Packs are personal preference imo. Until you use one a few times, you won't know what you like or dislike. I prefer my Ebberlestock while a buddy of mine, who is similar in size, likes a different pack. They all work- just need to try a few and see what you like.
I would be interested to hear how many of the pregnant does got bred late in those scenarios and what fawn survival rates looked like for the fawns born a month later. Guessing quite a few variables exist making it hard to measure results on a broad scale. It would also be interesting to hear...
I appreciate you posting that. I am learning more, even in my old age lol.
I did visit again with my contacts. I am told the 8/100 is not a guarantee of all being bred but I am told the concern not being discussed enough is does being bred late, lowering fawn survival percentages. At...
No clue how long the actual plans are. The crash is being attributed to the winter kill as we lost most of the older age classes of bucks and the entire crop of fawns.
I don't have links to provide. The info I have gotten is through conversations and the feeling I got was that at 12 to 100...
Your listed buck to doe ratio is inaccurate. It is regionally much lower. In one area I am seeing 12 per 100 currently based on areal counts.
This APR is intended to increase that ratio and is only planned to be in place for 2 years. Right now there is concern that in some areas the ratio...
Lot of good ones mentioned.
I am on a low sodium diet so most of the store bought ones are pretty high for me. I started making my own about a year ago. Jalapenos are cheap so it really doesn't cost much to make a good green sauce similar to green Cholula. My current recipe uses jalapenos...
True, but Ali and Tysons losses came from serious professional fighters that belonged in the ring. JP is far from that. JP might win but it's foolish to think Tyson has no shot imo.
I shake my head and laugh at so many of the comments in this thread. You guys act like someone can't be in great shape at 57. No 57 year old mike can't compete for championships anymore but he still is miles ahead of JP in experience and skill. I wouldn't bet either way because JP has...
Never have been close that I know of but have spent plenty of time in bear country. Had a few black bears close but no exciting stories. Definitely not complaining...
To me the front shoulders are what takes some time. If it's warm, I'll leave them whole, with hide off, to speed up how fast I can roll to start on the opposite. Once rear quarters are deboned and cooling, I go back to Debone the fronts. Anything over a mile, I completely debone.
Here in the midwest they pay the full amount, minus deductible. All the roofs are new though and replaced every 2-3 years due to golf ball or larger hail.
I bought my current home in 2003. We are on our 5th, soon to be 6th roof, all from bad hail storms. I feel like I live under the hail bullseye. The first time it happened, I though great, new free roof. Fast forward to now and I loath the thought of another storm. It is a huge PIA, and yes...
We smoked a hind quarter this weekend for a Hawaiian themed party. Injected with applejuice and melted butter. smoked at 210° until internal was 190. after 8 hours of open smoke, I laid pineapple circles across the top, draped it in thick cut bacon, and wrapped it in foil to finish. We...
I agree. I think regionally, one could be much more common than the other. In one state that I hunt there are quite a few 200" deer taken yearly. In the last 80 years, 93 over 200" have been entered in our local data base while only 7 elk over 400" have been entered. I believe a majority of...
Type 2 permits have some kind of restriction, be it date, ownership designation, or specific for a part of the region. Those designations or restrictions do change occasionally so, as mentioned above, it would be in your best interests to wait for the final quotas and regulations to be...
To me their actual value doesn't mean much. In that case, $100 worth of outdoor gear would be on order for the kids. I just don't have the packrat mentality.
Meh, I think people place too much value in passed down objects. After a generation or two, they/you will be forgotten, or at minimum barely thought about. Sell them and take the kids on a trip that will make memories.
I think people pass things down in hopes they will be remembered. I...
These are really nice carts. I have seen guys carry an elk on one. It's not for me but for those that want to take an elk or deer out whole, it is probably the best product on the market to do it.
