    Cow Elk Hunt WY-31

    Good luck!! Getting to be a good amount of spikes in those desert elk herds, so be sure to scan the headgear. Have fun!

    Nebr Muzzleloader Loper

    Finally notched my muzzleloader antelope tag this last Saturday. I had put in a lot of days and miles…and I had missed a REALLY BIG one early in the season, only to find out later that my gun was off from getting dropped earlier in the day. 13 clicks of adjustment later, and lots of miles behind...

    Coastal ducks - taste

    I hunted sea ducks for 4 days with an outfitter in NW Washington, and he had them all made into pepperoni sticks. These birds were mostly scoters, as the "one" halrequin you are allowed most people take as a trophy. We at the sticks every day and even took some home on the plane since they were...

    Weapon for mnt lion hunt?

    They all work. I packed a crossbow through snowy trees for several days and that sucked! Agree that the chase is where it is at. I ended up killin with handgun since just wasn't an ethical bow shot. Think more about packability and being in shape for the chase. While handgun worked, I have...

    How long do I have? Head in garage!

    You should be smelling it by now, hide will keep it contained a bit. But time is a ticking. And maggots be starting. All in your tolerance for "how much smell" On one of my last elk, a guy in town was doing them decent and fairly cheap, so I took it to his house 3-4 days after I killed...

    Cow Elk Hunt WY-31

    Follow the above advice on canyons off of little mountain. 30, 31, 32 and the units north of there are very open units with limited bull tags. Glass some and you should be fine on finding cows and might get to see some whopper bulls that hang out in there. Share how it goes.

    Game Bags?

    Only use bags for the cape on lopes to contain hair and let it cool. For lopers in WY, I gutless and toss on a tarp and then either into cooler as quarters or debone and straight into Ziplocks, depending on hunt duration, cooler space, etc.

    Alaska for the paranoid

    I've flown in Beavers, Otters, Piper Cubs and super cubs, float planes, and tundra tires...and even a helicopter in northern Quebec. All were a rush and an experience for sure, but never did I feel unsafe. On hunts in the lower 48, I've rolled an ATV a few thousand feet down a mountain, and...

    What's on the smoker today?

    Came out awesome. Been using this polish recipe for years with all game meats, and the lion meat was fine - just the same as pork loin.

    Bird Retrieval

    Agree on above. Work on recall first without bird. Then work on retrieve...and you can do a light force fetch. You just need a table or some place to work (I used a top of a doghouse with a short lead tied to the kennel), and a dog that is eager for bumpers or something fun to retrieve, and...

    Mountain Lion the other other white meat

    Fully agree. It is great stuff! Hauled mine out whole and kept it all. Was along on a few other hunts where cats were tubed and left behind...had I only know, I wouldve gladly packed them out. I have a bone in rear quarter that I am going to try to smoke whole and then wrap in foil and see...

    Wyoming Elk Area 7 -- Difficult access? Confused...

    The big groups of cows do move around in area 7 for sure, and depending on dates, be looking at the HMAs you an apply for when they open up. And keep in mind that some of the HMAs are limited so do some research. Biologists there are definitely willing to help with cow harvest and will give...

    Black Hills Natl Forest South Dakota PUBLIC LAND Merriams. Need some help :)

    The southern hills, Custer area, with plenty of NF west of town should be good for you. likely better in May as flocks break up from winter "residences " and head more up in hills.

    Bugling Elk in Lower Elevation September

    Agree with all above - have hunted in the lower elevations pinon canyon country east of Trinindad, CO, and they were bugling all September...better on cooler days, evenings, mornings as usual. Have also hunted some in lower elevations that are close to a lot of human activity, and they are...

    Questions before booking a Caribou hunt

    It has been awhile since I hunted out of Kotz (maybe 10-12 years). Brad Saalsa was a great transported to deal with. I went one of the last years that non-res could shoot two caribou. Back then, meat was the issue with nowhere to freeze in Kotz. If you donated, Northern Air Cargo would take...

    Kansas turkey help

    East of Salina you may not find Rios...you will find turkeys, but wouldn't necessarily count on them being Rios...hybrids and easterns in a lot of that country.

    Shelter-in-place cooking

    First foray at Tri tip the other day - smoked and then reverse seared. amazing. To quote my 10-yr old - "it's like the best steak and brisket put together."

    A (Probably/Likely) Really Dumb Question

    as above posters have said, it can be done in a float tube, but only if you have to....conditions must be right to make that needed and work well. But as waterfowlers, we like to acquire gear and try to outsmart them! We really like gear...

    Smoked Mountain Lion Shoulder

    Eagerly awaiting other replies to this one as well. My lion meat has tasted awesome - backstraps were as good as any pork loin. And front shoulders went into sausage. I have the two rears 1/4s frozen whole and am planning something similar. My thought was to brine first, then standard pork...
