    Elk Mushroom and Swiss Sheboygan Brats

    Ever since I gave into the positive thoughts and bought a vertical stuffer, I’ve been looking forward to trying my hand at a natural cased fresh sausage. I have a lot of ground elk and I had some nice fatty pork in the freezer. After finally ordering some natural casings, I decided it was...

    Appreciation for schmalts at Predator Optics

    Hey all, just wanted to share my really positive experience working with schmalts (aka Pat aka Predator Optics). I’ve read the positive reviews and since I was in the market for a scope, I reached out. His response was near immediate and provided me pricing on four models. I landed on the...

    Field to Table - A Turkey Tale

    Fall 2023 was a dream season, but spring of 2023 was rough. I went 0-3 on turkeys in three states. I set out with a dream to make 2024 start out great as I bought Indiana and Tennessee tags (again). Unfortunately (sort of), I was out of the country on a family vacation during the Indiana...

    Indiana Buck for the Hat Trick

    2023 for whatever reason played out to be potentially my most exciting and memorable hunting season. However, despite closing strong, it started out with a struggle. Around February, I got bit with the turkey bug worse than ever. I drove my household nuts working calls and getting ready. My...

    2023 Colorado Elk and Deer

    HT Community, I have been meaning to get this posted, but life has been getting in the way. I also originally wanted to do this as semi-live, but limited reception and exhaustion made me rethink that plan. I also didn't know exactly where to post this as it involves road tripping, elk hunting...

    Powder and Bullets

    Hey all - just returned from CO muzzy and have a few thoughts. BH209 takes a little tinkering to get dialed, but it really is awesome. I was drenched by unrelenting rain for 5 of my 7 days. Despite this my ML went boom every time I pulled the trigger and with no cleaning whatsoever. Get a...

    Soft Topper?

    Anyone have any experience with the soft cab-height toppers/caps? There are a few options out there between Bestop, Softopper, Outlander, Fas-top? I only need one for about 1-3 weeks a year. I don’t like/want a hard top on my truck and don’t have a good storage space for one either. A soft...

    Alternative Turk

    I’ve cooked and eaten a lot of turkey over the years. My go to has always been brined and smoked breast meat and good intentions on the legs. This year I found myself with 6 birds in the freezer (long story) and I finally had a chunk of time to defrost and do something with them. I ended up on...

    WTB Lightweight 44mag or Trade 6.5 Grendel For 44mag

    Hey All, looking for a lightweight 44mag. Crazy hard to find right now. Would consider trading custom 6.5 Grendel AR-15. It’s a higher end build setup for hunting. Would be probably $1250-1500 to replicate. Also would consider trading HK VP9 pistol. Probably a long shot, but never hurts...

    Indiana Buck

    I bacd been meaning to post this for awhile. With Wyoming point creep screwing up my western plans this year, I decided to focus on the Indiana season more than usual. Between work and family obligations, I slated 9 days to hunt. I decided it was a mature (3+ yo) buck year or bust and was...

    3-15 vs 4-20

    Hello All, I’d love to get some feedback from the group here. I currently have a 3-15x50 FFP scope on my 300WM. Notice I left the brand name off the thread to avoid as many “get a Leupold” or “Vortex has been good to me” posts as possible. I like to shoot and practice at long ranges. And yes...

    Buffalo Meatballs

    Not buffalo as in tatonka, but as in wings. Always looking for new uses for elk meat that are crowd friendly, I stumbled on Hank Shane’s buffalo meatball recipe. Below is my take on it. In short it was awesome. I made a bunch of meatballs and only sauced enough for a meal. The rest of the...

    Late Night Kitties

    My wife and I finished building our dream house and the best subcontractor we worked with through the entire process was our landscaper. As a thank you for his amazing work, I wanted to take him catfishing for several reasons including primarily the fact that we could fit it in on a weeknight...

    To Have Love and Lost...

    Hello All, I decided that this is the best place to share my situation. Please note, I realize that there are much worse things in the world than my story. Early 2020, COVID shuts the world down. Despite uncertainty, my hunting buddy and I put in for the CO draw and end up drawing a...

    Best Wild Game You Have Ever Made

    Hey all, I made a wild game dish for the families on Mother's Day and it turned out to be the best wild game dish I ever made. It got me thinking that it would make a great thread on HuntTalk. So what's the best wild game dish you've ever made? Pics and story would be great. Back to my dish...

    Burris Speedbead Experience

    Anyone on here have experience with a Burris Speedbead setup? It's the one that mounts between the stock and receiver to keep the optic as low as possible and without mounting on the receiver. I have a Benelli SBEII that is my one shotgun "to rule the world" and I prefer to use it for...

    Meopta Binos - Great Customer Service

    I just wanted to take a moment to share a great customer service story. It is easy to take time to complain when things don't go great, but for some reason harder to post when things do - so I'm trying to break that pattern. I posted on here earlier that I had a set of Meostar B1 10x42 binos...

    Well, GM Won Me Back

    Well, after a long hiatus, I went back to GM. I grew up a Chevy guy. My first car was a 1971 Nova SS. For reasons unknown, I made a switch to Ford about 10 years ago and bought an Explorer, then a 2013 F-150 SCREW Ecoboost, then a 2017 SCREW 5.0. I always liked the idea of supporting Ford as...

    Brisket Chili

    Well I’ve long been searching for THE chili recipe. I might have found it. This bowl would likely get the Randy seal of approval. It has a nice heat, but not enough to interrupt a New Mexico elk hunt. The recipe was inspired by the Meat Church brisket chili recipe. I did a big batch of bbq...

    Meopta Meostar B1 10x42 Collimation Issues

    Hey all, I need some advice. I have a pair of the Meostar B1 HD binos made my Meopta for Cabelas. They are my first higher end binos. At first I loved them, but this season they had issues with collimation and I was essentially left seeing double and unable to get them focused. I take them...
