    7mm-08 for elk with 140gr Accubonds

    For anyone wondering if 7mm-08 shooting 140gt accubonds can take down a elk. It can! My buddy knocked off the scope on his 30/06 right before his cow elk hunt so he asked if he could use my 7mm-08. I’ve taken elk with it, but I used 160gr accubonds but my gun was sighted in with 140gr...

    My Nevada 2020-2021 trapping Journal Update 12/6

    They are soft but really thin skinned. They don’t use them for garments. They are used as a novelty item so the price stays pretty consistent at $15 a piece. Sometimes a taxidermist will pay you $50 for one.

    My Nevada 2020-2021 trapping Journal Update 12/6

    Pulled our one week coyote line and caught coyote number 2. Had a couple sets with a coyote trap within an inch of the pan. Most likely missed because of the trap wobbling. Also missed a couple kit fox, and one grey fox. The grey fox would have been released because the season doesn’t start...

    My Nevada 2020-2021 trapping Journal Update 12/6

    Time to start this years Journal. It’s a little earlier for me to start, but I had a nephew come to town the beginning of the week and he has always wanted to check traps so I took my boys out on Saturday to make a dozen coyote sets so we would have something to check with my nephew. We lucked...

    Nevada Antelope Down

    Filled my antelope tag on day one. I was planning on dragging it out so I could enjoy it, but helping my dad chase deer in the high country was way too tempting. I was planning on leaving in the morning but after not being able to sleep, i started the 4 hour drive at 1am. Got to a glassing...

    2 hour Nevada Archery Antelope

    My dad had the stars align today. This year he drew a cow archery tag, and an archery deer tag in the same unit (also the same unit as my rifle antelope tag). He also got an archery antelope tag in an adjoining unit. He’s pretty young for a guy who just turned 60 and is obsessed with wake...

    Bad news for Beau

    The good things the boss man says about Beau is an understatement. That guy never put himself first. Here’s a recent example that I hope he doesn’t mind me sharing. Haha even if he did mind I would still share it haha. A couple weeks ago we were texting about when our next hunt together...

    New Hunting/Trapping Rig for FREE

    So I’ve been wanting a Polaris Ranger for trapping and hunting for awhile now, but the Family CFO (my wife) has said they are to much. If there’s a will, there’s a way. So I convinced her to let me get a dirt bike. Found a good deal and bought one. Did I play with it, nope. I cleaned it up...

    Elk in Vegas?

    Not many tanks in this range. All the big game tanks are in sheep country and there’s not even many of those since the range doesn’t hold a very large sheep herd by Nevada standards. That range is full of marked and unmarked springs. In the lower country, they get there water from the bulb of...

    Elk in Vegas?

    You can still see them eating out of gardens and trash can in cold creek. Those are pretty much tame elk, but the range itself is full of elk. It was one of the first places elk were reintroduced in Nevada. The got elk from Yellowstone and put them on the pilot peak mountain range, then the...

    Elk in Vegas?

    This is around 9000’. The highest peak in that range is almost 12,000’. Most people don’t realize that’s Vegas is surrounded by mountains. We even have a ski resort.

    Elk in Vegas?

    The answer is yes. These two bull could see the City lights! Crazy the diverse of habitat elk can live in.

    Back strap Biltong

    thats a lot of Biltong right there! Just put another batch in the box this morning.

    Back strap Biltong

    it’s the same with Biltong. Cut it cross grain and it’s more tender. I do the same with all cuts. I just don’t care to use us backstrap for my everyday cooking so it’s what I use for jerky. I prefer to eat the other cuts over backstrap. That’s my personal opinion and works great for my...

    Back strap Biltong

    I’ll say the same thing I said before. It’s because it’s tender and I use all my other cuts for other recipes. It’s what I had leftover in my freezer so I used it. I’m not going to break down a perfectly good front shoulder to make Biltong or Jerky. First of all it would be very tough. I...

    Back strap Biltong

    Cant really say what the beat cut of meat is because everyone has there own likes. People claim backstrap as the best because it’s the easiest to cook. Backstrap is my favorite cut to use for dried meat because it’s tender. I have lots of uses for the other cuts. The front shoulder has...

    Back strap Biltong

    I lived in Zimbabwe for a couple years and was introduced to this thing called Biltong. A lot of people say it’s African Jerky but there is actually a pretty big difference between the two. Where jerky is cured with salts, Biltong is cured with vinegar. And where jerky is thinly sliced then...

    Cougar or Coyote?

    Cougar or Coyote?

    He was saying draw an X for the coyote track (above diagram). The cat paw does make an H. It’s the easiest thing to recognize in a feline and canine track. Doesn’t matter if it’s snow, mud, sand, or dirt, it will be what stands out the most.
