    Which wild game meat tastes the best?

    So I've been listening to a lot of MeatEater podcasts lately and the host Steve has gotten me thinking that I should be trying different kinds of game meat. He's eaten it all and says things like mountain lion is really good to eat. So if you had to rank North American animals (other than...

    Advanced Sausage Making

    Have been doing some reading lately about processing meat. I have four deer and one moose to eat this year. So I started reading about sausage making. One of the things I don't like about venison sausage is that it tends to be dry. I am finding out a lot of the reason why is because the...

    Aging game meat

    I've been doing some reading about how to process moose. Most of the internet agrees that it should be hung at a proper temperature and aged 10-14 days. Thats what I want to do. So I called Butcher Block meats to ask them if they would age it if we brought it in. They said that if you age...

    Trigger Replacement

    After shooting my new 30-06 a lot this summer, I began to realize that my old Remington 700 6mm doesn't have nearly as good of a trigger. It never bothered me before but after I got use to a good trigger, it kind of bothers me. So I was thinking of replacing the trigger on the old 6mm. I have...

    Need advise on how to shoot a rifle

    My son has a couple of big hunts this fall, moose and the youth deer tag. The problem is that he's not a very good shot. I've been trying to go out to the range at least once a week this summer and shooting at gophers. We shoot about a box or two of 30-06 (reduced load) or 6mm when we go out...

    How to catch big walleye on the Missouri River

    Please tell me. I've been fishing on the river for many years. The biggest that I have every caught is maybe 7 lbs. I've caught a lot of fish but never the big one. Where does a person catch a big walleye on the river and with what? We do what works to catch fish but apparently not the big...

    Shooting reduced recoil 30-06

    I thought I would give a report on my experience shooting a reduced recoil load for my 30-06. I am pretty new to reloading and so I'm learning a lot of new things about shooting. I needed another gun for fall hunting because all of my kids now like deer hunting. I went with a 30-06 just in...

    I need help finding a place to fish

    I would like to surprise my daughter and take her out fishing tomorrow (Monday). My only choice is shore or canoe. She would really like to catch fish.

    Kind of cool seeing this here

    Saw this young moose right by the rifle range south of Bismarck. I can't believe how common it is getting to be to see moose this far south in North Dakota.

    What kind of fish is this?

    I was fishing on the Missouri River and caught this. I said it was a quillback sucker. It was the biggest that I have seen, 24 inches. I took a picture and released it. Back at the dock, we got stopped by the game warden checking for licenses. I asked him to identify it. He laughed and...

    Camping near Rapid City

    Does anybody have any recommendations on where to camp with a tent, primitive or not, within 30 minutes or so of Rapid City? Gonna be going there the first weekend of June for a soccer tournament. Close access to fishable waters and hiking trails is a bonus.

    Wild Wild Country

    I've watched the first three episodes of Wild Wild Country on Netflix. Anybody watch this yet? Holy crap, the similarities of the what happened in Antelope, Oregon in the 1980's and the DAPL protesters in North Dakota is stunning. The arrogance, mindlessness, cruelty and hypocrisy of these...

    Venison Tiger Meat

    Anybody every tried making tiger meat with venison? I did last night. Turned out really good. Raw venison by itself is much better tasting than cooking it. I'll let you know tomorrow if I spend the night in the bathroom or ER.

    How light is too light for a rifle?

    I'm looking at getting a new gun, maybe a 30-06 or a 308. Are the Tikka Lites too light of a gun for a 30-06? It would be a gun that my kids would use so I also don't want to go too heavy. I will be reloading so I know that I could reload lighter loads for them. The Tikkas are around 6.5...

    Field dressing a deer

    About 3 years ago I started quartering the deer in the field rather than bringing them home and tying up in the garage. It is so much easier to skin and quarter in the field than it is to hang them. Plus you can fit everything in a cooler and put on ice right away so you don't have to worry...

    Deer hunting around Finley, Cooperstown

    I drove back from Grand Forks to Bismarck last week and took the scenic route through Finley and Cooperstown. Just from driving on the highway, one thing that stood out to me is that I saw very few 'no hunting' signs and it looked like great deer country. I got to thinking that maybe next year...
