    Average/preferred whitetail rifle weight for blind/stand hunting

    8.5lbs. Barrel no longer than 22. Straight comb stock. STD cal. 8-8.5 is heavy enough to be steady on the shooting rail but light enough to handle easily if I need to shoot without a rest. Not too much recoil. Straight comb in case I am taking a shot and not able to get my rifle squared up. I...

    I'm Trying to Decide on a New All Around Rifle.

    Tikka would be my choice between the two. Not that much more $ over the Ruger. 270 is a good choice of chamberings. I have a few different ones and love my 7mm08 as I mostly hunt eastern whitetail but I think of my 270 as my all purpose do anything grab while falling off a cliff rifle.

    Plate ‘em up

    Easter: I had planned on venison but I found a good deal on some lamb chops. I went with 3 courses. A platter of Fresh Mozzarella, roasted peppers , olives and prosciutto. Then some Mushroom Risotto and last Lamb Chops and creamed spinach.

    Kitchenaid Stand Mixer maintenance

    Not to get off track but what do you use them so much for? I bought one about 12 years ago and I think I used to twice to make cookies and about twice a year for making zucchini noodles.

    Making Burger what went wrong?

    Me either I been grinding once for 40 years. To each his own but I just make sure the meat is semi frozen or very close too it when it goes in the grinder. I don’t add any additional fat to my basic grind either the last 30 years. Again to each his own. If the OPs meat looked the same coming...

    I gotta quit drinking.

    You think it’s a problem and people close to you think it’s a problem. It is a problem. I was a heavy drinker years ago for a long time. From age 27-50. It did not cause me people problems, job problems or legal problems. But I spend too much money on it and it wasn’t good for my health. As I...

    Yes , he is a bit of a downer. The son , Tate is picking up the slack where the whiner wife left off. I don’t see it being hit for me.

    Best all arround scope

    The 2.5-8 is one of my favorites for my eastern woods whitetail hunting. The other one is the 3.5-10x40. I have an older Swaro in 3-10x42 that I like but my VX3s are more clear for my eyes.

    I use an RTIC 30 soft side. Its light, hold ice or ice packs well downside its a little harder to unzip and get open than a hard cooler. I used a small igloo marine cooler for a long time. I couldn't find one after my last one crapped out

    Home-Built Walk-In Cooler?

    Cool bot is what I have seen used. I haven't heard any issues with them. I think the biggest thing is to plan how you will get the deer in the cooler. Nice to have a rail to move it from skinning or field dressing area into the cooler. But not completely necessary.
