    Fat / Silver Skin / Connective Tissue

    I've been processing all of my own big game for about 10 years now. I do anywhere from 5-10 animals a year, but am still figuring some stuff out as I go. The last couple years, I've been making extra efforts to remove as much silver skin and similar matter as possible during processing, where...

    Muzzleloader Sale at Walmart

    Thought I'd throw this out as a heads up, Walmarts (at least those around me) are trying to clear out their hunting supply, including muzzleloaders/propellants/projectiles/etc. Last night I got 3 Traditions Buckstalkers for $99 each. One for me, and one for each of my kids. BH209 was $19/jug...

    LCH 2019 Hunting Year Summary

    I've posted a few pics here and there in the "Let's See 'Em" threads, but the last couple of years I've gone to a year-end summary rather than recapping each hunt individually. In February I went down to Texas to meet up with a friend made off of another forum and did some hog-dogging. Lots of...

    First Black Bear

    I truly enjoy bear hunting, despite previous failures to punch a tag. I've done two spring hunts in Montana now and was in good ground with lots of sign both times, but only had one fleeting opportunity during that period which I was forced to pass on. I also added a CA bear tag to a Columbia...

    Options for Columbia Blacktail

    So back in 2016 I hunted B-zone blacktails in California for the mid-September opener. Had a great time and saw some really neat country. I saw very few deer though and did not harvest. I'm thinking I'll probably try again next year. The obvious option is to go back where I hunted in 2016. If I...

    A Pretty Good Year

    2018 was pretty good to me. Started off kind of slow, with a fruitless hog hunt in Alabama and turkey tag soup in Indiana, then picked up steam once fall arrived. First hunt was Wyoming pronghorn and cow elk. First day of the hunt, BIL shot his first pronghorn: About 2 hours later, I...

    Realistic life expectancy for boots?

    I'm still relatively new to hiking boots, and what exactly to expect of them. I just boxed up my Cabela's brand boots to send back for a warranty exchange. I've had them for a couple years, but only have probably 200-300 miles on them. The upper is separating from the lower part on the side of...

    My 2017 Hunting - Year in Review

    2017 was a good year for me. I didn't put any big sets of bone on the wall and ate a few tags, but enjoyed the freedom and experiences that come with getting out and "adventuring." My first hunt of the year was my 3rd annual weekend trip to Alabama to hunt hogs. A lot of hiking and hunting...

    Dressed up my Howa

    I bought this rifle several years ago, when I was more into tactical type firearms. Since then, the black plastic has started to lose its appeal to me. So I ordered this laminate stock from Boyd's: Unscrewed the old one: And screwed on the new one: I also adjusted the trigger pull...

    Wyoming WIA/HMA Question

    Question about public lands which fall within the boundaries of a WIA or HMA. The area I'm looking at for antelope this fall has a large WIA, checkerboard BLM and private. A county road cuts through the middle of the WIA. The rules for this WIA state no firearm hunting for the first 3 weeks...

    Rifle cases - oversized luggage?

    For those of you who fly on your hunting trips, are you typically charged oversized fees for your rifle cases? Southwest's max size is a cumulative 62" (w+l+h). My double rifle case is 73", and my single is 66". I know they make exceptions for certain sports equipment, such as golf bags...

    Deciding on a rental car

    I'll be renting a car for a Coues hunt in Arizona near the border immediately following Thanksgiving. I can get a small car for about $200 less than an SUV, and probably also save that much again in fuel driving from Indiana. Or, pay extra for an SUV and get a little extra ground clearance...

    California Deer / Bear

    Booked the flights and reserved a car this morning. Doing a Columbia Blacktail and Black Bear hunt in N. California this September. Anybody have any general advice for either species? Looking hard at Trinity Alps Wilderness.

    Cots

    Looking for a good, sturdy, comfortable cot. I'm about 6-2 and 250, so I need a good-sized one. Considering the Gander Mountain Titan XL. Any experience with this cot, or other recommendations? Need to stay under $300, $100 is better but want one that will last.

    The Bob

    This past July, spent some time backpacking in the Bob Marshall Wilderness Area in NW Montana. We hiked to the Chinese Wall, a 12-18 mile long (depending on your interpretation of where it starts and ends) stretch of the Continental Divide that looks just like a wall. We arrived on a Sunday...

    Summer Backpack Trip - Suggestions?

    I'm probably going to do a backpacking trip with my uncle this summer, something like 4 days and 3 nights, or maybe 5 days and 4 nights on the trail. We are both in pretty good shape, and would allow about 24 hours to acclimate to the elevation before starting out. I don't really want to do...
