    Stinky deer head

    I’ve heard dryer sheets in campers over the winter months keep mice out. Not sure if that would work? Maybe wrapping the antlers in foil would prevent them from chewing? I will try it once I can dig in the ground.

    Beware of future birthdays

    Thanks guys! All my kids so far love to hunt and fish and I’m very blessed with that. The funnest/best hunts are by far with them. From the hunt thru the entire butchering process they are there loving it and learning it and I absolutely wouldn’t have it any other way

    Beware of future birthdays

    Currently sitting at the hospital with my pregnant wife, waiting to see if our 5th kid wants today to be her day. I thought I would also mention something about the timing for those of you thinking of kids. Just think before you act is all I’m saying. February is a crucial month to practice...

    Bear opportunity?

    Good to know. I’ve only used jsp out of it and that was my plan until others swore by the hardcast. They told me I wanted a deep penetrating round. And the meplat on it would be just as traumatic. Again I have no experience with that specific bullet but if the regs don’t allow it, its void...

    Fat / Silver Skin / Connective Tissue

    I’m not near as picky as I used to be. It seems that if the meat is cold or even some ice crystals in it, it will grind just fine. And like others have said I don’t notice any bad taste. I have friend that gives me hog fat from some European pigs he raises that are known for thier fat and that...

    Bear opportunity?

    Also once a bear is shot at a bait does it scare off other bears? Do new bears take up the old bears residence? I’ve never hunted over bait for anything so Not 100% sure what to expect.

    Bear opportunity?

    I’m definitely in it for the meat but would love to shoot something bigger. I’ve never bear hunted and had just a small bit of bear meat and thought it was good. The last 2 years I’ve tried hunting elk in colo and come up empty, it’d be nice to go out of state and bring something home lol.

    Bear opportunity?

    I asked the owner what size is the norm and he said 175-225lbs. Does that sound right with your guys experiences? I will be happy with anything. I was thinking of taking a 44 rifle with hardcast 305 gr. I just need a comfortable cushion now.
