    Gutless method, aging, and recipes per cut

    Thanks everyone. Learning hunting, butchering, and cooking wild game on my own is a steeper curve than I expected. But it's getting there. Thanks!

    Gutless method, aging, and recipes per cut

    Thanks guys. JLS, How do you do the whole leg as a roast? And do you debone first or do one in? I had been trying to debone everything prior to coming out, and I could be my lack of skills, but the front legs are always pretty rough by the time they go in the game bag.

    Gutless method, aging, and recipes per cut

    Hey gang, I'm still pretty new to hunting only starting 4 seasons ago but now I've harvested two deer. When teaching myself I decided to learn the gutless method only for less confusion. The first deer went pretty well butchering the whole way through to packaging, and the second was even...

    Aging Meat

    Are you referring to the one with the chef? That was a fridge set up just for aging I think (added fan, etc.). Was the OP asking for a custom fridge or just aging in the standard fridge? That podcast talked about how keeping good air circulation around all of the meat was key for what that's...

    Ask your onX Hunt questions here!

    I also like the new interface. I'm struggling though with the MVUM layer. I don't see any change on some roads that I know are closed or seasonal. Is this working for others in Mt?

    New lightweight chair - interested?

    Thanks again everyone for your support. With Mountainsmiths version out, I don't think I'll proceed with this concept. Unfortunately I think I missed my window. However, if any of you are handy at sewing these are fairly easy to make. I tried to attach a sketch of the overall design. Obviously...

    portable bow press on 2016 hoyt defiant turbo?

    I just bought the Synumn with the adapters after emailing with Hoyt. They said to only use the approved presses especially on the newer bows, and I was too hesitant to try the smaller/lighter/more affordable options.

    New lightweight chair - interested?

    Thanks 1-pointer. I was aware of the chair kits and they are partly responsible for me looking for something else. The kits are heavier because they add structure through the chair with rods and only come up to the lower back. I wanted a chair I could fully sit back in to relax, glass, etc. A...

    New lightweight chair - interested?

    That's a valid concern, it it could always be used without the pad like Mountainsmiths. In fact I did just that a few times when we'd stop for lunch breaks. I also was thinking about the sticks when I picked the lightweight ripstop compared to their cordura. My logic was that if a person can...

    Merino Wool

    I love my First Lite. I have the llana, chama, kanab, desert boxers...they've all worked well. I also use icebreaker later but it seems much heavier and is the same price range. It's usually what I wear XC skiing after the season is over.

    Seasonal roads

    Hey guys, I just did a little hike and put a trail camera up in an area I've poked around several times but never hunted. When I pulled up to the normally closed gate I saw it was open. Not having that areas MVUM, I parked off the to the side like normal and hiked about 1.5 miles angled off from...

    New lightweight chair - interested?

    It is a sleeve that a sleeping pad can go in, with trekking poles providing the back support structure. The pictures above were all using sleeping pads of various sorts to add plenty of cushion. the bottom 15" of the pad can be folded up on itself to double the cushion where you need it. The...

    Your GPS

    Garmin 64s Works well with OnX chip, very reliable, great battery life Small screen as well! For what it's worth, I've been using both my iPhone with the OnX maps and the gps. With the iPhone in airplane mode it gets pretty good life for a couple days (gps still runs in airplane mode). You do...

    Looking for the right elk hunting pack. Suggestions

    I'm a big fan of my mystery ranch but usually stick with the longbow. It's great for up to 3 day trips and keeps me from overpacking. I've heard a great things about the other brands as well and was impressed with stone glacier when my father-in-law borrowed one last year.

    New lightweight chair - interested?

    Thanks everyone! I think I have enough interest to convince me to move forward with the manufacturer. Once we have all the kinks worked out I'll either put it up on Kickstarter or dive right in with a small ecommerce website. Either way I'll post a link here. Thanks again!

    I like my Chugach NX jacket. I overheat super fast when wearing a shell and this seems to be the only jacket I can still hike in. All my other clothes are First Lite and sitka

    Arrow/Broadhead Opinions

    I shoot the VAP Elites 350, with a stainless steel outsert and 100grain Exodus. Total arrow weight is just under 450g and the punch deep. Even using field points I'll bury arrows up to fletching a right next to a guy whose arrows only get a few inches in. I'm only shoot 64# and 28" draw. As a...
