    Salt Curing Bear meat

    Me and lots of others I know that shoot black bears in AK use a Corning kit from AK butcher supply to cure and flavor the meat. I’ve never done bone in, but have done large roast. You basically mix the cure kit with water and then I just put all the meat in 5 gallon buckets and wait 2 weeks...

    Best Case for Kowa 774

    My solution for my 773... Gear Aid camo Vet Tape, and a beer cozy over the lens. Cheep, light and the sunshade still functions fine. I think I might try a filter lens on the objective to protect it more also, not sure it the cap will still fit with a lens in..... maybe someone has tried a...

    Just got a new Kowa 773 and want to digiscope/phoneskope with it. I'm not a huge fan of the clunky phoneskope and found a universal well made Smartscope Vario built in Austria for Kowa.

    Sheep Tips and Tricks

    Research your intended area to hunt to the fullest extent you can, scout, look at maps, talk to your air service or other hunters, biologists, as much info as you can have.... I just got home from 10 day sheep hunt and although I tried, I failed to have all the info available to the area I...

    First time sheep hunter with a TMA tag

    Hunt was good, no sheep. Definitely an experience different from any other hunt I’ve been on. We only saw 8 sheep total all rams well under legal the biggest we saw was maybe 7/8 curl, we did not see one Lamb/ewe in the 10 days we hunted and saw 0 sheep on the fly in. Weather was not great high...

    First time sheep hunter with a TMA tag

    Dang, well I’ve heard this kind of disappointing news from multiple sources now, best we can do is hike our a$$’s off and see what we see. Worst case scenario we have a nice backpack trip and get to see some new country.... I did find a adfg report that confirmed low counts 7-8 years ago which...

    First time sheep hunter with a TMA tag

    We have 10 days to hunt but hopping we tag out sooner. I went with the mystery ranch beartooth 80 bag it may be a tad heavier and small for a 10 day hunt but it is super comfortable, the test will be when it’s loaded. Luckily my brother is tagging along as a packer

    From Maine

    Wow! What a story I can’t imagine losing vision in an eye and having the motivation and self discipline to relearn archery left handed. The comment about tinkering and finding something to blame on your compound is something I struggle with as well, Trad would fix that complex pretty quick. I...

    I did hear somewhere that if you boil them you can eat them? Might be helpful in a survival situation? Maybe keep some bullion cubes handy

    Almost Slit my Wrist with Havalon

    I like this discussion, been looking for a new lightweight knife for a sheep hunt, I am hesitant to try a havalon type blade. My dad who was a butcher for 20 years won’t touch a havalon or similar knives, he does everything and I mean almost everything with his buck 110
