    What's on the smoker today?

    Saturday was cold smoking day here. 8 pounds of week long brined pork belly hit the Treager for 3 hours of cold smoke from the Smoke Daddy. I vacuum packaged it up and put it in the freezer. We now have 15 pounds of it to last for a while. I may have to grab another belly before meat prices...

    Hunting gear that punches BELOW its price point

    Cabelas "buck saw" imitation. Lost my buck saw one year hiking back in the dark and tried to retrace my steps and couldn't find it. The cabelas brand would bind up continuously even on smaller limbs. Upon measuring the blade imagine my surprise when spine and middle of blade body were...

    Bad thing?

    Absolutely! Here is our then 10 year old with a Win Model 70 in .243 that I took a stock, stripped it shortened it, and stained pink for her and her sisters. I know some adults that she could outshoot any day of week. I will never forget this day. She squeezed the trigger, and as the doe...

    Snakes in Tents?

    Oh man. I hunted unit 9 a few years ago during the late muzzy hunt for elk. We backpacked in by Black Mesa. My partner ( NM Game and Fish officer) kept teasing me about the floorless hot tent we were running. I had nightmares leading up to that trip. Too cold for snakes then. But still it...

    Got my pack

    One thing to do is load it up with some weight and try it out with the tags on. Just to be sure it feels good. I run an old NICE framed Crew Cab, fits me like a glove. I bought a new MR Marshall two falls ago with the Guide LIght frame. Went through the fitting process ( same as the Crew...

    Rifle Build on a pre-64 model 70 action

    Yeah Pre64win.com is a good outfit. Justin is very knowledgeable. I am working on a knife for him made out of ... dare I say it... cut up pre64 barrels. It hurts me to say that. And when I fired up the bandsaw and started cutting them up brought a tear to my eye. I love pre 64s's and own...

    27 bucks, 223 charges filed, 2 Sheriff's Deputies, one EMS chief, and friends...

    I have spent 100's of nights/days hunting and fishing with Officers, Agents, and Game and Fish officers. All 100% stand up by the law guys. Hardest hunters I have ever tried to catch up to above tree line, and the most underpaid for what they are protecting.

    traeger type grills cheap versions

    Hank I have mixed feelings on all those extras ( wifi, temp probes, etc..) on the newer grills. I read alot regarding all manufacturers and short life span of certain electrical components. I wonder if the heat cycles, along with possibly under powered circuitry leading to the short life...

    Why might a non-firearm be carried during gun seasons?

    I don't question it. I hunt in an unincorporated portion of our county where firearms are perfectly legal. The property line comes up against a subdivision ( where I live) and I hunt within 100 yards of that property line. I really don't want to fire a rifle, even though 100% legal, and scare...

    Wall tent on trailer?

    I have always wanted to turn one of these into a mountain ready mobile camp. High clearance, the structure is almost completely there except maybe add some pitch to the roof, hang heavy canvas or plywood for sides/roof. Add a wood stove and a cot, and a door.

    Hunting Gear Thats Punches Above its Pricepoint

    Sh*t our wives do...

    You know for all the crap I give my wife for leaving the trucks on empty, pulling weeds in the flower beds and leaving them in piles for me to grab, or always calling me 2 minutes after leaving the grocery store to tell me to grab something else she forgot to tell me..... I wouldn't change a...
