    Term limits

    I agree, term limits are not the solution logic would suggest they are. Congress was originally seen as a "service", not a career. There is so much money and power up for grabs, though, that I can't see any way to keep the greedy and grasping at bay. I've always said, mostly in jest, that we...

    Montana evidence of sex law

    If this were true, you would never have to produce your license either, on the chance that it may not be valid. Of course, the easy remedy here is to know the law and follow it. You can't incriminate yourself for a crime you did not commit. Yes, I know, the wardens are all out to get you and...

    Dream Processing Setup

    At least one really large chest freezer, two refrigerators, all the counter space you can get, a big kitchen table and good chairs for final processing (hair and connective tissue removal, cleanup before wrapping, etc), a separate area for knife sharpening, a sturdy enough hoist/gambrel setup to...

    What would you cook for 20 people?

    There are ways of easing people in to venison because, really, it does not and should not taste like beef or pork. All I am saying is don't go all Sweeney Todd on people and try to "fool" them into eating something they don't choose to eat. I would stack up my venison chops or braised loin with...

    What would you cook for 20 people?

    I would go with something that is very obviously venison, not something that hides the flavor with strong seasonings or sauces. If you have time, bresaola is pretty spectacular and easy to relate to, and almost nobody that tries it with an open mind will reject it. If you don't have that much...

    Butchered my first deer

    I have butchered dozens of deer, and there are a few key points to remember: To take a deer apart, first look carefully at how it is put together. You don't need a saw on a deer. Ever. TAKE YOUR TIME. There are no points for speed. Keep everything cold, and work with manageable pieces. Have...

    Tenderloin - Not Backstrap.... It is always tough!

    I never use them as chops (there are no "steaks" on a properly butchered deer, ya redneck!), because they are lacking in character and too small, even butterflied. What I do with tenderloins is cut them into chunks, season lightly with salt, pepper, and rosemary, sear them a bit, cook up a bunch...

    Black bear recipes

    Cut a chunk of loin, put it in a baking dish, add an envelope of onion soup mix, a bit of ground dried rosemary, a can of Campbells Cream of Mushroom (I know. Pedants stand down, please.) and a splash of red wine and put it in a 350 degree oven to an internal temp of 145 (30-45 minutes or so...

    Sausage Basics

    There are different goals involved there. Drying for a day or so in the refrigerator is to get the surface fully dry and form a pellicle, which improves the penetration of smoke. If the surface of your sausage is wet, the smoke dissolves into the surface water, forming a nasty version of liquid...

    Is it like this every year?

    The first step is admitting you have a problem. Hi, my name is Kevin and I'm a hunting junkie. My first deer season was 45 years ago and it hasn't let up yet. Welcome to the rest of your life.

    Of Interest to Anyone Who Spends Time in Bear Country

    Fascinating article. Thank you very much for linking it. I have always suspected that there was something pretty hinky about the tired old statistics that everyone uses.

    Red Flag Confiscation Orders

    Okay, suppose for a moment that there is good protection for the owner to get his guns back (There should be an automatic full return in 30 days or some such arbitrary timeline. I don't know, maybe there is). Now suppose further that I am a Colt collector, and I have a display case with a dozen...

    MONTANA LANDOWNER WINS ROAD ACCESS LAWSUIT

    So, because the road was "an overgrown two-track", nobody uses it? I suppose some folks might take this as an indictment of the entire "leave no trace" ethos. If the people who use that road had rutted it up and left a lot of damage, it might still be open. But of course, money talks. Now the...

    Handling Trichinosis prone meats

    The cysts will be throughout on an infected animal, so just don't switch critters without cleaning your equipment. Good hygiene will take care of transfer, if you are transferring cysts you are not clean enough and you are transferring a lot of other stuff too.
