    I got good news and I got bad news.

    Good news is my wife is pregnant again. Bad news is due date November 2. No Colorado trip for me this year. That also means I will have an October kid and a November kid. Guess I need to go read through the Big Snip thread a little more since I can’t keep it in my pants during winter. 🫣 I’m...

    Another batch of sausage/experimenting.

    Made up 5lbs of Chipotle Bourbon which I make regularly but added pepper jack cheese this time. Then I made up 5lbs of Jalapeño Popper with pepper jack. When trying a new recipe I fry up a small patty and man this new stuff is good but pretty spicy! So I stuff some and kept some separate just...

    What we have here are

    The makings of a hopefully beautiful and delicious venison/pork jalapeno cheddar summer sausage. Will stuff and cook in oven tomorrow. I need to build a smokehouse once we move to our dream home but for now the LEM recipes will do

    2023 TX Whitetail

    I’m finally on my first solo hunt of the year after hunting with my wife last week. I made her pass up a four year old 10pt the first evening in hopes we’d see something better; we didn’t and she was a bit miffed at me. Anyway I’m back out at my cabin fighting the mice. Seen four younger bucks...

    Sometimes a night in a tent….

    Is all you need to reset your attitude. I haven’t been out to my hunting property since early January. In fact I’ve barely spent anytime outdoors since spring. I’m either working, raising my daughter or sitting my fat ass in front of the TV watching other people do things outside. I’ve been in a...

    Easy sausage rolls

    I’m sure I’m not the first to do it but I experimented today. One can of Walmart croissants and three venison/pork brats. I pre cooked the brats then I cut two of the brats in half and one I cut in half then sliced in half…so basically into a quarter sausage. Just to see what worked better...

    Spent the day making jerky

    Following my sausage thread, today was jerky day. I went with a tried and trued mesquite flavor packet from walmart that is actually really good and a new Dr. Pepper jalapeño recipe I got from YouTube. The Dr. J still needs some tweaks, mainly salt and sugar but isn’t terrible. I also got to...

    Spent the day making sausage.

    Yesterday, started by cutting up a 8lb pork roast that had a good amount of fat on it. Already had about 15-16 pounds of venison cubed up and thawing in the freezer. Mixed both up and ran through the grinder. Next I split it about evenly into two meat totes and mixed up two packets of Polish...

    Anyone need 25% off Sitka?

    Family vacation in the Ouachita Mountains.

    The little one was here when she was in her mommas belly so we decided to come back this year. I won’t lie, vacationing with a 2.5 year old isn’t easy but it’s still very fun. She went on her first little train ride today and we were fortunate that we got a VIP solo tour with cool info on the...

    Our annual spread camp. The good and the bad

    I’ve had this thread in the past. My wife and I have done a spring break camp since before we even got married, and even camped the days before our wedding. Since having our daughter it’s turned into hybrid they visit during the day and I sleep in the tent overnight. Well this year since our...

    Fun week.

    We’ve been “glamping” in the backyard. The Christmas lights in the tent are nice, thinking about getting one of those big battery packs to run them off grid. Discovered the cot isn’t comfortable without a pad. Still figuring out the stove.

    Is it winter?

    Eighty degrees here the last few days in east TX. I fished for trout in shorts and T-shirt today, not a fish though they are there. Haven’t put any meat in the freezer. Failed in CO and haven’t had much time here at home. Wife had CT scan Monday and goes in for surgery tomorrow. Praying it...

    TX whitetail rut hunt/now late season.

    Every year for the past decade or so I’ve hunted the last two weeks of November down here in central TX. The rut is usually in full tilt and I enjoy just watching the deer act crazy for a while before I shoot one. Things changed just a little when I got married and hunted just a little less then...

    Tornado just hit our town.

    Still gathering info and pics. Siren went off while I was cooking dinner, I ignore it like always but wife and daughter took cover in the hall. Looks like it hit around the loop southwest of us. Another cell coming later. Crazy stuff.

Fresh off of my second trip out west and first elk hunt that was both a major failure and learning success, I am here to share my experience and thoughts with those wanting to be their own Jerimiah Johnson, Hugh Glass, Horatio...

    1st elk hunt/I need a psychiatrist

    So I’m on my first ever elk hunt and second western hunt. I’ve wanted to hunt 1st rifle season ever since I discovered western hunting, so this year I burnt three points on a tag. It’s been quite a learning experience even though season only opened today, I’m three days in to the trip so far...

    Just a friendly reminder to test your new gear before relying on it.

    Decided I’m too old, fat and simply not tough enough any more to spend a week in a small tent; so I bought a canvas tent and stove to supplement my little hot tent and backpacking tents. Set up tent with no problems and wet it down per the instructions. Easy. Set up stove in tent. Easy...

    Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6

    I have a Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6 in a LaRue mount. Optic is like new. I painted the mount. Asking $350 for everything or $300 for just the optic. I’ll most likely be adding items over the next week or so. I do have a bow I’d like to sell but shipping seems daunting.
