    Backstrap

    Up here, I get my maple syrup from a neighbor. Venison and maple syrup go together naturally. But of course, they live in the same woods with their buddies wild leeks and mushrooms. I guess the bottom line is you'd have to work hard to ruin backstrap. All your receipes sound great, I'll have...

    Backstrap

    I mentioned venison backstrap earlier, and if you want to negate all the good chloresterol free virtues of venison, here we go. I like to grill it plain, hot and fast, cook it pink, even a little red. slice it thin, dip it in hot melted butter, put it on good fresh, crusty Italian bread, a...

    Butchering to save hunting time

    Yeah, I don't know why those bags are costly. I'm almost 67 and I ran out of first born a while ago!! Patty has venison stew going for tonight. Smells good!!!

    Butchering to save hunting time

    Around here, we have the opposite problem, got to get them cut before they freeze. We get the hide off as soon as we get the deer home. We generally leave it alone after that for an hour or two, and then it is firmed up enough to work easily with. Also, the vacuum sealing really reduces...

    Weirdest Animal You Ate

    I have heard that "If it is orange and black, don't eat it." Is it true? I know of nothing that eats lady bugs, or here in Michigan, her kin, the imported Asian Beetle. Don't vacuum them up, they'll stink up the whole house.

    Butchering to save hunting time

    We have a "meat room" in the barn where we process our deer and other critters. We hang a deer on a gambrel, skin it while it is warm and then start at the hind legs and remove the meat by muscle groups working toward the head until only a skeleton is left. We used to sit and remove silverskin...

    What a deer sees - Ladder Stand @ 40yds

    Here in Michigan, we're stuck with hunter orange also, but I have never found it to be a problem. We have 4 permanent, high tree stands build with unpainted pressure treated lumber. The deer often walk directtly under them and never look up. One time, a buddy and I were walking out at first...

    got out sqwerl'in

    I hunt small game with my .32 T/C Cherokee. When I first got the rifle quite a few years back, I found it was a tack driver with 50 gr. FFF Goex, a .015 patch and a round ball. I liked the accuracy and started hunting with it. The first opportunity came with a snowshoe hare comng at me at...

    ironic....

    A couple of years ago in October, at about 10 on a Sunday morning my closest neighbor, about 1/3 mile down the road, pulled in my drive. She said your dog is in the road. Well, my beagles don't go in the road, so I said thanks, and went out there. Here's Bodertha munching smashed deer parts...

    new bullet from Hornady

    I've had poor luck with many of the "new" bullets. I use only PRBs and T/C maxis. If I'm stand hunting, and the shot can be short or long, I keep two rifles handy, one loaded with a PRB and the other is loaded with a light to medium weight T/C Maxi hunter and lots of juice. We have a lot of...

    Michigan's improved ML regulations

    I may be wrong, please correct me if I am, but as I recall, the old .44 cal. restriction was on bore size, not bullet size.

    Sighting with both eyes

    I always was right eye dominant, but after having this condition, I'm not so sure the left didn't take over the job. (if that is even possible).

    Sighting with both eyes

    What I have is called a retinopathy (spelling may be incorrect). The leak in the back of the retina was sealed with laser surgery.

    Sighting with both eyes

    It's hell to get old. I wear glasses because of that. A couple of years ago, I found, suddenly, I could barely see my sights with my right eye. I had a leak in the back of the retina which killed the rods anc cones in that area rusulting in a central blind spot in that eye. Using a scoped...

    ML for bigger game

    Hi, get in touch with Wayne Garber. He just got done building a .62 Jaeger. He's in Port St. Lucie. [email protected] He's a member of and shoots with Treasure Coast Muzzleloaders.

    Michigan's improved ML regulations

    Great idea. I bow hunt too, but I feel the season is too long and a lot of the good bucks are taken out early...a lot of them just wounded by people who won't take time to learn their own and their weapon's capabilities and limitations. Our wolves and coyotes eat pretty well around here in the...

    Fast twist in a flintlock

    I don't have a clue as to what twist he put in the Jaeger. Knowing Wayne, when he replicates a gun it is as original. He didn't try to reproduce anything when he built the fast .50. It was his idea and plan.
