Spent the day cooking cause why the heck not.
Corned moose smoked along with some red cabbage and red potatoes.
Made a Sheppards pie as well, just to make sure we are covered.
The wife whipped up a green loaf of sour dough for the kids.
All tasted great!
Took the plunge and got a Mark IV in a target. I am working to find the ammo it likes best and will be installing a red dot shortly. I picked up a nice holster off of Etsy. Hope it makes a nice little grouse/ squirrel gun.
Have you tried swinging by a place like Scheels and trying on all their boots in your size to get the best fit possible across all boots, and to compare stiffness of different boots to on another?
Thanks for the words of confidence! I am going to put in the time to train her and see what happens. Worst case I have an amazing family dog, best case I get that plus a partner in the field. My 8 year old has a goal of the dog retrieving a goose for us this fall, so hopefully we can get to that...
So the kids were finally at an age where they are mainly self sufficient (8 and 5). I had been researching and learning as much as I could about breeders and breeds. I talked the wife into a golden retriever from a hunting background. We were on the list for the first female from a litter that...
I don’t have near the skills of most of you, but my Father has a bunch of woodworking tools so I decided to whip up some reloading blocks from random wood I had laying around, while visiting. I made the blocks cartridge specific, which I am very much looking forward to using on the bench.
Anyone have some used 30-30 brass sitting around that they could part with? I am working up loads for a 7-30 and have been fire forming old 30-30 brass, but I am hoping to start building a backlog. Hoping for something in the Missoula/ Bitterroot area.
Two dishes for my FIL’s b day. First was a sous vide, coffee rubbed, seared moose tenderloin. Finished with a black pepper cream sauce. Second was a wild rice, pheasant, chukar, homemade casserole (a throw back to the casserole’s that everyone made in the 80’s). Both turned out awesome!
Was lucky enough to get a doe mule deer on an island off the west coast this December. Went in an Asian direction with this - grilled the meat in a teriyaki type marinade and then stir fried up some garlic, red onion and broccoli. Combined it all with some avocado and siracha. Entire family...
Just read up on the .30 Badger from your post - super interesting round. Would love to have a write up on that build if you find time (I’m sure you are busier than ever). I might have to start saving up for a future Pham .30 Badger!
