My BIL brought up the idea of raising a couple hogs as a way to fill a freezer. We have zero experience raising livestock but with both of us being retired, what else do we have to do.
We (I) have identified the breed of hog that we want to raise and have talked to a breeder about getting a...
I have been on the hunt for an RCBS press for the past couple months. I think I want a Rock Chucker but see several other single stage presses out there. For loading one caliber (.270) does the press type matter? Will a Rebel or Partner press from RCBS do everything I need to do?
Looking at reloading for the first time and I see a lot of recommendations to get a reloading manual. What is in a reloading manual that is so important other than specs on a specific cartridge (powder and bullet combinations, cartridge overall length etc.)? I have seen some say that the...
I suffer from chronic cluster headaches which is said to be the worst pain known to man. The condition is said to affect 1 in 1000 mostly men. I have wondered if when you look at a football stadium packed to the gills, how many people in that crowd have been diagnosed? Given the size of the...
As a non-resident I used to be able to walk into the Cabela's in Post Falls ID in November and buy a tag on my way to deer camp. Started buying tags in February just because I knew I would be going again in November.
I understand the theory behind limits placed on Non-resident tags and to...
Posted in Fireside but may get some traction here. I have a box of a couple hundred rounds of what looks like 5.56 military brass. Is it worth anything? anybody want it? Box weighs at least 10 pounds.
Would love to have a shop/barn to store toys (travel trailer, boat etc) but cannot swallow the entire cost in one go. Last estimate I got a couple years ago was north of $100 grand for a 40x60 red iron building. The estimate was bare ground to turn key if that makes a difference. The building...
Big shout out to Avid Armor for the amazing chamber vacuum USV20 Ultra (avidarmor.com)! I used a very expensive chamber vacuum that my cousin has in Alaska and was impressed by the quality of the seal. I did a lot of research before buying the Avid Armor and am very happy with the results. No...
Shot a small mule deer in Nevada and finally got around to processing it this weekend. Made Brats from a High Mountain kit but added 1 small white onion, 1 green pepper, minced garlic and 3 cups of chopped green onion to the mix. Went for a near 50/50 mix on venison to pork butt and dropped in...
Does anyone make their own deli style turkey breast lunch meat at home?
I have been thinking of making the heavily processed style of lunch meat that you see in a grocery store deli. I know that manufactured turkey is "massaged" and tumbled to extract proteins before being pressed or...
Red meat Friday (instead of Black Friday) went down in the kitchen at my house this year with 14 pounds of "Old fashion bologna" and 27 pounds of brats completed. I cheated and used Hi Mountain's cracked pepper and garlic summer sausage kit for the bologna which had the recipe for old fashion...
My wife and I have long planned on leaving this state and moving East. Missouri seems like it has made the short list based on taxes and pricing. It will be a few more years as her parents are here and we cannot leave them.
So the question for those of you who have done something like this...
I posted last week about needing a GPS for hunting with my 83 year old Father in Law. Since then he has started radiation treatments for prostate cancer and the decision has been made that he will not be able to go on the planned hunt. Kudo's for the nameless state that will refund his tag and...
Not sure if this fits here but will ask anyway.
Will be hunting with my 83 year old FIL in Nevada next month. He will most likely be bombing around in my Polaris RZR and I am concerned that he may get lost of break down miles from camp. Looking for a GPS tracker that I can put on the UTV that...
