i had a hanger steak off of a cow last night..it was great. got me thinking..i am gonna look for it in an elk. anyone find one? i am not a butcher and i am gonna visit one today for some pointers.. anyone?

I typically gravitate towards 0-1 carbon steel. I like how easy it is to sharpen. I have been hankering to try a super steel. ELMAX! Finding a proper hunt knife in elmax has been tough. Bark river makes one, but it is damn near 4mm thick. That to thick for me. You even care? I\'m not a...

oh boy! been hitting the range after a long hiatus. i have brief moments of brilliance scattering in lots of sessions of..\"what\'s the arrow doing over there?\" i\'m still breaking arrows at 40 yards and less..but further, things get mysterious. i think my eyes have weakened. i\'m gonna...

i want to see what it does to my blood numbers and Blood Pressure. more details later..

i ordered a few to start practicing. i\'ll just say it. i suck. last time i let out a cow call, everyone reached into their packs and tried to hand me a hoochie mama. i\'m okay with a mouth reed type. i\'ll watch some videos when they get here..and i suppose i\'ll just start trying on my...

i was thinking. (dangerous, i know) last year on our deer hunt, there were decent deer around. we would sneak off midday and hunt quail and bunnies in the flats. we found a bunny honey hole, and we hit covey of quail with giant populations..hundreds! i was surprised those two tiny animals...

i have been working a lot. weekends and everything. living where i live, it is a major event to go to a gun range. the closest one is full of knuckleheads. especially at the handgun section. i\'ve seen guys shooting with the sideways grip..like the movies. the place is crap as well. you...

it took out HWY 1. just flushed it into the ocean. i heard it created 16 acres of new land..haha..we could sell condos on it for 2 mil apiece! jk. this winter was the craziest i have ever seen since moving here in 1998. my current emergency repair jobs look like a hangnail compared to this...
