    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.

    WGFD license proposals 2022, big cuts to Antelope.

    It's your choice. I don't think there is anything wrong with it, but I doubt if you'll see many NR's doing it. They pay a lot more for tags than residents. Myself, I am just not applying for a tag because I have seen the decline in the units I hunt for at least 5 years.

    Thanks for the update.

    WGFD license proposals 2022, big cuts to Antelope.

    I agree. I did a lot of volunteer work for Parks when it wasn't part of Wildlife. It was a big mistake for the Governor to combine them. They try to keep the money separated, but it is not possible all the time.

    I really doubt Colorado goes 90/10 for elk, they make too much money on the 2nd & 3rd season OTC tags to NR's. Deer is another matter as they are totally limited now.

    DIY Checkering?

    I don't checker any more, can't really use my hands a good as when I was young. If you decide to try this, I'll give you a set of good quality checkering tools. Let me know.

    Shed Hunter Killed by Grizzly

    The worst ones were European people. I told one of them if they were so concerned for the grizzlies, we could send some to them for stocking in their parks.LOL

    Mountain Bike Trail Building

    I am not against mountain biking and trail building. What I am against is the closing down of existing 4 wheel drive roads and 2 tracks that have existed for years and then letting miles and miles of new bike and motorcycle trails to be built and opening up new country to more than foot or...
