    Moving to the Austin, Texas area. Q & A please

    Traffic can be rough from DT heading north, especially during peak travel hours. There was a noticeable decline in traffic when Covid hit (much like everywhere else) but it is quickly picking back up. Yes depending on where exactly you’re living and working there are a handful of tolls...

    New Mexico Draw

    Y’all just don’t understand... if you’re not hunting the Gila, you’re not hunting elk... better off shooting coyotes... 🙄

    Whats your NM draw strategy?

    My strategy is to tell everyone that the elk hunting in New Mexico sucks and there is a major drought going on in the area so save your money. I hear ID and CO are fantastic though 😁

    Arizona CC hits coming Friday...

    Given the issues with their new application system, this wouldn’t surprise me at all...

    What is a realistic expectation on shot distance in NM unit 34 with a bow?

    I suggest shooting out to as far as you possibly can and be confident out to 60 yds. When you have confidence out to 50, 60, etc., it makes those 20-30yd shots seem like nothing. You will also pay closer attention to mechanics if you focusing on trying to tighten groups out that far.

    My only complaint about the latest season is the lack of cooking episodes/segments. Otherwise I enjoyed it.

    Band Saw

    Does anyone use a band saw at home for cutting shanks, marrow bones, etc.? I’m thinking about buying a relatively cheap bandsaw at Home Depot for the task rather than continuing to struggle through with a butcher saw. Any reason I shouldn’t use a standard wood band saw rather than one built...

    Grinding — Auger Meat

    To clarify, the stuff wrapped around the auger at the end of the grind isn’t ground... so throwing it in the tub with the rest of the grind wouldn’t work. I’ll try using ice as some others have noted to clear out the tube at the end. Thanks for the responses.

    Grinding — Auger Meat

    To make sure I’m tracking—are you saying that you end all of your grinds with just fat at the end to make sure all the meat gets pushed through? I like that idea/hadn’t thought it.

    Grinding — Auger Meat

    What do you do with the meat at the end of your grind that is wrapped around the auger? I typically have enough meat wrapped around the auger and packed behind the blade that it’s the size of a fist—I typically give it to my dog, curious if y’all do anything different.

    Elk heart how to?

    I clean it like a bell pepper then treat it like any other piece of backstrap tenderloin for recipe purposes.

    cooler question #1234244

    I just used 2 145 qt RTIC coolers to bring back my bone-in meat. Fit a mature bull from NM to TX with room for 40-50 lbs of ice in each

    New Mexico unit 36

    I can’t speak to how effective of a tactic that is for shooting a bear. I also weighed this option but inevitably I decided that I would rather spend all efforts focusing on killing a mature bull and if I tag out quickly without a bear tag on hand, that’s a good problem to have.

    New Mexico unit 36

    I'll let others chime in with better insight than me on this, but I'm not sure how legal hunting over a carcass of an elk you killed would be in New Mexico. It seems to fall in a gray area but I would venture to guess that a Game Warden would tell you that a carcass is "organic material...
