We are loaded up and headed to Colorado in the morning!!! Time to put this thing to use and hopefully scratch another thing off...

    Elk processing ?

    My favorite thing to do with venison or beef is keeping it in fairly large chunks of meat and cover it in salt for 4 days and cold smoking it for 7 days.This can only be done in late fall or early winter to keep the meat from spoiling while it preserves. Takes awhile to master the salting but...

    Mobile Elk Hunting Rigs !!

    Well I had to remodel the counter alil to make room for the new heater. Ended up with an electric heater for the dry heat and it looks awesome. Top bunks are welded together, just need to hang them up. Instead of a bottom bunk I will use Coleman cots underneath the top bunks. I need a few more...

    Here is in Wisconsin there is no age limit to deer hunting with a Mentor. My boy has been hunting since 10 with a rifle and at 12 is now trying archery this year.

    Elk hide for mounting

    Get the hide frozen as soon as possible and don't let the cape get wet. Sometimes with certain conditions there's not much you can do. But it's not always the hunters fault. The taxidermist can cause it too depending what type of tanning they do, and some taxidermist won't use a pre tanned hide...

    Tasty Treats

    I like coral but there are so many different kinds and some have given my friends stomach cramps so be careful with that one

    Tasty Treats

    If you stick to choice mushrooms and do spore prints, it's actually not hard to stay safe with mushrooms. Number one rule is don't eat anything your not 100 percent certain what it is. I have never been sick and eat alot of wild mushrooms. Store ones don't even compare so I warn you it is an...

    Tasty Treats

    I'm an avid mushroom hunter here in Wisconsin and hope to cross paths with a King bolete while searching for elk. My end goal would be to enjoy a piece of elk steak with any local mushroom ( Choice mushroom Only ) along side it. Does anyone else love to harvest edible treats from the mountains...

    Garmin In reach plans

    Thanks guys sounds like the expedition plan is what I will go with since I'm sure my kids will constantly be checking on what is going on and then the wife wont have to limit their texting. And I'm sure hearing from my kids and wife more often will help being gone for that long.
