I took a few weeks of vacation to do some rut bowhunting. I saw a lot of deer and passed a many bucks and does. It was an enjoyable time. Towards the tail end of the trip the farmer who land I hunt said he wanted a deer and if I had the chance to shoot one for him I should. The final hunt for...

This gun is a Remington Speedmaster .22 cal . This one was made in 1963. It is in far worse shape than the old Mossberg I recently restored. It has a lot more rust and the stock is broken. It is also a semi-auto so there are far more pieces to deal with. Like the last gun, this one is also in...

So you want to be a “Real Boy”?? That was the ad campaign and selling feature over 100 years ago for this unique firearm. In 1882 Clarence Hamilton, along with other investors, started the Plymouth Iron Windmill Company. Along with a friend, he started producing an all-metal rifle to be given...

This is the restoration of the first shotgun I ever fired. If memory serves that was when I was 9 or 10 years old. My Dad bought this Winchester model 37, single barrel, break action,shotgun used in 1958. The first owner sold it because it kicked too hard. He sold it to another guy who only...

I picked up some chert stone flakes that will work great for arrow points. I used a nice, thin, white piece for the arrowhead. I made some wood and cooper tools and an antler brow tine to flake away the stone. The leather is to protect my hand as I press the cooper tool against the chert...

If you can boil water. You can can deer meat. I cut the deer into cubes about 1 1/2 inches square but it doesn't really matter what the shape is. I then pack the raw meat into pint jars and press the meat down tight. I sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of salt onto the meat and place the lid and ring on...

While shooting my bow in the yard this afternoon, the turkeys showed up again. I used the cam mounted on the bow and kept walking up to them to shoo them away (our dog is a fan of both eating and rolling in turkey crap) Last week so many roosted in the dead tree behind my bow target the rotten...

I finished the long process of making pork bacon (non belly). I will attempt to explain the 2 week process here. Bacon comes from the pork belly but can be made from any part of the pig. Using shoulders gives me a less fatty bacon with more lean meat to enjoy. I bought a 60 pound box of pork...
