Ruger American trigger
No need for smith just get a trigger scale. Use the link Sheltowee gave or search. My wife’s Rugar American trigger adjusted pretty easily. For a inexpensive rifle the trigger was crisp and works well. If uncomfortable tough can ask a smith to adjust. -

243 energy
My wife has taken several deer with her 243 win. One was a spine but all of the others were heart shots. Most dropped one had a short trail. Several does, smaller buck, and one large bodied 8 point. 2 were shot using 100 grain federal factory soft point. The rest were with 85 grain Barnes... -

#$%^$ beavers
Check your game regs first. I think most states it’s illegal to shoot a beaver. You can trap them in most states with proper license.- Jnasa

Fly rod info needed
It depends on what his primary target species would be. I’d suggest a 5 or 6 weight rod for trout. I think the 5 weight is a bit more forgiving to learn on. The 6 weight gives more versatility though if you want to cast streamers or possibly target bass also. I recommend a 9 foot 4 piece...- Jnasa

How many bullets for backpack elk hunt?
I generally take what my rifle holds in the mag (4 usually) plus a holder with 10 rounds. It’s been a very long time since I’ve needed more than 2. But I like having extra in case. Never know if your scope gets bumped and need to re zero. Or maybe things go south. -

Plate ‘em up
Squash soup. Cooked the squash on pellet grill. Then added with onion, garlic, stock and seasonings. Simmered awhile then puréed. Topped with some venison Andoullie. I actually liked it. A good way to use some winter squash.- Jnasa
