I am down to 1 pint jar 😕 I use Bear fat (Not oil) a LOT. I mix it with Elk tallow and in summertime some bees wax . . . .something like 40/50/10 in a good size tin, then use that as a base, from it I make a hand cream (Just add a few drops of tea tree oil to mask the Bear fat smell.) I like...

I think I would go up 10 grains from 70 to 80 fffg and start looking to see if there is a nice accurate load in the 80-95 range. I would absolutely stick with the best really good grouping load I could find in that 80-95 range, even if that ends up on the lower end of 80-95. You may have to...

Well he didn't draw, but he is only one point behind her now. . . So I get to take her this year and go with him in one or two years.

Got My Muzzle Loader Bear tag and My Rifle deer (which I will hunt with my ML but also with my rifle hunting Cousin who I have hunted with for 42 years. and My December Cow elk tag. But what I'm REALLY excited about is my Wife drew her Antelope tag❕ I'm waiting to see if my Hunting partner got...

I have a cookie can with a nail hole in the lid, whenever I remember to, I fill it with Apple or pear Tree trimmings and throw it in the coals on the BBQ after grilling a steak or something. Just take the grill off, drop the can right down in the coal bed then stack the coals around the can &...

Fantastic!! I have yet to take a Turkey With a Front Stuffer 🤨 Defiantly on my To do list.

I have this rifle in flint, It's a lovely rifle, I almost never take more than 6 or 8 shots on a small game hunt and have never regretted the .32 cal. I know many feel .32 fouls badly, and on a day at the range it can seem that way, in the field I can't remember ever shooting enough rounds to...

To be fair, we have a lot of hunters fly into "The West" to hunt with Guides, getting their meat home is a logistical problem already, butchering it themselves would make it even harder. The result sadly being that people who save up for years and go on a once in a lifetime Colorado Elk hunt. ...

There is a YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/c/TheScottReaproject/featured He does a lot of step by step, My meat cutting improved a ton when I started watching him cut lamb and such. You might give it a look.

My 1st elk sausage was so bad, I thought 30% fat sounded like too much so I tried 15% fat about 40 pounds of it :doh: Even cut up in a soup that sausage was dry to the mouth, served any other way it was like eating Styrofoam. 40 pounds of soup sausage. . . . .took 3 years to use it all up. 😄

It's a bit of a drug, once you cut up your own game a time or two you're hooked. You start learning actual "Cuts" of meat, get better knives. . . . next thing you know you've got a grinder and pink curing salt. . . . . Tuesday we were in the freezer and started counting packs of "Stew Meat"...

It's fun being the lone 🤪 sleeping out in a tent. . . Kind of puts the guys complaining about the bad nights sleep at the motel 6 in their place. . . lol

I'm sorry to clarify, is the rifle with the tacks the 40 cal or the .50? the photo with the "40 cal" was done on a darker background so the wood looks like the rifle without the tacks, but I think that is the renegade :dunno:

☃ You know I remember taking my boys ice fishing MANY times and doing all the hard work and carrying everything when they got cold & whiney . . . . . . . . 👴🏻 seems like it's time for the tables to turn. . . They can carry all the EXTRA stuff I think I need to be comfortable, while I doddle...

When I started Truck driving I could throw on a set of chains in 20 minutes. . . . . . .now I stop half way through for lunch 🙄

When I was young I would make a highly fat marbled jerky with the fat on the edge not trimmed off, just for winter camping, but back then I got out several weekends every winter, it had such high fat content it had to be stored in the freezer or it would sour even though it was fully jerked...

I think the big thing was when my foot slipped out of the blankets, I woke up and couldn't feel 3 of my toes, not much room for a fat old man to sit up and rub blood back into his foot, so by the time I was done I had been out of the covers and brushing against the frosty tent a lot, I was...

Just not TOO much summer, Bugs & dust might be worse than snow and ice. . . . .But I hear you 👍

Well I got the Video clips together, I'm no cameraman nor a vary good editor & sound was terrible so I just ran some background music over it all. (I guess 45 years of Ghosting through the woods alone, I have learned to only whisper to myself when I talk at all :dunno: ) Next Video I'll try to...
