    CWD and what I should know about it

    University of Minnesota developed a kit that can test meat samples (not necessarily lymph nodes, brain or spine tissue) making testing already processed meat a possibility but they are a bit pricey. https://www.priogen.store/products/priosense-cwd-muscle-testing-kit Check with your state's...

    CWD and what I should know about it

    It's a bad deal for sure but we just have to adapt and overcome. One of my biggest questions and concerns is how areas will handle commercial deer processing. Our state already recommends disposing of CWD contaminated meat. As of right now, it takes weeks to get CWD test results back. The deer...

    CWD and what I should know about it

    There's data that shows a strong 40/60 bleach/water solution inactivates the prions after a 4 minute soak. https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/household-bleach-inactivates-chronic-wasting-disease-prions

    CWD and what I should know about it

    We've had CWD present in our herd here for years. There's a randomly selected testing program during rifle season but no testing program unless we hunters voluntarily pay for and send them off on our own during archery and muzzleloader seasons. I'm wondering how many are slipping through the...

    CWD and what I should know about it

    I've included the Neurology Journal link to the case study the Field and Stream article is referring to above. Here it is again for those interested: https://doi.org/10.1212/WNL.0000000000204407

    CWD and what I should know about it

    I know this is a bit of an old thread but thought I'd post this for those interested. I'd assume there's more info to come. https://www.yahoo.com/news/study-hunters-die-consuming-cwd-160020393.html Neurology Journal link: https://doi.org/10.1212/WNL.0000000000204407

    Ar build

    @Weldabeast did you try different mags with that 350? I'd have a failure to feed on my BCA 450 once and awhile and I figured out the mags I was using didn't chamber the round properly. I settled on a Lancer mag and follower and cleared the problem up. The straight walled cartridges can be a bit...

    Is this good enough?

    I have one of those bows with 40lb limbs and drawing a little less at my draw length. I bareshafted with 600 spine Gold Tip traditionals but they're cut pretty short, I can update length and total arrow weight if necessary when I get home. I have 175 gr up front not including the inserts that...

    Kayak Landing Gear

    You could drill holes or weld a couple hooks on the downriggers so you could run a ratchet strap under the kayak to support most of the weight and keep the weight off those screws when in tow.

    Going to start leatherworking for fun, tips?

    Mine is stitched. If you prefer two layers at the finger, they need to be independent of each other to allow both to move so they don't bunch up and create a ridge or bunched up spot for the string to catch on at release. I guess that's the beauty of taking up leather working...try something...

    Going to start leatherworking for fun, tips?

    If you don't know about Tandy leather, check it out. www.tandyleather.com Look at garage sales and Goodwill for old leather coats, chaps, etc that can be used for material. Be sure to make sure they're not worth something first though before cutting them up!

    Looking for a cheap recurve - FOUND

    I'd suggest looking into the "Black Hunter" recurve or longbow. They can be had under $100, are available on Amazon and Ebay as well as other archery shops but are usually re-branded at a higher price. They're glass back/belly and a bamboo core and shoot very nice. I believe there are some knock...

    Blade sharpening...WOW

    Free hand sharpening seems like an art to me. I just don't have the confidence to hold the proper bevel consistently so I use a Work Sharp precision adjust. I'll finish off with a strop I've made from some old scrap leather. I add meguiars mirror glaze buffing compound to on the rough suade side...

    Waldrop Pac Seat- Which one?

    That's about my only gripe, it can get annoying. There's a solution though. Post in thread 'Pacseat mods: Putting the 'pack' in Pacseat, & other things' https://saddlehunter.com/community/index.php?threads/pacseat-mods-putting-the-pack-in-pacseat-other-things.46592/post-642264
