    Who's your favorite "Muppet"????

    I was talking with my daughter today at pizza ranch and the muppets came up in the conversation. She, of course, had NO IDEA what I was talking about so I did my best to explain "The Muppet Show". My favorite muppet is Animal. How can you go wrong with a drummer on High Caffeine and Crack...

    Breaking in a shot gun

    To truly break in a shotgun and remove that all to recognizable "New Gun Smell", one must baptize the new gun in a slough or other similar body of water AND get at least a teaspoon of dirt shoved in the barrel that one must use a chunk of cattail, stick, or other vegetable matter to clean out...

    Bow Accuracy - When do you call it good?

    IMO, practice never ends. Overconfidence is just as bad as underconfidence (if that's a word). I feel comfortable in a hunting situation when I can put 4 out of 5 arrows into a tennis ball sized circle at 20 yards. I really don't like shooting more than 30 yards, even though I know my bow can...

    How big and how small of walleye do you keep?

    Broad shouldered 14's up to 20 is my target size. However, when those 28's hammer that crank bait and the last treble is buried in the throat, that one gets filleted too. The bigger fish don't taste as good as them little'ins, but they go really well in salads or fish tacos where you have some...

    My 401k hurts

    It'll feel lots better when the govt. takes control of all the 401k's. It's the LAST pot of money they haven't pilfered yet........but I suspect it's coming.

    Any sausage making tips?

    It's really your choice ItemB. I usually smoke my sausage until it reaches 165-170 degrees, then vac pac, and freeze. I have also put some in the smoker for an hour or so, then vac pac and freeze. It just depends on what kind of product you want to make and what the end use will be. Example...

    A thank you

    I opened the auto doors at fleet farm today and a whole herd of people from ages 8 to 70 walked right in and not one of them said "Thank You". Now I'm bummed. :(

    Any sausage making tips?

    8 hour smoke for just about everything, but I only put smoke on the sausage for the first two hours or so. The sausages seem to form a sealed surface by then and adding more smoke doesn't seem to add more flavor. It just cools of the smoker and meat when you open the door which then takes...

    Any sausage making tips?

    If you are going to use non-edible casings, you will have an easier time getting the casing off clean if you "Shock" the sausage in ice water or a good snow bank as soon as you remove it from the smoker. When we didn't "Shock" the summer sausage, you would get the outer skin of the sausage...

    Jig molds

    You're only talking about 4.6875 lbs of lead @ $1 per lb, a $40 mold, $3 worth of hooks, and time. $48 worth of materials for 200 jigs comes out to 24 cents a jig. You can buy jigs for 20-25 cents a jig at most online stores if you look for the sales. You may be better off just ordering...

    Goose opener

    In the 3 years I've hunted geese, yes only 3 years, I have learned only one hard and fast fact about geese. THE GEESE ARE NEVER WRONG!!!! If they see something they don't like, they slide, flare, hold short, or just keep going. When birds don't finish, it is my humble opinion, that the...

    Already Started MY Trapping Season!!!!!

    I have a hard time using poison. The damn chickens seem to find everything in the yard that even "Mildly Resembles Food" and it's GONE. If a chicken gets into a covered trap, at least I can have a bowl of chicken soup at the end of the day. I just thought is was pretty funny that my first...

    Already Started MY Trapping Season!!!!!

    Had a critter digging holes around the foundation of my shop so I decided to kick off my trapping season. I used a 1.5 Victor long spring in front of the most heavily used entrance. I didn't think I needed to cross stake the trap, so I just used a single 18 inch rebar stake and covered the set...

    Honker mount ideas

    My condolences on you loss. My prayers to all involved for strength. A big "Bull" standing tall, watching over and protecting his family might be a nice looking and fitting tribute as well.
