    I always wanted one of the painted buffalo skulls from Prarie Edge but couldn’t justify spending the money

    Buffalo Skull

    In my job I traveled between the same towns every day, which if you stayed on the paved roads got quite boring. One day while taking a “shortcut” I rode behind a man’s exotic animal farm and came up on his buffalo pasture. There were probably 15 or so by the lake just milling around doing...

    do loaded minnie balls move

    I have no first hand experience but when Mississippi primitive weapons season meant muzzleloader or archery (now you can use a scoped single shot cartridge rifle) I was talking to the game warden that managed the WMA where I hunted. He said that he was afraid to use anything but round balls...

    18th century recipes

    That was hashed out in a thread called “Southern Cornbread” a short while ago. I believe it says in the Bible “thou shalt NOT put sugar in thy cornbread” I’m not quite sure of chapter and verse but i think it is there several times. Also French nobility answered the question when they said “let...

    Any other heretics out there that oil their barrels?

    My shooting times are rare these days due to my wife’s health issues. As the storage time increased about 10 years ago I switched to 10W30 motor oil when I put one up after cleaning. I scrub it down with warm soapy water and then dry it with dry patches followed by a heat gun (don’t own a hair...

    It ain't about killing something

    When my son was nine years old (he is 33 now) he developed some sort of neurological disorder that caused him to lose the ability to walk. We took him to specialists all over the country and finally got a diagnosis of transverse myelitis which is kin to multiple sclerosis. He was told he would...

    Salted Pork Biltong New Batch.

    How do you eat it? Do you boil the salt out of it first then cook it like salt pork?

    How do you eat them

    As someone said, grits are a blank canvas and I do love them “dolled” up but most of the time for a good solid breakfast it is yellow grits, over easy eggs and something cut from a dead hog. About the gravy thing, growing up in the Mississippi Delta gravy was served on everything but birthday...

    You Never Forget Your First

    I was working at a small municipal/agricultural airport in 1970 making college tuition. A crop duster pilot from a nearby town had his Gull wing Stinson hangered there and we were talking guns one Rainey day (the only time we had to stand around) When I told him I was interested in shooting a...

    How do you eat them

    I guess you could use freshly made grits but I make extra and refrigerate the left overs in about a 1/2” thick layer in a pan. Slice the cold grits into squares and dip in flour. Fry In bacon drippings (or heart friendly oil) till brown. I like carmelized onions and jalapeños with mine

    Finding Paul V’s sausage recipe

    A good while back Mr. Paul Vanlandingham (RIP Mr. V) posted a recipe for making 1 pound batches of venison sausage from ground deer meat you might have in the freezer. I am unable to find it. If it is still here could someone please post a link or if not could someone repost it? Thanks in...
