    Knight UL vs Woodman Patriot

    I have a knight UL and after playing around with it and finding what it likes I absolutely love it now, it’s the best carrying gun I own and very accurate. My buddy has a 1-18 twist patriot on the way and I’m going to help him get it dialed in with BH and a smokeless load. It’ll be interesting...

    Smoking Sausage: Cold Smoke and Freeze or Fully Cook?

    I sous vide my last batch to get to temp then ice bath let sit in fridge over night and cold smoked the next day and it came out great, I was getting hot spots in my smoker and it required way to much babysitting and tried the sous vide way and it came out good

    Dry Aging Summer Sausage

    Mine has never needed added humidity I just control it with dehumidifier. Those ink birds are great. It took some figuring out the right dehumidifier because when the controller is not calling for it the power is off, some units need the power button depressed to activate and when power is off...

    Arrowhead 45 cal smokeless prefit for Encore A+++

    That sucks I’m sorry to hear, I’ve never heard of it before I usually leave them loaded till I shoot something. I’ll be sure to swap out loads weekly now

    Arrowhead 45 cal smokeless prefit for Encore A+++

    Yikes I usually leave it loaded for weeks as well. I shot one at 220 last night and split the top of the heart in half with a load that’s been in it for at least 2-3 weeks. I probably have 100+ shots on mine and it’s never seen a patch and just as accurate as the day I got it.

    Youth Bow compound vs recurve

    I have a 5 year old son and 7 year old daughter that I want to get bows for this Xmas. They have had the cheap plastic ones over the years but I think it’s time for something halfway decent. Just seeing what other parents started their kids with and why.

    Good looking pup, how is he with the little one? Ours doesn’t realize how big he is and kinda tramples my 4 year old son who’s always zipping around the house a hundred miles an hour. He’s super gentle with our 7 month old baby and six year old daughter. He’s best friends with the mailman...

    It’s awesome working with him, I lost out on a bunch of hunting time for tracking and I don’t regret it at all. I actually tracked a buck for the manager of the best hunting property around and he got me permission on it. That tracking book pictured above is great. I read it when he was a pup...

    He was as turn key as any dog I’ve had. He came from a long line of law enforcement and deer trackers. I did super minimal training with him, small tracks in the back yard with deer parts as a small pup. His first real track was such an eye opener, trust the dog more than the shooter...

    Rooster the bloodhound. We had no shortage of wounded deer to follow last season. He found over a dozen before he turned one in December

    Poachers

    My brother is a warden and the amount of his poaching cases that stem from social media posts is astounding. Guys filling all of their tags yet keep posting pictures with deer. Posts like “#7 for the season” sir you have 4 tags. They monitor all of the local hunting and fishing pages. I...
