Bear is one of those critters that needs to be well cooked because of parasites that they often carry. Bear has plenty of fat, but little marbling, so it still tends to be tough if you bake a roast or fry a steak to well done. It does make excellent burger when mixed with suet and cooked well...

I do put the heart in when I make burger, making sure to cut the fat off of it first. We quit eating liver a number of years ago when liver flukes became common and one of the shack members did a horrible job of cooking it. Nothing less appealing than a burned liver that bleeds all over your...

I just realized last night that my hips haven't been aching at all for the last month or so. I had reluctantly given up running years ago because of arthritis in my hips and big toes. The pain has just shifted to my shoulders after I started a daily regimen of dead tree cutting, so purely from...

I've got an idea for you Kid that you could put together in your shop. 1. Wrap an exercise band onto a Yeti (or similar) type can cooler. Attach the other end of the band to the wall. 2. Insert the beverage of your choice. (I would suggest beer, otherwise why bother.) 3. Stand a measured...

I have never hunted G for deer, but did hunt late season cow elk 2X (Jan.) in the southern part of the unit. This past January I saw over 40 deer there, but understand that there was a rather severe winter kill. I deer hunted H this past Sept., not more than a few miles east of the Grey's...

Nice! It's always good to have a place to go to for when you're in the doghouse at home.

I HAVE ABOUT 5,000 primers if someone is experiencing a shortage. Federal lg. rifle, large rifle match, and a variety of CCI, both rifle and pistol.

The only time I got hit one while running was about 30 years ago I was out in LA visiting family, and went for a jog around Echo Park. They were filming a movie there with Ernest Borganine and one of the cast members commented on how good I looked and asked if I was doing anything later. He...

I really don't think I should do that. First off, I don't want to bring too much recognition of my hot hunting spots. Then the government 3 letter agencies would want to send in hundreds of federal employees to do a study. And then I could expect a bunch of radical PETAphiles to show up on my...

After viewing a photo of the rare and exotic unicorn jackalope, I decided to post a picture of my one of a kind mount. This is likely the only Moobadowl that has ever been taken in North America. They are so rare that they haven't been recognized as even existing, and as such have avoided...

I have a go-to rifle that you would think is my favorite, but when thinking about this a while I have to go with the one that has the best history. The rifle is a Model 94 Winchester saddle ring carbine, 32 special, mfg. in 1923. I have an old picture of my maternal grandfather hunting with...

I love the look, and was wondering what the beam length was. The lack of a G5 on one side only enhances the length. For perspective, my 320" bull is a perfect 6x6, but only has 43" beams. You need a tall ceiling to hang that one.

Don't lie to a warden, EVER! Those guys get BS from every dude who has an excuse for his poor behavior. If you screwed up, then fess up, and you will likely find you will be treated fairly. If you lie to him, then expect to get the hammer dropped on you. I have always enjoyed my encounters...

I had to cancel 3 Canada trips last year and have 2 scheduled for this year and I bet that you will need to show proof of vaccination to cross the border. It looks like a vaccination card will be issued for the shot and followup.

This is really a no-brainer. All you anti-vaxers out there; aren't you glad that vaccines have eliminated smallpox and polio? The childhood diseases that all of us over 50 had to suffer through are mostly eliminated, and are only coming back due to folks not taking the vaccine. Here's a list...

I am trying to get at least a couple hours per day cutting dead balsam on the road into my place. It's a good workout, but I can tell that I am going to have to cut back on the calories this winter; either that or start a trapline. Managing to keep finding some projects for the shop, after...

I make up emer. kits that are tuned to the trip, time of year, vehicles, etc. Something that a lot of people don't consider is what you should always have in your pockets. I have put my pack down while making a stalk, and had the devil of a time finding it in the dark later, and each year...

I guess that I should consider myself as fortunate, that here I am at 68 and my only surgeries so far are tonsils at age 2, and appendix at age 14.

I despise yoga also. In the P90X program, one of the cd's is Yoga, and when I was following the program religiously I grunted my way through it, but I avoid it as much as I can these days. Any guy who thinks that yoga is just for sissies should take a yoga class with a bunch of women and...

Yup, and you better get used to it. I've done a couple canoe trips (plus the planned arctic trip this summer) with a 74 year old guy who doesn't seem to have any aches & pains issues. Your extremely active lifestyle serves you well until the crash & burn episodes, and they sure add up as the...
