Thawing, cutting, then Refreezing
I do it plenty, also, if I find I have no ground left, but a ton of roasts or round steaks, I will take them out to grind. Also plenty of times I’ve hung elk quarters, and they’ve frozen overnight. Never seen any negative results in one refreeze- runningmt

Probably a little overthinking… 7mm-08
Those CX’s in my 7mm-08 were minute-of-car door at best. Try something different. -

My Two-year HOWA Experiment
Such a shame that the 6.8 Creedmoor Ackley Improved Short Mag with a 37.5” barrel didn’t make the cut. -
Mtn Goat Meat Yield?
Got a nice big Billy last year, kind of surprised at the meat yield…..I would compare it to an average whitetail, give or take. They spend the summer gorging on grass, flowers, and forbs…..they are mostly guts by September.- runningmt

Burgess Shotgun 3, Ruffed Grouse 0
Very cool! New, modern shotguns are ok. When you bag a limit, you’re proud to own it. Old, unique shotguns are self-fulfilling, even when you get skunked, you’re proud to own it. Just spending time with it is a pleasure. Great scattergun, thanks for sharing- runningmt

Ruger or Savage
I bought my son a Ruger American in 7mm-08 in a youth model, turned out to be one of the most accurate rifles in my gun cabinet. He’s moved on to a different gun, but I liked it so much I bought a aftermarket stock for it, and I’ve been using it the past two years. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy... -

Off subject, but did you happen to see Son Volt play at Red Ants? Really wanted to see them, couldn’t make it. Oh, and Slow Elk is seasonal, comes out right around General Season if my slippery memory serves me.- runningmt

Soon there will be no escape
When I’m out recreating, I always put my phone in airplane mode. I can keep my bearings and navigate with OnX and GoHunt (currently have both, can’t decide on which one I like more), but I’m not bothered by the constant emails, texts, and calls that bombard me every day. I do use an InReach...- runningmt

Stop grinding shanks
Did a wet brine of equal parts kosher salt and sugar, a bunch of onions, garlic and pepper. I believe I did a 10 day brine, not worried about saltiness considering I would be braising the shanks before pulling the meat. I don’t recall exact amounts of ingredients, but a wet brine is pretty...- runningmt
