    Gps

    So my wife wants to buy me a GPS because I've mentioned how sometimes it's hard to find the truck in the dark in unfamiliar places or in thick cover after dark. Since I've never used one I'm wondering just how they work. Since we don't hunt anywhere private property boundaries are a factor I...

    Venison flank steak

    Ok guys I've got a couple of nice flank steaks off my buck this year so should I just throw it into the grind or try and make some actual flank steak recipe like fajitas or something. This is the first time I saved them.

    Ruby's mountain goats

    Here's some pics of the mountain goat we saw while deer hunting. It was encouraging to see all the kids with the nannies for the future of the herd. The goats came around the peak on the right in the first pic. We watched the 2 billys rolling and kicking dirt on themselves. They certainly didn't...

    Late rifle deer hunt

    Went on my much anticipated late season rifle deer hunt and ended up taking a little 3 point we spotted from camp. It's pretty hard to pass on a gift buck since he was so close to the dirt road in the canyon, we only had to drag him about 20 feet. That was after having to chase him down and...

    Grouse!

    My son shot a couple of Ruffed Grouse while he was out looking for Chukars. These are the first ones we've ever eaten and they were delicious. I've had them less than 10 feet from me while bow hunting and never thought about shooting one with my bow but now that we know how good they are they...

    Non res hunters

    Nah, we like to camp where nobody else is around. If you happen to see this old green Dodge up in the hills of NV feel free to stop by for a cold brew or a hot cup of coffee depending on the weather. If you need a spot to camp, there's plenty of room.

    The Wild Game Eats Thread...

    Hatch chilis are the best. You can use them with just about anything and it will taste better. Here we are in Eagar, AZ on my bro's archery elk hunt in 2015. We took an afternoon out of the hunt when we saw the "chili guy" setting up.

    How many activities, sports, etc... do you participate in?

    Well if hunting and beer drinking are both considered sports, I participate in two.

    Limited opportunity hunt

    I just got back from helping my bro on his cow elk hunt in one of the "limited opportunity' areas. There are very few elk but we always mange to find some. This was the first time out of 5 tags that we didn't shoot anything, the others were "any elk" tags. We did have a chance at some cows but...

    Slow around here

    Wow! I've been gone since the 17th and there are no new posts of animals on our NV forum. Surely someone has had some success out in our NV hunts so far.

    Setting up my 40x30 out-building

    Since you already have a 60 gal air compressor you may want to run an air line along one side of the building with a few quick-connect fittings so you can have access to air anywhere inside. Maybe even one fitting on the outside on the front. Perhaps a freeze-proof spigot because it's always...

    Comfort level

    I've never been hardcore because I feel hunting should be fun and enjoyable. That means no backpacking. Being comfortable makes that possible. So we bring all the comforts of home.

    Wild elk?

    Last week while driving down the highway north of San Luis Res we saw a herd of elk in a big field. Are those wild Tule elk or are they a captive herd? Just curious since I've never seen elk in CA before.

    Game bags?

    I've been using the same Alaska Game Bags for at least 5 years now. They are great, very strong and durable and thy wash up nicely.

    R.I.P. patrick

    I remember reading his stories at the back of Outdoor Life for years and years. I've read a couple of his books in the last few months as well. We have lost a truly gifted humor writer.

    New NV regulation

    NDOW approved this new regulation on shed antler hunting. I'm not sure if it is in effect now or whether it starts next year. Just something to be aware of for you shed hunters. http://www.ndow.org/Our_Agency/News/Articles/Wildlife_Commission_Adopts_Shed_Antler_Regulation/

    Need help with truck transmission 1992 / F-150 / 6cyl automatic

    Hey Slugz, any update on your pick-up. I ask simply because I am my own shade-tree mechanic. The yoke does not use a crush sleeve. There is a seal that goes behind it that should be replaced whenever the yoke is removed though. It is the pinion gear that requires a new crush sleeve whenever it...
