    Posting pics

    I'm wondering how some pics that are posted show up on the screen as full size pics and some come out as thumbnails? Any pics that I post come out as thumbnails. Is there any way to chance that? All my pics are uploaded from my pc.

    Firewood

    Has anyone ever burned wood from tamarisk trees commonly known as salt cedars? There is a bunch, like probably a cord of 8-10 inch diameter logs the local power company cut away from the powerlines a couple of years ago so I'm sure they are nice and dry. I just don't want to load it all up if it...

    Grinder blade

    I pulled out the grinder again today to make another batch of ground meat. When washing all the parts before using it I noticed the blade wasn't really very sharp. So I put it on a sharpening stone and turned it since it is machined flat it was quite easy and only took about 10 minutes. I'm sure...

    A good book

    Since I'm an old fart I still like actual books. Here is a classic even though it was published in 1967 it's still a great book.

    Arizona elk

    I just found out my brother who lives in AZ just drew his 5th elk tag in 12 years. I told him he must have a lucky horseshoe up his @$$!! It's an October rifle hunt in the same area we have hunted 4 times before in September. It should be lots of fun.

    AZ Unit 1 elk...archery late season?

    I have hunted in area 1 and 2B with my brother on his elk hunts but they were September rifle hunts except for last year he had area 1 archery. There were a lot of places where we found bulls but I don't know if they would be anywhere close during November. The country is anywhere from the...

    Seeking help from all members.....

    For me climbing up the mountain is getting harder every year. Now that I am retired I work out 3 times a week, cardio and weights so the last 2 years have been much better as far as conditioning. Since I live a 2700 ft elevation it takes a couple of days to get acclimated to the 7-11,000 foot...

    More big snow

    It's always good to see the state getting some good moisture. I just hope it doesn't impact the deer herd in the Ruby's and Jarbidge too harshly. Two years ago when I had an antelope tag in the Ruby Valley area we were amazed at how much of the marsh was completely dry. Heer is a pic of the...

    New smoker

    I was given a smoker and can't wait to try it out. I already pre-seasoned as per instructions. I have a couple of small trout about 10 inches, without head and tail. Do they need to be fillets? Or can I smoke them whole since they are small. I looked up a few recipes and I will brine...

    Badger Hunting Nevada

    A few years ago a friend of ours shot a badger with his pistol on the way to camp. When he was skinning it the smell was awful. This badger was in AZ during my bros elk hunt. Just minutes before it was fighting with a pretty big hawk over a piece if something. The hawk ended up flying away with...

    Elk behavior question

    I have a question for you guys that have a lot more experience hunting elk than I do. I have found deer beds that are so deep you can tell they have been use year after year since who know when. Do elk like to use the same areas to bed year after year also? This past year we found a ridge that a...

    Things found while Hunting

    I have found petrified wood while elk hut with my brother in north eastern Arizona. There is actually quite a bit of it. I found these remains of an old truck mles from any road in Nevada. I've always wondered who drove it there and whether he died there too. I found the bottom part of a shovel...

    Hunting Camp Pic.s and Different Helpful Ideas for a Off The Grid Camp's

    I'm not one for roughing it anymore. Especially when the weather is like this. We use a generator to keep things running smoothly and warmly. During summer antelope hunts which are in August here in NV it's nice to run the AC during the heat of the day.
