    Most accurate best value 6.5 Creedmoor

    I bought the Magpul Hunter option. 3 rounds at 100 yards to zero it. Next 5 shots were on target at 200, 300, 500, 700, and 850. I’m a solid believer in the Ruger platform.

    Harvest Right freeze driers? Worthy purchase?

    Fat goes rancid when exposed to oxygen. It’s just a fact. Ice cream has stabilizers, and will be delicious short term, but the stuff that’s commercially freeze dried has a lot of stabilizers - and more sugar than fat. Meat is really hard to freeze dry long term. That’s why most MREs and...

    Iron Will K3 Ultralight Boning Knife

    No, but I’m ok with that for 90% of the work I do in the field.

    Iron will knife, sharp top or no?

    If I could get Bradford to sharpen half of the false edge on the top of a Magnacut Guardian 4 carbon fiber, I’d have the perfect knife.

    Black tail deer caliber for 2024

    Every one I’ve killed was with a .357. Either the lever gun or 6” wheel gun. They’re harder to sneak up on than they are to kill.

    Best price on Harvest Right freeze dryer

    I have a premium pump with a large unit. Once I replaced the clear hose with the right one ($200) my dry times dropped by almost half. Also replaced the cheap ball valve on the drain once it corroded. Also did the fix to stop the pump from fogging up the room. That was friggin' annoying. Still...

    They (HR) cut corners. Felix explains. At a minimum you’ll likely need a new vacuum hose.

    At 5-10 deer a year between my wife and I, we used to freeze a LOT of venison. Much of it ended up in venison stew, venison chili, and of course venison meatballs for spaghetti dishes. That stuff eats freezer space. Now we have cases of mylar bags on the shelf, and eat those dishes a lot more...

    Do you skip your underwear while hunting?

    Do skid marks become a problem for you? They’re hard to buff out of merino leggings. Try flushable panty liners. Just stick one in the long johns before you pull them on. If it’s a hot, sweaty day, or you get too excited and dribble a little thinking about that big monster buck, peel it off...

    10mm pistol hunting

    I've taken several boars, a whitetail doe, and a coyote with my Super Jagare. Most shots within 30-40 yards, but have hit vitals at 100. It's a killer, for sure. The Buffalo Bore full power loads hit like a hammer and waaaaay out-penetrate the .45. Nice to move hands free with the chest holster...
