    Hunting in Colorado's Drought

    No, it's Banded Peak Ranch. Run by Frank Simms and Randy Slaughter of Rio Brazos Outfitters. It's in Chromo, Co Turn at the old post office and go up the road 8 miles to the Ranch gate. The Navajo River runs next to that road. Not the Tierra Amarilla but I do still consider myself lucky. It's a...

    Good Venison Recipe

    Sounds good. Never thought about the combination of shrimp and venison. Surprised it doesn't call for garlic. Might have to give it a try. Thanks.

    “I don’t want you hunting this outfit.”

    I carry some of my business cards in my wallet. When I have to leave the carcass, I put one of my cards in his mouth and push it as far into the throat as I can. Also taking pictures with time stamp before I leave.

    Hunting in Colorado's Drought

    I hunt on a private ranch in that area (I think it is in the same area you are speaking of). The Navajo River runs down the middle of the ranch. I haven't spoken to anyone there to see if the river is still viable. I watch the weather in that area daily and hope to see some rain in Northern NM/...

    Good time to clean out freezers and take stock

    When I pick it up at the processor, it is already frozen and the dry ice keeps it that way until I get home. But you are right, you don't want it in a pile in the freezer if it isn't frozen.

    Good time to clean out freezers and take stock

    I bought some nylon mesh laundry bags with a zipper. They are very sturdy and hold a lot. I put the different cuts of meat in separate bags, steaks, roasts, ground, and backstrap/tenderloin. I just grab the bag that contains the cut of meat I want and remove what I need. Easy to keep track of...

    Carp!

    Never seen one. But, I mostly fish in the marsh and local lakes. Specs and redfish are mostly what I catch (and hardhead catfish).

    Elk bullet in Grizzly country

    Swift A-Frame would be my choice if 1- You can find them, and 2- If they shoot well out of your rifle. They are built like the Nosler Partition but are bonded and will hold together better than a non-bonded bullet.

    Gear Upgrades

    I know the feeling. Used to be people would make fun of me because I didn't remember to zip up after going to take a P. Now I can't remember to unzip before I go. Sure makes more of a mess and the large wet spot in my pants is more noticeable too. It's terrible to get old, but better than the...

    Boot delima

    My Salomon Quest were horrible in the waterproof dept. Feet would get wet walking through wet grass. They were comfortable enough, but sole wore down quickly. I wore them everyday (LEO Uniform). When my last pair wore out I didn't buy any more.

    Pooping in the Woods - A question of thresholds

    My Swaro EL Range would for sure be lost forever. A report to the Insurance company for the "burglary" would help recover some of the loss.

    Pooping in the Woods - A question of thresholds

    It's a good thing no one had the runs and went in that poop shoot while he was down there.
