He was a buffalo hunter who way back in the 1800 knocked a Comanche chief off of his horse and killed him at 1538 yards with a single shot. The party of hunters were surrounded by upwards of 1200 Comanches. Or so the story goes. It is a neat read. Some say that he was using a borrowed 50-90...

One day I was doing next to nothing and figured that if it was invested properly then most of your family would never have to work a day in their life. Since I am single I have often wondered just what to do with my investments once I am gone. I am looking real hard at setting up a education...

I used to always say that if you are not breaking something you are not having fun. Well, at least not breaking bones... That's the problem now days, everything is built for our safety in mind. Do you remember when they changed from flat boards on swings to those rubber straps where you...

This sounds like something that Kid would do:

If I remember right I have a 500 lb Mk-82 bomb off of a A-10 that crashed south of I-70 a number of years ago. The Air Force searched for a couple of years for it. They found one of them but not the second. They even brought in divers to check out the lakes in the areas where the plane...

For Africa it is the experience. No other place can you go and see such a variety of animals that you can hunt. And while a lot of it is high fence hunting you will hike for a very long time across some of these properties before you find the fence. I know that where I was hunting in 2015...

In the last 25 or so years you could say that I have turned into a "trophy hunter". I look for the best animal that I can find, it isn't as easy now as it was 25 years ago but I find myself being more selective of what I pull the trigger on. But when meat is needed for the freezer that small...

I forgot about this thread.

How true, everyone that you talk to sounds like they are in a echo chamber..

For years we would gut them and then skin one side and then start cutting. On the hinds we would split the pelvis and the tail part of the spine to where we would have two hinds from the hoof to the tail. We would leave the legs attached for easier packing with just a game bag on it. We would...

On freezing water jugs look at what fits into your coolers. I like 1 quart bottles. they lay down in my coolers quite nicely and if needed you can place them into the body cavity of a animal to cool it off. Also pieces of 1/2" pvc pipe cut to the width of your cooler and then using them to...

If you wash it and then don't let it dry it will start the bacteria growing. In the slaughter houses they control the temperatures and it is usually cool enough that they don't have to worry about it. But I have washed off and cleaned out the body cavity of gut shot animals with water and...

We used to hunt deer a area in the Utah Book Cliffs that you could only access from Colorado. One day as we were coming out of the canyon we spotted a small buck and since my nephew wanted a deer I stopped my truck so that he could get out and shoot it. He walked over to a edge of a ravine a...

I have yet to see a poaching case get settled with the type of punishment that I think that they actually deserve. Even healthy fines are just a slap on the wrist when you come down to it. And until some good jail time that has to be served I don't think that much is going to be done as far as...

After getting my second shot on Saturday I felt a little bit tired today. Not so tired that I couldn't do what I wanted to do but it would be real easy to sit down in my favorite chair and take a nice nap. But then I usually feel that way if I sit down in that chair and close my eyes.

If I am near a garden hose I will hose it off to get any loose hairs or any dirt that may be on the meat. I'll then let it dry before wrapping it up. When I am antelope hunting I pack a extra 5 gallons of water in my truck just to wash off the animal once I am done skinning it. If I am...

Enforcement is the big question that I don't believe has been really looked at. Lets, take South Africa for a example. In order to enter SA from a country that had Yellow Fever you need proof of a vaccine. Now is it like what I now have from the CDC when I got my Covid vaccine or is is just...

I didn't listen to that interview like I also don't listen to any of Fauci's either

I've seen that bug put people into a hospital for a couple of weeks and stuck on a ventilator for most of the time while they were in the hospital. It is interesting in that the flu is almost nonexistent this year yet Corona is still putting people into the hospitals ICU beds.
