    Soaking Meat in Fridge

    Everything I've read about aging meat is that it's all about temperature. Too cold and the bird freezes, which just preserves it the way it is. Too warm, and the bird starts harboring nasty microbes that can make you sick. If you have access to a small dorm fridge, you can buy an aftermarket...

    Worst shooting day ever....

    I am by no means a lights-out shooter, but I've improved exponentially after one big change: I got a new shotgun. Now hear me out, because I know what you're thinking, "right, buying a new gun is going to fix everything. Sure it will." Actually no, that's not why I improved. It's because I...

    Soaking Meat in Fridge

    I soak my birds in water for an hour or two. Usually that's after a few water changes. That's just to prepare it for the freezer. If I do any brining, it's the day of cooking/smoking and usually involves a mixture of salt, sugar, water and seasonings.

    Sailfish from a kayak video

    I liked the sailfish selfie at the end.

    Did you shoot any geese today?

    Heading out in the a.m. for ducks, but won't bypass the wayward goose. If I'm successful, I'll drop you a note.

    Migration

    I follow the "hunting reports" that Ducks Unlimited posts with a certain trepidation. It's open access, so anyone can post. Lots of folks saying birds are nonexistent now in ND, but there's the odd duck who is having luck. But regardless, I can't kill them on the couch. Will be sitting in a...

    It's getting better out there

    That, plus phez season is in full swing and it's one week closer to deer opener. All signs point to "POSTED."

    It's getting better out there

    Don't bother field hunting because ever pit and puddle is going to be pounded at first light. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em!

    You guys ever eat road kill?

    I crockpotted 7 pheasant breasts yesterday and then shredded the meat. Half was used to make enchiladas, and the rest is for whatever. My 2-year-old isn't keen on spicy food (can't blame him) but he had seconds and thirds of the shredded pheasant. Made me one proud papa.

    How thick do you like the ice to be before you start walking out and fishing?

    I don't have the ice fishing sickness like some folks, so I tend to wait until there's 8 inches or more. Just a mental thing. I always hear horror stories about freak thin ice, so the way I figure it, the more ice in general, the last chance of hitting those off-chance thin areas.

    Rut

    I'm not dissuading the relevancy of the term, just the fact that the speaker stated it was a tough time to hunt bucks because they wouldn't travel far. As I said, in most states or on private land that's probably applicable. In North Dakota where hunters get antsy immediately and are doing...

    Rut

    "Lockdown" is hilarious. Probably applicable in some areas, but not where I'm at. At 12:01 the pushers start (only reason I know is because I start seeing deer about 15 minutes later) and anything "Locked down" is going to bust loose and head for the hills...or they'll be dead.

    It's getting better out there

    That's because they're dry as a popcorn fart. Good freeze coming tonight. Low in the 20s. Should be interesting to see what ducks are at my honey hole slough come Sunday morning.

    Dog Allergies

    My GWP had chronic ear infections on Purina Pro Plan. Switched to NutriSource high performance and they cleared up. He'll still get the occasional one, usually right after the first hunt or two of the season, but the are much more infrequent now. Before switching, he was getting an ear infection...

    Why UND is better than NDSU

    I endorse you doing this 100 percent. Let us know how it turns out.

    It's getting better out there

    Good to see. Been hearing lots of grumblings about how the big wind blew all the locals out, but I have my suspicions there are more to take their place...

    Rut

    Every year, without exception, there is rut signs in the woods we hunt. The activity is what varies. Some years the bucks are dumb as bricks. Other years they are on high alert. I think it correlates to temperature just as much as all the other factors.

    You guys ever eat road kill?

    When I was a wee lad (16 or so) I got my dream/nightmare job working retail for Gander Mountain. Other than getting a few deals here and there, I retained zero practical skills other than earning a bit more respect for the more schmucks behind the counter, and retail managers all have...

    Rifle Season 2015

    I hunt with four other guys, and for the first time since 2002 we all pulled rifle tags...and not a single one was buck. No big deal, I just know we'll see a ton of bucks this year now. Murphy's Law. I did grab a bow tag just in case some Slobasaurus Rex meanders past my spot after the...
