    Dead Chickens

    I know a lot of others have said it, but it sounds typical of a racoon kill to me. The head removal bit is a good indication of that. If you have a trail cam it may be worth putting it by your suspected point of entry so you can be sure. I had a similar problem a few several years back, it was...

    Southern Oregon Bear Hunting Mentor Needed

    I thought I might take a second to refresh this post. I did not want to go into my reasons for wanting to do a bear hunt in the first place, but since I've had no luck I figure a bit of explanation might prove useful. On December 14th 2018 I killed my first black bear, it was the worst night...

    Wild Turkey Ramen

    This is not the ramen that you grew to detest when you were too poor to eat anything else. This ramen is so rich and complex that you will find yourself craving it shortly after your finish the first bowl. I lean pretty heavily on Vietnamese and Thai flavor profiles for this ramen. The dish is...

    KUIU Packs

    I know there was a lot of response to this, but I thought I would share my experience. This year, I go Icon Pro 2300's for myself and my wife. It's the perfect day back that could be pressed into service as a bivy pack if you are used to going ultra light. Kuiu seems to have the most modular...

    A fitting end to turkey season

    Nope, but it was a good hunt nonetheless. I'm just glad she had the true turkey hunting experience. No animal has given me more laughs and frustration. I really love the things.

    A fitting end to turkey season

    “So that’s turkey hunting?!”, breathless from laughter, frustration, and fatigue, I shrugged. “Yeah, that is about it.” Moments earlier I was behind our parked car, my wife well ahead of me with good back cover, shotgun at the ready. When I called, the response of the birds we knew to be...

    Turkey Success! Last day of the season!

    The Evans Creek Unit is loaded with birds, and private access is pretty easy to get if you are not a jerk. The Applegate valley also has birds but locating them can be a bit more difficult for some reason. Grat's Mossy on getting a last day bird, I feel like those are the best kind of hunts.

    I was hoping there would be a recipe section. (Spicy Turkey Nuggets Anyone?)

    Glad to hear it. Snap a pic if you get a chance, the pic I have was horrible and I am all out of birds.

    No Guarantees in Turkey Hunting

    Thanks! I was able to tag out remarkably early for turkey this fall, but getting one in front of the wife has been a challenge. I want her to get a bird significantly more than I want my bear, so I hope we can line that up. I'll let you all know how it goes.

    No Guarantees in Turkey Hunting

    “I can’t guarantee they will be there.” I was tentatively told by the landowner. There always seems to be this hesitation and disappointment about the possibility of coming home empty handed. “That’s kind of the idea though,” has been my typical response. We had come back every time empty...

    Spot and stalk bear

    I want to get that close to a bear. Thanks for sharing and congrats.

    Bear hunting Siskiyou County, CA

    I was talking to a ranger the other day who said that the area around Manzanita Gulch and Lick Mountain has been pretty "beary" as of late. I am trying to hunt north of that in Oregon, so I have not checked it out myself.

    I was hoping there would be a recipe section. (Spicy Turkey Nuggets Anyone?)

    Fair enough. I think my wife snapped a pic on her phone. I'll try to get it from her....or try to have her shoot a turkey today.

    Eating Jacks

    I've made the recipe that Hank Shaw did on that episode (I think that is the one you are mentioning). It is one of the better soups I have had. Jacks taste good, but require a different approach to cooking. Kinda like shank vs backstrap, both great, just not for the same things.

    My First Deer Part 5 (A Grateful Hunter)

    It turned out plan C was a failed grouse hunt. I won’t go into the details of that failure, other than to say that we had a great campsite with now chance of getting birds. Baptized in fresh air, I regained a clear head about this season and its failures. I wanted that trophy buck, badly enough...

    Eating Jacks

    I am a big fan of Jackrabbit. It's suitable for any sort of application you would use neck or shoulder meat for. It's tough, but very flavourful, slow moist temps and long cook times turn it into magic. It also makes some pretty great chorizo.

    I will be making something like this in the very near future. Thanks for the guide.

    Trail Camera Footage Sorting/Storage Solutions

    Trail cameras are great for gathering data, but like most capture devices they are capable of accumulating a tremendous amount of data. What are your strategies/tips for: Sorting through all the pictures/video you get? Storing the data? Patterning the animals so you can put all this info to use?

    Smoked ven. Snack sticks with high temp cheese and pepper flakes

    What kind of smoker is that? I like the process you have shown here getting from beginning to end. I bet I could use paneer in place of the high temp cheese (since it does not melt) and go for a slightly different flavor profile. I wanted to do jerky sticks for a while, and now you have my...
