What's on the smoker today?
Not a lot of experience but your plan sounds good. I would take extra time trimming the filets and make sure you get any fat and dark meat off. I also like to put my catfish filets in a big bowl and run them under cold tap water for 20-30min. I’m amazed how much that flushes off of them and...- shannerdrake

What's on the smoker today?
The other day during a freezer diving expedition, I found a couple of wild turkey leg quarts I had forgotten about. With season around the corner, I’ve been thinking about birds a lot, so I was excited to eat some. Trying something new. Brined it for a day. Dry rub and smoked for 2.5 hours...- shannerdrake

Office pants
Greg Norman pants from Costco. $21 and are my all around favorite. Far dressier than blue jeans and more comfortable. I wear them regularly with suit jackets and blazers, but wear them on vacation, around town, and even once on a hike (although I wouldn’t do that much if there is any chance of...- shannerdrake

Big Bullets for Big Animals?
I grew up in a shotgun/muzzleloader (no centerfire rifle) state for deer. My first 20 animals were all with 300+gr 50cal or 1oz slugs. I have never been able to understand why, but big slower slugs seem to really kill.- shannerdrake

Who here shoots a peep sight?
I’ve done it on two rifles. One needed a single layer of beer can shim. One needed two layers. Both were fine with supplied Williams screws. I believe the sights came with a couple lengths of screws so I was able to use the longest one that would work. Once you get it close, pull the sight...- shannerdrake

Who here shoots a peep sight?
As BrentD pointed out, with a muzzleloader I think the bigger aperture and most visible front sight are advantageous. I run out of light and the ability to see and place the front sight before I run out of accuracy. Small apertures and front sights are good for punching small groups in paper...- shannerdrake
