    Removing Fish Fillet Bones

    For trout the best thing to do is cook them bone in. You can skin them by gutting, then cut then skin around the throat. Use a pair of pliers to pull the skin back down towards the tail. Grill, fry or bake. The filets will shrink slightly and you can then take a fork starting in the middle...

    Android friendly trail cams

    Any card reader that plugs into the bottom of your smartphone should work. For pictures, if I am viewing them directly from the SD card I have to individually click each picture - no swip to scroll through. I have to copy the photos from the SD card to my phone and then I can scroll through...

    When do bulls tend to leave their summer zones?

    Last year was my first year really elk hunting. I was scouting several areas throughout July and Aug with trail cams. I had found a few 5x5s and some smaller bulls but several cows. Once the middle of August hit everything changed. Several 6x6s and 5x5s appeared that I hadn't seen in two...

    What sound/vocalization is this?

    Sorry for the poor audio. The first one is right between 1 and 2 seconds and the second is right at 10 seconds in. The second one is lower in volume. The first one you can see the elk lower his head as he makes the sound/sneeze/wheeze. I think he is definitely signaling at me as you can see...

    What sound/vocalization is this?

    Setting up trail cams yesterday and had this 4x4 walk in right behind me. We stared right at each other for several minutes before he circled downwind of me and started making a snort/wheeze sound similar to an antelope once you've been busted. Probably happened 20 times. Tried looking...

    Stealth cam pissing me off

    That's weird. I bought 9 older model stealth cams...all of them refurbished but brand new otherwise. I've had zero issues with them. Sounds like maybe a lemon?

    Displaced FNG Military mbr in CA

    Welcome to RS. Also an AF guy here. I wish I could get stationed at Beale, but honestly my hunting days would be over as I wouldn't be able to get away from the bass at Bullards, Clear Lake or Berryessa. Will you be elk hunting solo or in a group? Archery or rifle? My number 1...

    How many arrows?

    3 arrows for me. Not shooting at grouse or other small critters. 4 animals down with 4 shots. For me its the same as bullets. I only carry 4 bullets - whatever will fit in the clip.
