    Tanning Rabbit Hides

    I recently started hunting Cottontail rabbit and want to preserve the fur, looking for some advice since my first two attempts were unsuccessful. I am brand new to this, please forgive the ignorance. I followed a youtube tutorial where you cover the skin in salt for 1-2 days, scrape off salt and...

    Do I need 4WD? How Capable is Subaru Outback?

    The threaded bolt you reference is intended to be used for controlled, straight in-line towing. It is not meant for angled dynamic recovery on a stuck vehicle. It may be fine as a last resort but I will not rely on it.

    Squirrel Fever!

    I tried this recipe last night with a few pine squirrels and it was delicious, way better than frying in my opinion. Thank you BrentD!

    Bullet Fragmenting?

    I sure do have a lot to learn. I only chose this ammunition because I have been struggling to find any other “high quality” hunting ammunition locally. This weekend will be my last opportunity before the hunt to zero in my optic with different ammunition. As an inexperienced shooter, I don’t...

    Squirrel Fever!

    Tenderize with a fork, soak in buttermilk, dredge in flour, fry. I really enjoyed it but I have never tried squirrel any other way so I don't have anything to compare it to.

    Bullet Fragmenting?

    Does this make the shot less lethal? There is no muzzle brake on this rifle.

    Bullet Fragmenting?

    I was on an outdoor range shooting Hornady Precision Hunter (308 178 gr ELD-X) out of a Tikka T3X Lite at 200 yards, paper target on a stand made of poster board and wood. I found what appears to be a bullet fragment stuck in the poster board, it made a hole in the paper much larger than a...

    Do I need 4WD? How Capable is Subaru Outback?

    OP here, wanted to provide an update after 5 months of testing my Subaru’s capabilities in case anyone else is in a similar situation. The Subaru is more capable than I anticipated but I feel it belongs on paved roads, there was a noticeable smell (I think from the transmission being...

    How to Keep a Dog Warm?

    My dog and I spend as much time outside as possible but we only have 1 Colorado winter under our belts (we just moved from Georgia in 2019). It is good to know his cold tolerance may improve over time, I had not considered this. I understand neoprene is a great insulator while submerged in...

    How to Keep a Dog Warm?

    This is a question related to mid/late season big game hunting with dogs… I have a German Shepherd (short but thick coat) that usually joins me on all outdoor adventures. I used to do a lot of hiking all throughout winter and the cold never seemed to bother him as long as we kept moving. Now...

    Squirrel Fever!

    I am very eager for hunting season to open next month, so much so that I find myself reminiscing of the fun I had last year. Don’t have many friends that hunt so I figured I would share my excitement with the forum. Here are a few pictures from my first squirrel hunt, I used Steven Rinella’s...

    Blisters, Feet & Foot problems

    The goHUNT team just recently posted a video on Youtube “Tips for Tying Hunting Boots - Lace to Fit Your Feet”. Almost every boot I have ever owned has given me heel blisters after 5+ miles of hiking, looking forward to trying some of these lacing techniques to hopefully alleviate this issue, I...
