Thanks, yes you do deserve that gold star. I don't see your jerky recipe calling for any curing salts?

That sounds real good, i will give it a try. Thanks

Hey sweet old bill,Why not just go to Dicks in oneonta, they have a small 10 yard indoor range and you can try any of the crossbows. Thats where i purchased my 10 point titan extreme and i was able to take alot of shots before i purchased the Xbow. Good luck.

Yep i plan on using mine alot, my wifes already talking about doing a brisket, chicken, turkey , salmon..etc... i picked up a masterbuilt digital electric smoker, its very effecient , well sealed and doesn't require a whole lot if chips. The digital temp.and timer takes alot of guess work out of smoking.

Its all your fault UNicky because of you i went out and bought a smoker and made a batch of the smoked sausage..lol They were killer, my kids and family devoured them. This first batch i used mesquite wood with light smoke and came out quite tasty. Next batch im gonna try some apple wood. My quesion to you is now i need to try my hands at the jerky, do you care to share that recipe and process? Thanks for getting me started, i have now found a new healthy addiction called "smoking everything i can get my hands on"...lol..sure is rewarding when you make your own smoked meats and everyone enjoys it. Thanks

That's all i eat is farm country deer, they are tasty.Your meal sounds delicious, enjoy!!

I hunt very close by and my family has done very well with taking deer, turkey, small game, predators etc.. and i have done exceptionally well throughout the years if your talking about mature bucks. My avatar picture is a buck i took this ML season and i also took an equally as nice 8 pointer with my bow. I was also very fortunate to harvest a 230lb. sow bear last gun season (2013), although there are not many bears but they are there.Like anywhere else each piece will have its plus and minus. Most land i have hunted were either part of a farm or close to farms. Try to locate in the area property that is near farmland, has contour mountains, hills (ridges), hemlock /pine standings,apple trees, water etc..most of the area around Davenport and surrounding area are conducive to what i described. If you locate a piece that has all these qualities you will do well.

Welcome aboard.

Happy B'Day! !

Nice video.

Happy new year all!!!

That sounds good to.

It was tasty. Sorry next time ill send an invite..lol

I'm sure you'll get a couple next season.

I hear that tastes horrible..lol..only kidding!!

Man was it good!!Delicious!!! We pan fried all sides then placed in oven for 7 to 8 minutes.

This would be a first for me in cutting up a backstrap but wanted to try something different. I have plenty others that will be left whole..lol.

are on the menu tonight. My wife butterflied three pieces of backstrap. They were stuffed with seasoned breadcrumbs, basil, graded cheese, mozzarella and olive oil. I was in charge of trussing them together. Cant wait for dinner.lol.

Not sure, but you can check online and if theres a discount on that product it will show. I saw the 50% off on that killer outfit and lucked out they had it instock at a local dicks. Oh and dont go by what the clerks say because the guy told me oh no that sale was over weeks ago and i had to tell thats not the case because i saw the 50% off online this morning. Also there are no signs at the store stating the 50% discount. Know what you want and also know the discount. I came prepared with the discount advertisement saved to my phone.

If anyone is in the market for hunting apparel there are great deals online and in stores. I was in the market for new hunting outfit. I picked up a scentblocker driven matrix jacket and pants at 50% off..Glad i waited till after the holidays.

Happy birthday, enjoy the day!!!!
