    Meat Mystery Solved

    There was a joke floating around several years ago that I can't find now. To paraphrase: In order to settle once and for all the debate as to whether beef or antelope makes better table fare, a rigorously controlled experiment was conducted. A trophy beef bull was selected for the experiment...

    Let's get to cooking!!

    Awesome thread, thanks! I cook game a lot, and I BBQ a lot, but I have never tried a long smoke on any kind of venison. I have always been afraid that without any fat, it would just end up really dry. Is this something I should be worried about, and if so, how do I get around it? I got...

    Long range ethics

    I think there is more to it that just having the skill to hit your target at range. With most calibers, when you start talking about 1000 yard shots, the bullet flight time is over a second. That is just way too long to be confident in your shot. Even if you bullet goes exactly where you want...

    DIY Nutria?

    Have any of you ever tried a DIY nutria hunt? I am thinking south Louisiana or the gulf coast of Texas. My google-fu hasn't turned up anything but guides and a bunch of generic articles saying I should go do it.

    Suggestions for cutting the cord?

    Like most of the above, I have Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime. I use the Fire TV stick. I also have DirectTV NOW, which is DirectTV's streaming service. Its not affiliated with their satellite service, as far as I can tell. It is internet based and you can pick your package. We have the...

    Camera Holster

    Those are both really interesting options, thanks. Do you not worry about your camera being exposed and getting snagged or bumped on stuff?

    What do you collect?

    Used Swiss Army Knives. Though "collector" implies the objects are nice and/or valuable. I am really more of an "accumulator."

    Camera Holster

    Does anyone have any recommendations for a holster type case for a DSLR camera? I am looking for something to carry my camera on my waist belt that allows to quickly pull it out, snap a few shots, and continue on down the trail. Thinking something like the below...

    Backpacking meals help

    I have given up on trying to eat as many calories as I am burning on a backpack hunt. What I do isn't sustainable long term, but seems to get me through a week just fine. As others have stated, I do lose weight, but I don't feel like I am lacking fuel with my plan. I have coffee and two...

    Duck hunters and frame packs

    I use a Cabela's external frame with a cheap mesh decoy bag. No idea why anyone who has much of a walk would use anything else. Use one of the Cabela's gun mounts for the frame and the whole deal is really slick.

    permission for hunting

    This is really clear legally. The landowner can set whatever restrictions on the use of his land he wants. If you violate them, you're trespassing. "On November 5, 2000, Mr. Heilig was hunting pheasants in Walk–In Area No. 28 located in Big Horn County. The area was not designated for...

    2018 Broken Horn Oryx Rhoades Canyon Any Advice

    Don't know the area, but have hunted those critters. Read up a lot on shot placement. The vitals sit a lot farther forward than you are used to on North American game. A perfect shot is pretty much right through the shoulder. Takes a lot of getting used to, especially with the excitement of...

    Eloping to Alaska!

    I like Valdez a lot and the drive over on the Elliot is one of the prettiest I have ever seen. Lots of good fishing charters available in Valdez, though halibut tend to be smaller than fishing out of Homer. There is a really neat sightseeing tour. From Valdez, I would head north to Paxson and...

    Oprah 2020??

    I am not optimistic about her public lands stance. She built a private road in Maui that would VASTLY reduce the amount of time it takes to drive from one end of the island to the other. But, she declined to allow the public to use that road...
