    Milk Jug Ice...add salt

    Bucks Ducks - thanks. You have a good system. I have not measured but agree that the jugs will probably last longer than block or cube ice. The downside is that the food is probably slightly warmer (dry, but warmer) than with block ice. Sounds like a OK tradeoff. I plan on using the salt...

    Milk Jug Ice...add salt

    How much salt to add to the water - put 2 lbs of salt in the jug then fill the jug with water. The saltwater should stay at -6 degree the whole time it is melting, which will allow you to keep frozen food actually frozen. As noted above, you need to have enough salt/ice that it does not all...

    Milk Jug Ice...add salt

    Here are some numbers on the subject (from a retired chemical engineer). The basics: Ice keeps stuff cold because it absorbs the heat needed to melt it (latent heat) at a low temperature. Pure water freezes at 32 deg F. No surprises here. 23% salt in water will lower the melting point to...

    Hunt Talk Bear Hunt Video

    Thank you and congratulations to the Hunt Talk Bear Hunt crew. An excellent production - fun to watch and a great message. https://randynewberg.vhx.tv/videos/ft-0410-hunttalk-bear-web-revised And I, too, am a public land owner.

    Cold weather fire kit?

    As MTTW just noted, tar paper works good too. I use it to light the wood stove. I keep Vaseline soaked cotton balls in a plastic match-safe. REI has the storm proof matches.

    Outdoor Life on Zinke

    Thank you, Ben. As you noted, we could have done a whole lot worse. Politics is the art of compromise. As I see it, our job is to convince Zinke and his boss that we helped get them where they are, and that we are the key to their staying that way. Keep those cards and letters coming. To...

    wyoming elk cow tags

    Look at the drawing reports on the WYGFD Web site for tag availability. I also check the harvest report for elk. It has a breakdown for each unit and type of tag. Good luck.

    Ruger American Predator, or Savage?

    It looks like the rifle manufacturers have learned a lot about making low cost, accurate rifles in the last 30 years. They are not as good-looking as the older ones, but they seem to shoot really well. I may have to get one myself.

    The NRA and Public Lands

    My 2 cents worth: The NRA is first of all an organization (bureaucracy if you like) and will act like one. This will also go for the federal government, the RMEF, and even BHA. For them to have a position means that the management has blessed or condoned it, and that they plan to take some...

    Kansas Fort Riley Cow Elk Rifle

    Good luck. I am interested to see what the Flint Hills holds.

    Wyoming 35-1 Elk

    I have also been looking at the Bighorns. For what its worth, here is my take on points - I collect points in CO and WY. I am not after the glory units, but the mid-level units where the points serve to reduce the number of other hunters and hopefully increase the elk I see. I look for units...

    nonresident licenses in MT

    And for $1001, they will be pleased to talk to you. We hunted MT this year, after a long absence. We got the deer combo and had a great time at an undisclosed location (Big Fin already does a great job of publicizing the state). Everybody we talked to - resident, non-resident and official...

    Outfitting landowner cut off Bridger Access

    I generally am not surprised when I find someone is trying to screw the public. What I do object to, however, is when they expect us to help them do it. Thank you, Kat. We are very lucky to have you on our side.

    Southeast Montana - We're baaaack!

    Congratulations to Randy, Dick and Tyler (who has the film in the can). Looking forward to seeing this next year. Thank you for posting the story. Two other fans and I were part of the crowd in the Custer this year. We took smaller bucks and a couple of does. We had a great time and hope to...

    Happy Thanksgiving Everyone

    Happy Thanksgiving to all. Our family is scattered all over. Dinner this afternoon will be my wife, nephew and his girlfriend and myself. We have had much to be thankful for this year.

    Colorado Bull Story (a bunch of bull about a Bull)

    Great story, Fin. The 19 points was just the start of it. When I was pack shopping, I realized I had no interest (or ability) in carrying the loads that a Metcalf could handle. My Dragonslayer carries enough to wear this weenie out. My hat is off to you. Good luck with the liver and the...

    How Complacency Kills

    Ben - thanks for the reminder. This issue needs to stay fresh in my mind. My brother jokes about Hyperthermia, killer of the overprepared, but we try to bring the essentials each time we leave the truck.

    Hunting with Oak and Dinkshooter

    IMO Gnarly seems to describe it best. Definitely impressive.

    Southeast Montana - We're baaaack!
