    Poaching near Northgate Dr

    It is illegal to hunt upon the premises of another within 440 yards (one- quarter mile) of any occupied building without the consent of the person occupying the building. This does not prohibit hunting on land owned by neighbors (private or public) even if the land is less than 440 yards...

    Ham in Sausage?

    Before I'd go all in on a batch of sausage, I'd cook some venison, heat up some ham, put them together, and find out if I even like the taste of the two meats together. That said, I don't think the combo would be bad at all. Good Luck and let us know how it turns out.

    Heart Shot Deer

    Not necessarily. The brisket is about 2 inches thick and if you only clip the bottom of it, it's like getting punched in the sternum. It hurts, but you can still run and your lungs are fine. Also, a lung shot would bleed quite a bit whereas a brisket shot would not. I could be all wrong on...

    Heart Shot Deer

    How did she run? Flat out sprint with tail tucked tight or did she bound a little with tail up or out flat? Did she whirl and run back to where she came from or did she kick and run in the direction she was facing? Did both shoulders/legs appear to be working while she was running? (This...

    So whats the rule

    Didn't say not to talk about it. I merely said there isn't an upside to these types of situations regardless of what is done and to be smart and extremely careful about what is posted. I'm well aware of the realities of hunting and that unfortunate events occur. I just don't think advertising...

    Favorite meals.

    My favorite meals are the ones my wife makes for me every day. I appreciate each and every one for the effort she puts into them and I tell her so. A simple "Thank You" to the women in out lives pays more dividends in the long run than can be counted in a lifetime. That said, I especially...

    So whats the rule

    There is no upside to discussing these types of situations. Any way you answer it gives the anti hunting groups more ammunition. Even if you do everything by the book, the anti's will say, "See, you wasted a deer!!" "Hunting should be banned!!" There is no correct answer. Let's be smart...

    Well its ~

    Going out on thin ice not only puts your life at risk, but the lives of those that will try to save your stupid ass if you fall through. No fish is worth someone's life. Think a bit before you act. Be Safe!!

    blind grass

    My blind camo process usually starts a week or so before the season when I cut down green cochia plants. I trim the plants so they are about 6 inches thick and flat on both sides. I slide these into the straps of my blind and zip tie them in. I cover the entire foot section of the blind, put...

    Deer Meat

    A good rule of thumb is just under 50% of the carcass weight (gutted) will be boneless meat for a white tail. If you use a band saw for your ribs you will obviously get more of a return weight, but bone is a bit hard to chew. I've gotten just under 80 lbs of meat from a BIG minnetucky buck...

    Trimming out venison for sausage

    This is the exact reason I season before the second grind. Also, I like to put some mustard seed in a couple batches to "Liven it up a bit", but not make it hot. Putting the mustard seed in prior to the second grind allows some of the seed to get crushed and mixed in the meat which evens out...

    Trimming out venison for sausage

    I don't worry about silver skin. Hair, blood shot meat, glands, and major tendons are out. Example: The whole round gets cut up into chunks and ground up for sausage. I don't trim out the silver skin in any of it. I medium grind the pork and venison, mix in the spices, and then regrind at...

    Land in 2G for youngsters to rifle hunt.

    The stands are covered, but open all the way around so the cold and wind is still a factor, but much reduced. However, if you bring a good wool blanket or two, or a quiet sleeping bag to wrap up in, it's not bad. The key is to have material that's quiet when moving around. That's just part of...

    New Pole Barn is Up - Lighting Suggestions/Options Needed

    What my buddy did is mount a 1/2 inch hinge or so to the wall and used a steel rod as the support. the rod is about 13-15 ft long. The rod is bent at a 90 degree angle and slid into the hinge. He mounted a 4 ft florescent light to the wall side and an 8 ft light to the end. He then used hose...

    Land in 2G for youngsters to rifle hunt.

    V probably has to put the OK on you before you can PM. Not a big deal. We have time. If in the next couple days your PM privileges don't start up, I'll drop a note to V and see what's up. Don't worry, I got you penciled in for the last weekend. The middle weekend is open too if you would...

    Mexican Massacre ND ties

    Something doesn't add up here. Whacking innocents for no reason is a sure fire way to get the HEAVY HEAT brought down on you. Gangs know this, Outlaw bikers know this, The Mob knows this, and even the low life despicable drug cartels know a display of violence like this is BAD for business. I...
