    Gas Grill Gripe.

    I am looking as well. My next project is in Canada and I just started ‘very low carb’ carnivore diet. I want a cooker/smoker, a vacuum sealer, sausage stuffer and a meat grinder. But what is really needed is a consensus. Every discussion on every site is just like this one. They are all full...

    How to questions

    I have not hunted elk the last 10 years or so since I moved to Alaska, but, I never hunted travel routes. I moved a lot, bumped them and followed them. Never worried a lot about being too quiet either. Elk are loud, they expect some noise. I toot on a cow call every now and then as I stumble...
