Yep. Scammers hunt for deals, Russian trolls hunt for political posts to stir $h*t to divide and inflame.

There is sport in smoking them out.

I have no idea how this thread grew 4 pages overnight so here’s a photo of the prime rib we ate last night.

Preheated oven to 505. Salt/pepper the outside of the roast. Let the 6.5# roast cook 35 minutes (~5 min/lb) then cut the oven off for two hours.

It looked like this:




It was pretty tasty:

Spot on back in the day it was pure woodsmanship: read sign, sit all day, earn every buck the hard way. Tough as hell, but built character.

Now with trail cams, forums, YouTube breakdowns? Game changer new hunters learn in a season what took us years. More deer hit the ground ethically, less wounding, and the knowledge sharing keeps the tradition alive.

Life's good old school grit plus modern tools mean better hunters all around. Still gotta put in the work though. Respect to the roots!

• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 Tbsp tomato paste
• 1 (14–15 oz) can crushed tomatoes
• 1 (14–15 oz) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
• 2 cups beef broth (or venison stock, if you have it)
• 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp cocoa powder (optional, for richness)
• 1 tsp brown sugar or maple syrup (optional — balances acidity)

---

Instructions​

1. Brown the venison
   
   • Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high.
   • Add oil, then venison. Season with salt and pepper.
   • Cook 6–8 minutes, breaking into pieces (or searing diced cubes) until just browned.
     Tip: Venison is lean — don’t overcook at this stage or it can dry out.
   • Transfer to a bowl (leave a little fat in the pot).
2. Build the flavor base
   
   • Add onion and bell pepper to the pot. Cook 5–7 minutes until softened and lightly golden.
   • Stir in jalapeño and garlic; cook 1 minute until fragrant.
   • Add tomato paste and cook 2 more minutes, letting it darken slightly.
3. Spice it up
   
   • Stir in chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, coriander, and cayenne.
   • Toast the spices 30–45 seconds.
4. Simmer
   
   • Return venison to the pot.
   • Add crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, broth, Worcestershire, cocoa (if using), sugar/maple, and bay leaf.
   • Bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to low.
   • Cover partially and cook 60–90 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thick and flavorful. Add splashes of broth if it gets too thick.
5. Add beans & finish
   
   • Stir in beans for the last 15–20 minutes (skip if you prefer no beans).
   • Remove bay leaf. Add lime juice. Taste and adjust salt, pepper, and heat.
6. Serve
   
   • Ladle into bowls and top as you like. Even better the next day.

Who gone?

Member named Quietking. Scammer. He was saying things like "kindly pm me" and in one post literally asked if blending into the surroundings while hunting was good. Guess one of the other mods nuked him before we could circle the wagons.

Iam kinda dumb and allmost old, where did the hot dog thing come from and how does it work? I hate trolls and they have done way more damage to the world than most people realize. No one thinks a hot dogs a sandwich right? Is the computer confused by that? lol

Do we have to harvest the deer with a crossbow? Or do we change the recipe name based on weapon used?

Beans means shot with a regular bow
No Beans means crossbow.

Has nothing to do with actual beans.

For the full rich meaty taste a crossbow is advised.

This should end the debate.
