    Retire in Wyoming?

    I have friends in Cody. We visit them every year after Labor Day. I love the fly fishing in the area. We have chatted about retirement. Figure we can spend half the time in Cody and when it gets cold, live in Hawaii.

    Meat Grinder

    I use the STX from Amazon. The negatives are: loud, auger and housing are aluminum. Positives: works great. Very important that when you set it up you tighten the locking ring. Too loose and the knife will not properly cut at the grinding plate and you get mush coming out. I usually grind...

    .30-06 Bullet/Load Selection Process

    I load 59 gr H4350 in my '06 with a Sierra 165 gr HPBT. Groups are about 1" at 100 yds which are acceptable for me as a hunting load. I used to use the soft point but the tips get buggered up. I have used the load on Axis Deer, goats, pigs and young feral cattle with great results.

    I carry a revolver with the hammer on an empty cylinder. My choice, I can't hit anything with a semi-auto.

    Lefties, left out?

    I shoot an old 110. I have very happy with its performance. I also have a Savage 11 in 7mm-08 with the accutrigger. The accutrigger works great for me. It's not perfect but I like it. The key for the accredited seems to be a need to pull straight back. If you have a tendency to pull to...

    Bullet Selection

    I switched to Sierra HPBT last year. Shooting a 165 gr with H4350 at around 2900 fps. I have been hunting goats and axis deer. So far the bullet has performance has been terrific. Better penetration than the BTSP and the bullet tips don't get damaged. Love Accubonds, but really like the...

    Browning vs. Savage, Tikka

    I am a lefty and shoot Savage because that used to be the most affordable lefty rifle. I am not particularly thrilled with the triggers - even the accutrigger. I change the trigger on my 110 to a Timney trigger. One thing I really like about the Savage is that it allows you to rebarrel the...

    First aid kit

    When I went to the ER for my cut, I asked the doctor about quick-clot. They advised me that if I used it, they would have to scrub it out of the wound before doing the sutures. They recommended pressure bandage.

    Accubond mushroom

    I haven't used them a lot. I started loading the 200 gr Accubonds for my 30-06 Ackley for feral cattle. Generally it takes multiple rounds to bring down a big bull. I am finding with a high lung shot, the bulls drop. I shot 1 cow at 640 yards and she dropped too! I have never recovered the...

    Anyone want to weigh in on the validity of this "science"

    These are the same conclusions drawn after "The Big Burn". The forest fires that in 1910 burned millions of acres.

    What size grinder?

    I use the STX Turboforce. Kind of noisy and the housing is made of aluminum. However, it does work. I grind on the average 1 deer a month. I don't think it will grind as fast as a 3/4 horse grinder, but, it was a lot cheaper. It also weighs a lot less.

    Knife Improvement - Looking for input

    I used to use a Silver Stag Schnoor Hunter until a friend built a knife for me. I have a preference for D2 steel. No elk where I hunt but had to de-bone (gutless method) a number of cows. The steel has a very durable edge. Generally the only touching up needed in the field is to use a strop...

    Bushnell elite 3500 2x-7×

    I hunted with Bushnell Elites for many years and shot a lot of animals. I am in the process of sending them back to Bushnell to get them serviced, they are not tracking properly. I really like the rainguard. It really helps when weather is less than ideal. This time around I am trying...

    Meat Grinder

    It depends on how much meat you will be processing. I purchased a STX grinder from Amazon. I think I paid about $150 for it. You get what you pay for. The body and auger are aluminum. It is noisy. That being said, I process 4+5 deer, 12-15 goats and 3-4 pigs a year with it. It has been...

    I guess I am a dolt. I don't get the point of your post.

    Bore sighters

    I still do it the old way - take the bolt out and eye-ball it.

    Lower-end scopes vs higher-end?

    The amount of tears you shed when you fall and the scope hits the rocks.

    When shots are too far for you it doesnt matter what caliber you are toting

    I like to believe that Part of being a "skillful" Hunter is being able to close the distance. Shooting and hitting your target is being a good marksman. I personally enjoy the stalk. I have missed a lot of game because they spotted me before I got in range - on well, that's hunting.

    Boning Knife/Neck Roast

    I carry a Kershaw folding filet knife. Very flexible blade. I have to sharpen it frequently, but I use one of those pull through sharpeners so it's pretty quick and easy to touch up the blade. My primary knife is a custom job with D2 steel. I use that for breaking down the animal and...
