    Whats everyones favorite venison recipe?

    It's a push for me but braised neck roast or shanks with a rub applied overnight before cooking is fantastic. I really like rutabagas in the braising liquid as well as yellow "B Size" whole potato's and carrots, garlic and sometimes leaks (if fresh). The braising liquid is usually a dark cab...

    Whats everyones favorite squirrel recipe?

    Roll squirrel pieces in flour seasoned with salt and pepper and fry in a little oil in a cast iron skillet until brown. They will still be tough at this point. Then remove them to a plate and in that same pan add some onion and flour and stir until the onion is soft and the flour browned up...

    Diy metal-less climbing method

    That is a very ingenious system. It looks like it would be more than sufficient. Will you wear a rock climbing harness or just a lineman's belt? Also what will you use for your "platform or ring of steps"?

    Lyme disease is bad but it is much more treatable than "Alpha Gal" which is an anaphylactic type reaction that lone star ticks transmit, which leads to not being able to eat red meat of any kind.

    Things I have learned thus far!

    That's the problem with dog hunters and dog hunting clubs. There are literally 100's of them out every Friday and Saturday. I wouldn't even know them all. And to top it off when I called the warden he said I can get in trouble for trapping, killing, or even penning their dogs. A local lawyer...

    Things I have learned thus far!

    Ok here is a short list of things I have learned so far while saddle hunting. 1) Dog and dog hunters suck!! 2) Hip squeeze is real, for bigmen it's much worse! 3) Climbing isn't as easy as it used to be, even with added advantages of new gear and techniques! 4) Continue my diet and exercise...

    New Knife, New Sheath

    I can't decide between the lamb skinner and 5inch skinner. I like the 5 inch skinner a little better due to belly profile, IMHO.

    Ropeman 1 original?

    I think I saw a thread that the original were 4KN and only after hearing of being used in multiple ways for multiple uses they upgraded to a much higher KN standard....I think, please don't quote me on that, also not sure of what year they changed to the new standard. Hope this helps.
