    Elk shanks

    Cooked up some elk shanks from my last cow elk. They came out absoutely delicious and they took a lot less time to cook than last years antelope shanks. Seasoned and floured them before browning in a dutch oven then cooked in a crockpot with mushrooms, onions, carrots, celery and a few spices...

    What am I looking at?

    These 2 pics are from a scouting/camping trip in central NV this past year. When it got light and before the sun came up the bucks were up feeding on the highest slopes between 9,000 and 11,000 feet. When when the sun came out they simply melted into the highest patches of trees. The lower areas...

    Cow elk

    Long winded write-up, hope you don't mind. Finally got it done. We had 4 full days of hunting and the weather was terrible. On our way in on Monday it was raining on top of the snow that was already there turning evrything into a slushy muddy mess. It took four wheel drive just to get our...

    Cow elk

    Headed out in the morning for my late season cow elk hunt in area 231. Had the same tag 2 years ago and it was bitter cold, hopefully the weather forcast is correct in that it doesn't show any below 0 temps for the coming week only low 20's. We did see a couple of monster bulls before I got my...

    New Year

    Hope everyone had a great New Year. My wife and I spent it watching my BIL and his band play at the Stock Exchange in Bisbee Arizona in the heart of desert muledeer country. That desert is some amazing country. Saw my second ever desert muledeer ever but I was not fast enough to get a pic. The...

    Bird watching

    Any amateur ornithologists out there? We put birdseed out for the birds recently and finally saw some birds we have never seen in our area. First there was only one and now there are four. We live in southern Nevada so I'm thinking maybe they only winter here. Any ideas?

    Needs some smoking advice

    I need some advice from you guys that have a lot more experience than me with smoking, I'm just a beginner. I've got half a breast from a home grown turkey that weighs about 10lbs. The whole bird weighed 45-50lbs dressed out. I want to smoke the breast and I'm wondering if I should remove the...

    Hunting stories

    Just wanted to give my .02 worth the cover story of the Oct-Nov issue. While that is truely a magificent buck, I don't really enjoy reading about a buck that was being watched all summer long along with another monster buck on private property by the guide. Basically the "hunter" just showed up...

    Berger bullets

    On my brother's elk hunt this year I had the chance to see firsthand performance of Berger Hunting VLD bullets or better yet lack of performance. The bullet was a 190 grain 30-06. The first shot to hit the bull was from a quarteing to angle and hit just behind the shoulder. From the actions of...

    Antelope shanks

    I made some antelope shanks for dinner yesterday from the buck my son got last week. I just cut them off the bone because I don't have a meat saw. They're kind of small but more than enough for 2 people. I just browned them up real good after seasoning with garlic salt and pepper and rolled...

    Nevada antelope

    We just got back from my son's antelope hunt and it was a great trip. We checked a lot of country that was devoid of antelope where we had seen them in the past. Once we found where they were hanging out and looked over probably 20-25 different bucks along a valley about 15 miles long. My son...

    Elk tongue

    Since I really like beef tongue I thought I would try an elk tongue if I get my cow this year. They are almost as big as beef tongue. I don't know why I never though of this before, guess I'm just a little slow. We've been wasting them all these years.:mad: Have any of you guys ever tried elk...

    diesel or gasser

    Right now I have a 97 dodge gas pickup with the 5.9 engine. 252,000+ miles on the original engine and trans so that's pretty darn good I think. Now that my wife and I are retired we have more time to go hunting and fishing so we take our 25ft trailer. When towing it I get around 7mpg, on a good...

    A few summer pics

    Some people think Nevada is all desert like the drive between LA and Vegas. When they ask where to go camping I always tell them Utah because I figure if they can't go and find places for themselves I don't want to see them in our camping areas.
