I'm going to try my hand at making some snack sticks. Before I use any of my wild game, I figured I would try with some regular ground beef to get a hang of the recipe and casing stuffing process. I have quite a bit of 80-20 beef grind I can use. Is the 80-20 a good ratio for snack sticks...

I imagine many hunters enjoy looking up into the night sky on a clear nite. I've always been something of an amateur astronomer. Right now, if you live outside of town, or have dark skies, you can catch the Geminid meteor shower. Find Orion and look to the side of it to find Gemini. The...

Just doing a little research for 2019 and was looking into the reduced price cow tags in Montana. I surfed the FWP website and did some data mining; but nothing exhaustive. Am I correct in assuming that there is no such thing as a type B cow tag that allows hunting on public national...

Just an idea to float past our gracious hosts; surely there is a sponsor interested in promoting their awesome jerky mix, snack stix, or sausage fixins to a hardcore group of dedicated hunters. [emoji6] With all these tags filled, folks are wanting to make this stuff to get through the long...

Didn't make it over the mtns last month to pay the brewery a visit-but I'm already fishing for an excuse to head that way next spring/summer! [emoji6] Any place that brews "speed goat ale" is definitely on my radar. *correction: "Speed Goat Golden Ale" A buddy of mine was raving about...

Took these on way into work over the last 2 wks-not the best qual off an 'antique' smartphone-but some pheasants and whitey to keep the ride interesting. [emoji6] Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337Z using Tapatalk

Ok-maybe that got everyone's attention? [emoji28] Hunting seasons are in full swing and from all the pictures on the forum, tags are getting filled. [emoji123] I got 8# of trim off my antelope that's slated for jerky, I bet I'm not alone. Let's hear about everyone's favorite jerky recipes...

Took these with the smartphone while afield the past few days; the silence of the high plains was surreal. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337Z using Tapatalk

Bonecollector & I have been talking about this: chrono'ing a lower or stagnant velocity with more powder. 'BC shared a load work-up where he is seeing this. I too may now be seeing this as well, and wanted to start a topic on this phenomena to see what the reloading brain trust can come up...

I have never shot an antelope So, if I'm lucky and get one, I will need to deal with it. I have butchered deer using the gutless method, and plan to do the same if I anchor a speed goat. On deer, I usually leave the hide on the 1/4s, wrap in gamebags, then they go into a iced cooler for...

So, I whipped out one of my scope manuals to review how to make an adjustment. After 2 pages of sales pitch on how great my scope was, I finally found the info I was after. Umm? I already bought the scope? I know how awesome it is. Grrr. They made the sale. Sealed the deal. Really? [emoji21]...

Anyone use 'optimal charge weight', 'ladder' , (mix of the 2) or maybe some other method to work up an accurate load for your rifle? Fair bit of debate in many forums over the years on the merits of the OCW vs Ladder; curious about other members experiences with these methods for load...

Before bed, I finished cleaning a batch of .280 brass I had soaking in my poor man's cleaning tub in a well known concoction of 1 part white vinegar to 4 parts hot water, and a wee bit of dish soap. I shook the brass for a couple minutes, every hour, for a couple of hours. The solution came...

Wall tents/RVs should probably be included in that title. What style of camping (in your unit) will you be pursuing this season and why? The answer will probably depend on several factors: species hunted, climate, pressure, your experience and preferences I'll be hunting antelope DIY on the...

We usually splurge and stop someplace for a celebration or "tag soup" supper on the way home-after a week in the field. [emoji6] 1. Good place for steak 2. Mexican Kids and I stopped in Cheyenne last month and on a whim, we ate at this place 'Casa de Trujillo', we were pleasantly surprised...

...I'm not...lol [emoji23] Between the side of town known as 'pace of life' and 'procrastination' lies a place called 'oh darn'; I'm stuck in slow traffic in that district...[emoji12] Plan is to head to WY, in now *deep breath* 5 weeks, to chase speed goats. Stepped on the scale yesterday...

I just looked at the calendar and realized that it's like just 6-8wks b4 i head back out west on the hunt I have planned. For me, living in the upper midwest, I'm looking at 900 miles in and out. Many of you guys will do more, some less. For those traveling more than 500 miles at sane...
