    3/4 through The Man-Eaters of Tsavo and Other East African Adventures. Great simple fast-paced writing. A quick read but enjoyable.

    Thinking about getting a pellet grill

    I got Louisiana 1100 during the offseason from Costco for $400. Louisiana is Pit Boss’s luxury line. It hits an honest 600 degrees and has a sear station that breaks 1000. It fills all my needs to the point I got rid of everything else. From smoking briskets to seating tomahawk steaks, I do...

    Old Magazine Ads

    Meateater Podcast has mentioned an old ammo add that shows a hunter doing a grip and grin with a mountain gorilla. Anyone ever seen that one?

    Reposted in another ad please close

    I had a nearly identical setup in 308. It was the most accurate rifle I have ever owned. Easily and routinely shooting sub .5 MOA five shot groups with factory ammo. Hope this sells for you. Posting mostly to give you a bump.

    Question - hunting book for grandson

    I agree. You reading it first makes it special. I’d also take time to write him a note in the cover. A shared book on its own creates a bond. One shared between a grandson and grandad even more so.

    Not working for iPhone either.

    CVA accura sight recommendations

    The silver face helps. Also highly recommend spray painting the inside of the globe with high gloss white paint. I did that before gave up on the globe completely and while I prefer a post fiber optic, it helped a lot.

    Are tungsten turkey loads worth the money?

    I have a lot of Longbeard XRs. Care to trade for those TSSs? I’ll pay shipping. Premium ammo isn’t about ideal or perfect scenarios. Also, praising Longbeard XRs is actually a logical fallacy. If premium ammo like TSS is unnecessary and overly expensive, why compare it to the MOST premium...

    CVA accura sight recommendations

    I have played around with four sets of peeps over the years. My current setup is on a Accura LR. I have a Williams Ace In The Hole which is a pic rail with a built in peep. I am using the factory fiber optic sight. I gave up on globes. I found that I didn’t shoot it any better and had a hard...

    2025 gear game changer- wows!

    I second the Sig Zulu6 HDX Image Stabilizing Binoculars. Hard to explain how much of a game changer they are. Any loss of optical quality is gained in stabilization. Obviously, alpha glass on a tripod is better. But I have had them side by side with the higher end Meoptas and Swaros and free...

    Wanted: Tips and tricks for doing euros

    I’ll get some tomorrow. My experience is a long sous vide cook degreases much better than simmered. You can always do another lower heat clean water cycle after the pressure wash before the peroxide. Freshwater, more dishwasher detergent, and 24 hours at 125-130. It won’t cook the bones or...

    Wanted: Tips and tricks for doing euros

    Cheap cooler, immersion circulator (sous vide machine), dishwasher soap, 145 degrees for 36-48 hours, electric pressure washer with rotohead, 40x peroxide paste, let it sit for 2-3 days in the sun. About 30min hands on work. Looks like it belongs in a museum and no pots to watch. Never...

    A little humour for your day

    The Kansas Country Inn in Oakley, Kansas is still rocking them.

    Caitlin Clark finally

    I see you came back for the last word as predicted. Couldn’t “leave the thread alone” without taking a parting shot. “BS her and all the other women players cause?” Careful, your misogyny is peeking through that thin veil again.

    The evolution of a dream shop build. Eventually with pics.

    To echo a couple things here - the Newage Cabinets are awesome. Costco runs deals in them all the time and I did my large garage in all steel Newage for less than pressed wood cabinets at Menards. I did outlets in the ceiling and put up ceiling mounted reel/retractable extension cords. So...
