    224 Valkyrie, and 22GT

    I also have been using the 60gr V-Max for the past three years or so. Most go right down and also have a large exit wound. This is for the Valkyrie, I have no experience with the 22gt.. I will attach some pics from these bullets on coyotes that were 100-300yds or so.

    Tips and tactics for targeting high desert yotes

    I should follow up with, I have found massive chunks of land in WA, OR, Wyoming and Montana that look amazing, look like other area that produce, have some sign but just don’t hold many coyotes for some reason. Or, the population is low when I was there. I judge that based on locating howl...

    Tips and tactics for targeting high desert yotes

    There probably is a way to pattern them but I have never figured that out. The chunks of public land I hunt range from 10k to 60k acres, massive areas to say the least. In those spots I have done a locating (group howling) to find where they are hanging out during the day. Just prior to first...

    Making sausage from frozen ground meat

    I set my burger packs (round 2lb tubes) out on the counter for a couple hours to let them slightly thaw. When they are still mostly frozen but softer, I slice 1/2” discs off them on a cutting board. Those discs are easily broken up into smaller pieces that I toss into a bowl to mix. The outer...

    Rucking Gear Question

    Like other posts, I use an older Osprey pack for rucking/pre season workouts. I have access to weighted vests at work and they are not the same as a pack, they distribute the weight front and back and it does not translate the same as a pack with a hip belt. I do have a ruck pack/plate carrier...

    Making sausage from frozen ground meat

    I do exactly what your OP states every year. When processing our game animals I don’t have time to do our different sausages. I wait until after all seasons are over then do it. If I use already ground burger (1x course, then 1 more fine) I use the same process you outlined. Run the pork (I use...

    Tips and tactics for targeting high desert yotes

    I hunt Eastern Washington heavily for coyotes. Its not high desert, but the tactics for the most part will remain the same. These comments are all based on daytime hunting, I do hunt at night but don’t enjoy it as much. - I use sounds based on time of season (for the most part). This time of...

    Return of the a Achilles tendinitis

    My brother just went through 6 months of what you are describing. I had been telling him about the carnivore diet for over a year and he said it wasn’t for him. In September, after going through PT for months, seeing a foot specialist who made custom orthotics and trying every stretching regimen...

    Supplements for Inflammation

    Carnivore as others have mentioned. I’m almost 50 with two ruptured discs in my back and multiple shoulder surgeries from a work accident. Started carnivore over a year ago and have absolutely zero joint pain now. Happened quickly too. I used to try all sorts of supplements, oils and a bunch of...

    Carnivore Diet

    Agree with an electrolyte mix such as LMNT. Also make sure you are consuming enough fat, my weight loss was similar to your story but I never counted calories. I just rode the wave and ate until I felt satisfied or the food stopped tasting good. At the 7-8 month mark the weight started coming...

    Wall tents

    Used several brands over the years and now have a Bravo 16x32 super grade tent. Best, most well constructed tent I have ever owned. Most of this tents use is in the Cascades in very wet (rain/heavy wet snow) which is why I went with this company. His websites details the why, they are worth a...

    How often do you find unrecovered animals?

    Between elk and deer season, one a year or so. This buck was found right before rifle in a 3pt min area. I would guess it was from muzzleloader season. Too bad, it was 30yds or so off a well used trail

    22ARC or 6ARC for coyotes under 500 yards?

    22 for the simple fact of less recoil which allows you to watch your impact. Watching my shot hit has made me a much better shooter. The 6’s do not recoil much at all, especially when suppressed but less is better in my opinion. There will be no killing difference between the two as they are...

    One more Crispi question...

    My son and I have the Lapponia’s, Nevada’s and Briksdal’s and they are all the same in my opinion for width/fit. My son bought the Ativa mid’s last spring and doesn’t wear them as they are too narrow. Different type of boot/shoe though.

    Blonde Black Bear

    Washington is the same, haven’t seen one on the west side that I can remember, but on the eastside they are not that uncommon.

    Do you take a chain saw with you

    Like most other posts I always have a chainsaw when traveling in the mountains. Transitioned to a Dewalt 20v five years ago. I bring two extra batteries, two spare 16” chains, and a charger I can run off my trucks inverter. The bar comes off in seconds with no tools and the whole thing fits in a...

    Weston 2300 Vacuum Power?

    I have one and it has more vacuum power than a Foodsaver model I used to own. I wouldn't say its a ton more, but it will crush softer foods. I’ve had the 2300 for about six years and just two weeks ago the vacuuming power went way down. I replaced the seals for the first time ($25 dollars on...

    2024 OFFICIAL ELK MEAT POLE

    Love it, I have a Sako .270 Win and it has been my go to elk rifle for the past 8 years. Been heckled by others for using that cartridge, but I have put a lot of elk down with it…..never at 630yds though, thats impressive!
