    Processing Your Own Deer

    My method isn't even close to this. 1. During the field dressing process, cut around the bunghole instead of through the pelvic bone so I can hang the deer from the pelvis and not use a gambrel. 2. When the deer is hanging from the pelvic bone, I cut the skin along the inside of the hind legs...

    Chips are a bad idea.

    Using deer hunting as a modem of introduction to hunting for a youngster is probably NOT the best option. I started my daughter out with turkey, duck, and goose hunting. Motion and noise were not that big of a deal and birds are a bit more forgiving than deer. I could see the birds from a...

    How do you ice fish?

    Wind and species being chased dictate my methods. Nice days with sun and light wind after perch, no shelter. Wind up to 20 mph and chasing perch, a flip over. Wind over 20 and crappy weather or when I'm after snot rockets means I'm in my permanent.

    Our Ice Fishing Blunders

    Went out on early ice with a pop up 4X8 home made shak with 2 two trucks. Set up and everything was great until the shack moved a bit. When we tried to get out we realized the weight of two trucks pushed the ice down to the point the trucks slid on the ice, right to the door on the one side...

    Safe ice locations for this weekend?

    No such thing as "Safe Ice". However, most smaller lakes seem to have between 4 and 8 inches. Be Safe and check the whole darn way out and back. Unexpected ice baths......SUCK!!!!!!

    Boat price negotiation

    In any negotiation, your trump card is the ability to walk away from any deal. Good Luck!!!

    remember when...

    I'm not quite 50, but lots of those stories I remember having to do when I was a youngster as well. The open oven door, the wood stove heat that was either colder than ice or hotter than blazes. Wet shoes/liners/hats/gloves lined up under the wood stove to dry and coats hanging along side...

    frontal shots

    Will it kill a deer? Yep! Is it the best option? Nope! Frontal shots regardless of weapon used, normally result in the gut cavity being perforated and many times the bullet or arrow ends up in the hams. Field dressing gut shot deer is distasteful to say the least and marinading the meat in...

    Ocean water and dogs

    While stationed in Jacksonville Fl, the biggest concern with respect to a dog was the dog carrying sand and salt water into the car and destroying the interior. Dogs tend to taste the water and then leave it be. Call it instinct or whatever, but I've never seen a dog quench it's thirst in the...

    Anyone make pemmican?

    Sounds good, but what's the preservative? Seems humidity would rehydrate the stuff and microbes would grow without salt or something.

    New: Glo shot ice jig!

    You better be careful there Guy. You're dangerously close to losing your bungee cord sponsorship. They seem to be conspicuously absent in your list of possible attachment items.

    Ice Fishing Coats

    I think that stuff works too good as evidenced by the numerous melt marks and holes I've seen on many of these types of clothing items. I'd probably spring 79 bones for a water/wind proof jacket, but for the most part I'll stick with my carhartts. They go through buckbrush, cattails, trees...

    Snow

    Oh GOODIE!!!!! A fresh layer of snow over new ice. This should push safe ice back a bit. At least it will for me anyway.

    Semi sleeper

    Made a deer stand out of a semi sleeper and it was a HEAVY buggar. Much of the floor supports, at least in the one we used, was made of steel. The fiberglass in the walls and ceiling isn't the lightest either. We used 5/8ths inch plywood to cover the big opening, make a door, and put in a...
