    How much wildgame do you actually eat?

    There are just my wife and I and occasionally our son stays for up to a month, taking time off from his trucking business. We eat everything I get. Deer, elk antelope, upland game and fish. We usually can eat a mule deer and an antelope every year. If I get an elk, it takes a little longer and...

    WGFD license proposals 2022, big cuts to Antelope.

    Like I stated in a previous post. In the units I hunt, I have noticed a big population drop, especially in does. The last hunt, 2 years ago, I actually think we saw as many bucks as does and hardly any fawns and yearlings. I will not be applying for a couple of years for sure.

    Eastman's New Masthead

    I like the old masthead with the elk a hell of a lot better than the new one!

    Eastman's New Masthead

    A few months back, Eastman's asked everyone to submit pictures for possible inclusion in a new masthead for this Forum. Lots of great pictures were posted. The new masthead sure doesn't include any of them. What happened and why?

    Eastman's Hunting Journal - Annual Sheep Issue

    I received my Annual Sheep Issue a couple of days ago and just finished reading the First story "Sweet 16". I had to read it several times to really understand what the story was actually saying. I am a bit upset by what happened, the father actually attempting to kill his daughters ram after he...

    really good venison recipe

    I have some loin left from my buck last fall. I think I'll try this. I have been trying some different stuff and the recent batch of green chili with venison was great.

    Burger, breakfast sausage & brats.

    Just finished grinding, stuffing and adding spices to my venison meat. Ended up with 25# breakfast sausage, 15# brats and 40# burger. A couple of months ago I bought 20# of bacon ends & pieces, used it for the fat in everything. It is going to be great. That along with steak stew meat and jerky...

    Fresh Water Ponds

    The main reason I am going to use them is that they are pretty easy to raise, they tolerate large fluctuations in water temperature and quality and they multiply fast. They will provide forage for the Bass and Bluegill and probably eat some mosquito wigglers too. Just really wanting to know if...

    Knee Pads - free

    I have a set of really great knee pads that I don't use anymore. They are ALTA Industries and are great for antelope hunting, especially when there is that little, sticky cactus around. Anyone want them........just PM me you mailing address and pay postage, they are yours.

    Fresh Water Ponds

    I have a pond on my property here in SW Colorado. It is fed by seasonal irrigation water. It is about 12 to 14' deep and I stocked it with bass, bluegill, channel cats and sterile grass carp for weed control. They all do well. I do get a few mosquitos during the summer. I am going to start...

    Mountain Bike Trail Building

    Visited the public lands office here and lo & behold sign on the door said "No Public Access" and it was locked, but people inside working. Called them and they said closed because of Covid, possibly opening May 1. I did get the name of the person in charge of trails & roads. Called him and had...

    WGFD license proposals 2022, big cuts to Antelope.

    I agree 100%. 2nd & 3rd season are an absolute zoo around here. I do hunt those seasons in units that have limited tags.

    How to cook rabbit meat?

    For years my Dad fed the jacks we shot to our hounds. They loved them, me not so much. Brush bunnies and cottontails are great eating.

    You are correct about the doe tags. They are really cheap, I remember when we could buy them for $5.00 and were allowed 5 tags.

    Green Chile Stew?

    The only problem with Hatch chilies is that they are seasonal. Being right next to New Mexico (50 miles away), we get lots of fresh Hatch's in season.
