    Talk me into a Sous Vide

    I got one about two years ago. I like it, but it's not my go to way to cook anything. I prefer the flavor I get from traditional methods, and I have a hard time getting a good sear after I take the meat out of the bag. It has basically been steaming itself and the surface is very wet. I have...

    What Chainsaw Do You Run?

    Have ran a stihl ms310 for a number of years now. My parents heat their house with firewood and I cut a lot of hardwoods; oak, blackjack, etc and I can not complain one bit about that saw. Keep the blades sharp and it burns through a trees worth of felling, limbing, and cutting rounds like it's...

    Tri-tip Steak

    I have found myself cooking a fair bit of it lately because the grocery store I buy my produce from sells prime beef tri-tip for $7.99 a pound and I pretty much can't walk past it. I came across a pretty good recipe for instructions and use my own tastes in seasonings. Start with a 30 minute...

    2020 Colorado Deer and Elk Non Resident Apps Poll

    I have a feeling a lot of the elk has to do with all the people having to put in the draw instead of OTC in the Southwest portion of the state.

    Friday Music on Tuesday - R.I.P John Prine

    Sad night in my house. Probably one of the younger guys around here that's been listening to him my entire life thanks to my parents and my life long best friend's parents exposing us to great music. When I heard he had covid, I knew it probably wouldn't be good.

    Colorado mule deer best unit 9 Resident points?

    Nope, all the odds are what it took to draw the previous year. They do have draw trends where you can see how much the unit has been creeping in the last few years, but no predictions for the coming year. It would be virtually impossible to forecast what points units will take the next two...

    Colorado mule deer best unit 9 Resident points?

    I'd be looking at tags that took 7 points to draw in last years draw if I had 9 going in this year. There will be point creep in any decent unit this year and next year. I'd be extremely surprised if you could pull a 55 4th tag this year. There was only one tag left at the 9 point level last...

    bighorn neck meat uses?

    I typically will braise neck meat from any wild game and then shred it for either tacos, nachos, or pulled/shredded bbq sandwiches. I change my braising liquid depending on what the end result is going to be. Hank Shaw has a really good braised taco recipe I like.

    5-Year Big Game Season Structure alternatives

    I don't know how unregulated OTC can be considered herd management in any way other than blind luck. I think the thick timber in much of the state really helps them out here. I don't really mind the landowner tag deal so much. A lot of the private land is winter range habitat that allows these...

    5-Year Big Game Season Structure alternatives

    If it is about herd health, they need to do OTC with caps by DAU. Letting thousands of people buy OTC tags and then having no idea when or where they are hunting doesn't really lend itself to quality herd management. It's almost as ridiculous as Montana allowing everybody and their dog to hunt...

    “Long range”/ smokeless muzzleloaders

    I had Luke build a gun for me back around 2013 or so on an old 700 muzzleloader action with a mcgowen 45 cal barrel, savage breach plug, and the bolt nose kit to hold a 209 primer in the end of the bolt. Mine absolutely wads up Parker match 300 grainers. I talked to him not long ago when I was...

    Donating Meat - What are your thought?

    We have a hunters for the hungry program here where the state pays for the processing fee. All the meat it turned into burger. We have a special "doe days" rifle hunts late in the year that are aimed specifically at reducing populations. I typically will go out and take two does, one for my...

    unit 57/58 colorado elk 1st sea rifle?

    I have never hunted it, but have spent some time in the unit. I don't remember running in to any surprise gates, but you will need to have onX or be good with a map to know where you are. There is quite a bit of private in both units, but more so 58. I think if you look at the success rates and...

    Shout Out to Alaska Airlines Counter Staff in Kodiak

    They have a great staff at that facility. We had a LATE night after getting back into Kodiak from hunting and rolled into the airport less than 30 minutes before our flight was to depart. We had 16 checked bags counting all the meat boxes, camping gear, and a couple gun cases. Made it on our...
