What is everyone's favorite way to cook trout? We have a few in the freezer from our Yellowstone trip and we are going to try for some more that get stocked in a few lakes around here in the winter. Just wanting some ideas on how to cook them
Thank you for any recipes
Well looking at my W2 and my employer didn't have a separate column for my overtime. So I went back through every pay check and wrote down my OT premium. My job pays the 1/2 or double time as separate hours.
Example I work 60 hours for the week I will get paid 60 hours straight time and 20...
Looking at getting our first trailer to take some more outdoor trips in. We are looking at the Winnebago micro Minnie and a Nobo both dual axle models. Anyone have either of these brands good or bad of either?
When the hunt planner says so and so tag is good within the "blank" river drainage what does that mean? Like is there a written rule like half mile either side of the river? I have always wondered how it applies
Roger’s sporting goods has this ammo for $16.99 a box of 20 on sale. I bought 6 boxes and that gets you free shipping. Didn’t know if anyone likes this ammo but I thought it was a pretty good deal
My wife and I would like to do an ice fishing trip next year and looking for some advice on a state to go too and a guide or charter place. I saw that some places even rent cabins you can stay on the ice and fish out of. Anyone ever done a trip like that and have a good place they recommend...
I was going to make up some ring bologna this saturday. I haven't made it in years but have a couple kits to use up. My question is could I make it friday night and stuff everything put it in the fridge then smoke it saturday? Would that be ok? Or does it need to go straight to the smoker after...
So I picked up a Ruger American predator gen 1 in 22-250. This will be my ride around in the ranger checking traps and riding in the truck checking cows rifle. Do you think a 3-9x50 would be fine? Or should I go 4-12? I’d like to stay under $300 on a scope. Any suggestions?
The boy sold a steer and used part of his money to purchase his first rifle. A Howa 22-250. Hopefully he is able to get it in the next couple weeks. Being his first he has a waiting period. Now to decide what scope to get for it
So 20 years ago my friend won a drawing for some guns at a pheasant hunting dinner. Part of the prize was a "set" of 870 wing masters. He has a .410,28,20,16 and 12 gauge. All shotguns have never been shot and I am pretty sure he still has all the boxes for them. He has kicked around the idea of...
Well my son really enjoyed fishing Yellowstone and is wanting to get a fly rod and try it out. What type/brand should I be looking at for a good starter rod for trout fishing? I know nothing about fly fishing. Just figured with Christmas coming up. Might be good to get some research in
Thank...
What pants does everyone like fishing? I hate pants I wear shorts all the time and have to wear coveralls for work. In the winter I wear insulated bibs with jogging pants underneath. I’m looking for some light weight cool pants that flex and allow movement. My legs have gotten chewed up here in...
Well we made it to the area today and hunted hard but never seen a grouse. We did see a nice herd of elk with a really good bull so the kids got to see their first elk. Lots of antelope and a big old jack rabbit
That’s the good news. Get to Lander and the air b&b was a dump. The toilet was...
Does anyone here have an Air B&B? What all is involved and would it be worth it if you only had one property? Just an idea I have been kicking around. I CAN retire in 4 years but I will only be 49 so I was thinking of working 35 years and retire at 54. My wife likes where I lived as a little kid...
My son has been wanting to be able to get out and fish more. Pocked him up a nice little kayak. Took it to a little city lake local too us and he caught some nice crappie. Couple 13” and a 14” the one pic shows 12.5” but he couldn’t hold it straight and take a pic. The lake is stocked with...
I was walking around Scheels checking out rifles. I am in the market for a new .243. This will be a ride around shooting coyote rifle and used on deer and antelope. I looked over the Ruger American and it just didn't feel good. My son has Gen1 Ruger American we put into a Magpul stock and the...
I am looking at applying for this hunt this year and I had a few questions
One what was the shot distance?
Trying to decide if I should take my 7mm mag or get my 45-70 around and take it.
Also who did you use for a processor?
And did you come back and pick the meat up? I didn’t know if it...
Looking at spending a couple days in Yellowstone and my son would love to do a little fishing. He would love to catch a grayling. I just would like to be able to say we fished in Yellowstone. That being said we would be using spinning rods so looking for tips or ticks to catch a couple fish...
