    Big 3 Lottery

    I have been looking at lottery numbers in other states and it got me thinking about our own Big 3 draw stats and if there would be a better way to increase odds. If you could only apply for one of the three each year, which would you choose, Elk, Moose or Bighorn Sheep? I was going to post...

    Prosciutto?

    Always liked prosciutto, but rarely buy it, so decided to try and make it. Stage one is in the cooler for 30 days, then hang until about 20%-25% of the weight is lost, seal it up and hang again for another 6-9 months. Let the waiting begin, actually not sure it will be easy to wait that long!!!

    Landowner Respect or maybe it's just not common sense anymore?????

    I've been pissed all day and usually don't rant publically but can't seem to let it go today for some reason, maybe turning 60 does that to a guy? Helped put a "person" in touch with a landowner to try to help them fill their elk tag. Landowner helped out, said he would even help load it if...

    Another great bear season

    We had another great Minnesota bear hunt this year, after my daughter's big one last year we had something to shoot for, we didn't top hers but had a blast. We always hunt over baits but once in a while when traveling between baits checking them you see the odd bear, that's how I got mine this...

    Walk-in cooler?

    I have been thinking of making a walk-in cooler and I actually have everything I need to build one except for the cooling unit. When cleaning out my dad's garage I came across two window AC units, one fairly new. Been researching on how to use this to cool the walk-in and I came across a...

    My cousin was by Jamestown yesterday and saw a huge snow goose feed so drove over by it and found them feeding in a bean field that was covered with corn cobs, said it looked like someone had taken a dump truck and covered areas of the field with corn cobs. It was posted "conservation plot open...

    Powder Storage

    Was reloading over the weekend and got to thinking about powder storage, because when I get bored I reload? Is it better to keep the powder in the original container and load as you need it or is it okay to load a bunch of rounds and keep the powder that way? Or is it completely irrelevant...

    Camper Re-model

    I've been kicking around getting an older pull-type camper and remodeling it into a hunting camper. Has anyone out there done this and if so what kind of changes did you do? If not, what do you think would be a good addition/deletion to make a camper more hunter friendly. With everything...

    Ballistic Gel

    First attempt at making ballistics gel. Wasn’t hard, learned that I need a much bigger batch if I’m going to attempt this for a centerfire, cost under $10 to make. Shot my 9mm and 45 into it at about 10 yards, it did go through but didn’t really penetrate the dirt. Shot 12 rounds through it and...

    I just purchased a Savage Axis II XP, heavy barrel, accutrigger, 6.5 CM with a bushnell 4x12x40 scope (which I plan to change once it arrives), found it new for $275 so thought what the heck. From what I have read the reviews all seemed pretty good, does anyone on here have one? If so, what...

    Hunting Dog Injuries

    I have had German Shorthairs for 30+years, you always have injury issues with hunting dogs, it just happens. I had the worst one two weeks ago and thought for sure the outcome would be the worst with hopefully just a lost eye, but with the work of a great vet and a dog that let us treat her we...

    White Hot Powder??

    My brother in law and I both decided to switch to these powder pellet this year along with putting a scope on the muzzleloaders, what a mistake! We both cannot hit the broad side of a barn with them, no consistent groups and some shots not even hitting a two foot square and this is shooting...

    What kind of knife is this?

    Okay, I have look all over for months to find out ANY information on this knife, and have struck out every time. Anyone out there know what it is for, who may have made it, etc. I was thinking something maybe for grabbing ice blocks and chopping ice, but that has gotten me no where.
