Rob-- it might surprise you-- but, I have a number of Survival Books from 25 years ago or so. Modern Hunting With Indian Secrets is just one of them. How To Stay Alive In The Woods - is another. Edible Wild Plants is another, I have made a study of. I always try to learn more on my year round Hikes.
For the hell of it, I ordered the Modern Hunting with Indian Secrets. I really enjoyed a book called Survival Arts Of The Primitive Paiutes. I am hoping Modern Hunting with Indian Secrets will be in the same vein.

This is the link that was sent to me via E-Mail from a buddy, I sincerely doubt this is a hoax.
Ah, OK. I checked their website, I did not check their facebook page. Just wanted to be sure . . . . Thanks for posting.

His facebook page doesn't confirm his death, but there is this ominous entry from Sept 14:
QuoteDon Kevilus is with Mors Kochanski and 3 others.
With a heavy heart I am informing the greater bushcraft and outdoor community .That my dear friend and wise Yoda, Mors Kochanski has been diagnosed with mesothelioma and is very ill. He is truly the patron saint of bushcraft. His books, videos and teachings of how to be comfortable and enjoy the wilderness has touched us all. So at request of the family if you would like to send support and encouragement.I'm sure he would love a card or email.
Contact information below;
[email protected] (he is not in the habit of checking but we will try to do better)
Mors Kochanski
55205 Range Road 152
Yellowhead County
T7E 3R8 Canada
He’s a pretty special fellow to us all! -

He might be gone, but his spirit and soul will live on with all the people that learned from him.
I wish I had read more of his teaching and skill set. He is a legend, and always will be.
Other than his wikipedia page, have you found any source for his death? I can't find anything on google, nor Karamat or morskochanski websites. Odd. Wikipedia pages can be hacked, so I am wondering if it could be fake news.

I never read any of his Books. -- RIP.
You are missing out. For arboreal forest survival/bushcraft, he is the expert. We are fortunate, though, that he did a lot of youtube videos.

Yes for sure the cell cams are a learning curve. I also bought a cell cam from Phade and he to walked me through the setup. I now have a Spartan and a Moultrie and want to see what one is better. The Spartan is a lot more money but if it works on the lease it’s worth the money. The cell coverage out there is brutal. So far the Moultrie has been out there for about 2 weeks and hasn’t sent 1 pic. The Spartan hasn’t been out for deployment yet. I may start a different thread on the comparison of the two .
That would be great to start a thread like that. Would you consider deploying the two camerals right next to each other, even if just for a few weeks, so we could get a apples to apples comparison?

I bought a pack chair for this year ,it's made by summit . The last couple years I've been embracing the ground hunting technique, same as a treestand, just play the wind . You lose a bunch of the safety buffer you have from being in the tree and need to pay attention more but it definitely is a technique that should not be over looked.
Given the dwindling number of shotgun days, I may try to hunt from the ground one day later this week. It gets very windy in Porter, unfortunately. I bought a folding three legged stool with a small back support I've been meaning to try out.

Yes orange is a good idea. No it isn't fail safe. Be sure of your target and where your buddies are.
Yes, of course.
Why do you think that guy shot at you? Do you think he did it intentionally?

Super fresh, opened-up with arteries trimmed, sliced, slow cooked with tons of butter. Butter &/or bacon makes everything edible, right? I've even eaten fresh venison liver prep'ed the same way and I normally hate liver.
Is the texture "rubbery" when you cook it like that, or does the muscle "loosen up" once cooked long enough? I have four hearts that I am trying to figure out what do do with. One idea I have is to grind the meat and make chili, but I'm worried that they will turn into little rubber pellets.

And all from the ground, no blind. Just sitting on the ground against a stonewall or tree
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkDo you bring a chair/seat of some kind, like a tripod stool, when you hunt like that?

Finally breaking out the snow camo. Only two inches of snow, but it is wet and heavy and sticking to all the branches. Going out this afternoon.

Anyone wear solid orange or orange blaze pattern?
I'm thinking about getting solid orange for the next set of jacket and bibs I buy. I know it's far from a sexy camo pattern, but I wear an orange vest anyway, and I figure the orange on orange will make me less visible if I move my arms around in front of me. That, and it will make me safer in areas where there are other hunters . . . .

Tried a bunch of suits, prob in the other threads somewhere, but the Arctic shield jacket and bibs has done the trick for me. I am ALWAYS cold so it's a solid review. I liked it so much I bought new suit a few years back because the camo pattern changed. They are also one of the cheapest suits out there... Give it a try and save the money

I have two Arctic Shield outfits, one reg camo and one snow camo! I don't feel so alone anymore.Thanks, TG.

Awesome! My plan was to use electrical tape but this has me thinking... I have a bunch of sterilite gloves laying around that I could cut the fingers off and use a rubber band if needed.

A guy I hunt with does that with latex gloves from his work. As long as you use the whole finger length, you shouldn't need a rubber band.

For what it's worth I'll probably get a pair of incinerator bibs someday. Like I wrote up in that thread, opening day I got COLD after 4 hours. I plan on getting that wind/rain layer to go over the ultra down, next year. Pretty damn hefty buy in price to get a complete layering system.
USRN, if your are a XXL, check out https://www.rogerssportinggoods.com/Sitka-Incinerator-Bib-Optifade-Ground-Forest?Sizes=1301
I was going to get it, but I can't find the matching jacket or parka.

Does Sitka make bibs? Does Sitka ever go on sale?
2019 Habitat seed Program (Soybeans)

Could anyone tell me, assuming normal/average growing conditions, how many days it takes for the soybeans to grow to the point that a) the deer will start eating the leaves and b) the plants will be fully mature/go brown?
Trying to figure out when I can plant these next year. One options is to plant them "early", and then plant something else for the fall, or maybe I can plant these mid-summer and have them through some or all of gun season. I'm open to suggestions in general in this regard. Thanks.
