never trusted them.

    What the closest face-to-face encounters you've had with animals while hunting?

    I been as close as under 10 ft from Whitetail. As close as Five from wild boar and turkeys. My Golden retriever jumped out of my jeep once and retrieved a armadillo which he proudly dropped on my lap. That thing ran right up my chest and over my shoulder. I dang near busted the steering wheel...

    Walk-in cooler with cool bot materials

    Make sure you build it tall enough if you want to hang whole field dressed deer. Even with the rear leg shanks cut off they are surprising tall with their heads and racks still on.

    Sausage stuffer and grinder reccs.

    I been using my LEM 1 hp #22 big bite with foot peda for at least a decade. No issues. One grind and done. I use the plate with the big kidney shaped holes and the large diameter tube to stuff grind and fresh sausage into meat bags. I have a simple taper I bought from LEM to seal them. I...

    LEM Dual Grind

    About the only complaints I ever hear on LEM grinders are on the duel grinders. I been using a 1 hp #22 Lem big bite for a decade now. I only grind once but I always make sure my meat are very cold and firm. I get a good product with one grind. Its so fast even if I did want to do a second...

    LEM Dual Grind Tips

    If your only running it once thru. Just mix it all together before you grind and grind it all together. Make sure meat and additional fat are very cold and firm before grinding. After you grind it all the mix it good before you package it. Mixing the finished grind will give you the best...

    Did you forget your rifle in the Mendocino NF?

    At least two guys I know did. One shot a deer and set his gun against a tree. Field dressed the deer hooked up to it and dragged it a mile to the truck and started celebrating. About three hours later one of the other guys we were hunting with came walking out of the woods with it. I am covinced...

    What kind of animal is this?

    At 62 I would apply the SSS method and move on. If your not into that then I might call animal control or the game warden. Someone probably figured out it was more trouble than a house cat to keep around and dumped it off to be shed of it.

    All wisdom for a first hunt

    Just go and have a good time. Use what common sense and skills you already have. Build from there. Good luck.

    Trading rifles etiquette or general process

    This isnt the answer your looking for but frankly I would sell my gun and then go buy my next one I wanted from ether someone I know or my local gun store. Skip all the risk and inspections from people you probably dont know.

    Reports of stolen hunt gear

    As we turn more into a third world country everything not locked up and out of sight will be fair game for the taking.

    Your brain on microplastics?

    Same here other than at school I was raised on well water. Our small town did not put flouride in the city water. I was in my late 30s before I ever had a small cavity. A few years ago at 60 I had a bad molar removed. Other than that no tooth issues. Some kids had bad teeth but so did their...

    Rant - What happened to respect for other hunters???

    This. I been hunting for 45 years and rude and inconsiderate behavior has always been present. Not a new thing. Even on our private whitetail lease we have an issue or two a year with rudeness. Not as bad as public but issue none the less. Much easier to deal with them on private if there is a...

    What to buy

    Ever since I thought of giving one up I am close to a panic attack.

    What to buy

    My two primary hunting rifles are a 270win and a 7mm08. Thank God they are in two different packages or I would have a tough time deciding which one to use that day. They both go on my whitetail hunts. If I had to toss one and only use the other I would probably keep the 270.
