    Texas White-tail Sausage

    I really enjoy Chud's recipes. He has one for the Hot gut too. He just calls it Texas-style sausage.

    Texas White-tail Sausage

    You're right about the cold smoke. I will call it a warm smoke. I like the produce bags idea for wrapping meat. Before my vac sealer, I used plastic wrap followed by freezer paper. Worked nice, but I prefer the vac sealer. cold beer n whiskey definitely helps. Thanks for the tips!

    Texas White-tail Sausage

    I had a similar thought process, but knowing that it is domestic pork vs wild I feel a little safer. Good luck with your process. I can't imagine how long 500 lbs would take. Looking forward to the pics.

    Texas White-tail Sausage

    Got to put my new processing equipment to work this winter. I found a few sausage and meat stick recipes that I wanted to try out with some venison I got during bow season. I mixed it with pork butt and some beef tallow trimmings for proper fat ratios. I choose between 75-80% lean and 20-25%...

    What is your cooler set up for elk?

    My favorite ice has been those half-gallon juice jugs. Choose whatever your favorite flavor may be. They lay flat so you can have block ice that covers more space (More meat on the ice). 5 of those fit perfectly in a Yeti 65, and obviously, work in the bigger coolers. In my opinion, 3-4 65-75...

    Tikka and Warne

    I like the Warne rings for Tikka receivers. Simple and no issues with zeros yet. I have that setup in 30-06 and 6.5. Both lefties

    All around Best Pants for daily and hunting??

    In my opinion, there isn't a single pant that can "do it all" and last forever like people are wanting. The ATGs are priced right, comfortable, and appropriate wear for business casual. They would likely hold up for several years of teaching and the occasional outdoor adventure. The Sitka...

    best budget spotting scope

    Get the Vortex Viper spotter. The 15-45x65 is probably the best for weight and clarity. The 20-60x85 is just too heavy and once you get past 45 the clarity is not great. I got the angled, but wish I went with the straight to make it easier to transition between binos and spotter. You mentioned...

    I think you're going to need more cooler space if you down an elk.

    1st Rifle Elk Colorado question

    I did my first Elk hunt in Colorado last year. 1st rifle as well. We got there 2 days early and just glassed. It takes your eyes a day or so to adjust to the terrain in my experience. We saw some deer and ventured off to see if elk were in other locations and didn't spot anything. On day 3...

    Sleeping pad suggestions?

    Nemo Tensor Alpine in long-wide. Pros: Plenty of room for me at over 6' tall and 200 lbs, great R-value, very comfortable Cons: Not the lightest - but not too heavy, loud when moving around, pricey

    Burris Fullfield

    I bought a Fullfield 4.5-14x42 back in 2014. It sits on my CZ 557 chambered in 30-06. One of my favorite budget scopes. Good price, clear glass, and holds zero. Not sure what else you need in a scope.

    Elk Tag Refund

    Sent in my application for a refund on September 15 and already got my money back for the tag. I'll be saving it for next year.

    Elk Tag Refund

    In the past couple of years, we have started doing MUTA 8s. This is one of those. OCT 13-16. 1st rifle season in CO is OCT 15-19. Let's say I left at 1500 on the 16th from Texas and drove straight through to my hunt unit. I would get there on the afternoon/evening of OCT 17. Maybe hunt that...

    Elk Tag Refund

    Colorado offers a refund if you request it 30 days prior to the season. You just don't get the license cost back.

    Elk Tag Refund

    I’m going to be just fine. Thanks for the ideas. Maybe I can make a later trip work out.

    Elk Tag Refund

    Next time I recommend not just googling and pasting the first results you get on a question. I wish everything was black and white when it comes to rules but there is definitely gray areas throughout. Not to mention all the different policies that govern almost every scenario. Thankfully, it...

    Elk Tag Refund

    Haha you ain’t lying. So many things they could do to punish individuals for missing training. Thankfully, I have never had to take any action to process somebody out.

    Elk Tag Refund

    so many changes happening this year. Multiple deployments on the horizon, new BN CMD and SGM. New company commander. I’m really the only stability piece for my troops right now. I’m sure someone could cover down and it would be fine, but I’d be concerned my whole trip. I think I’ll finish out...

    1 or 2 man tent

    Most backpacking tents come with vestibules that cover your gear. The difference between the 1 person and the 2 person is more room to do things in your tent on cold rainy/snowy nights and mornings. I think having the extra room is worth the extra weight. Another plus is the 2 person can hold...
