    The meat...

    So here on the Hunting Forum we are not doing "catch and release" so let's see what we're doing with the bounty that we harvest. First meal from that doe I shot Thursday was tonight. Cut up the tenderloins and braised them in EVOO with some bits of bacon. Served up with jambalaya and a nice...

    Full Moon effect..?

    OK, the rifle opener is tomorrow. The ground is snowy, the weather is clear and cold. There is a full moon waning. So, get up before dawn to walk out back because the deer are dancing in the moonlight? Wait till the sun's up since the deer are sleeping in because they were reading in bed late...

    No Fall Turkey season in Ks.

    Just read that the KDWPT is canceling the Fall turkey season. The explanation is there is a shortage of turkeys here in Kansas due to lack of production. I wonder if/when the "experts" will get around to addressing the Why there is a shortage of production? :confused:

    Thought I'd modify the 12 gauge duck gun for home defense. Where is a good source to get a short barrel for it? I see Midway has some but I always like an "option" or two. o_O

    New to rifle shooting...

    Got a young friend who is wants to get a bolt action center fire rifle. Being young,25, he doesn't have a lot of money so there's that to consider. He also doesn't have much rifle experience but I can help with that. Anyway, I suggested the 223 for caliber and,after some thought, the Ruger...

    "Budget" spotting scopes?

    The thread about having four spotting scopes got me thinking about my one crappy spotting scope. Sure there are very high quality ones in the multi 1,000's but that's more than I could justify to myself or my wife. So, in the $500 max range, what all is out there that is worth buying?

    "Discreet" rifle case..?

    OK, the reason for the quotes in the title is because I got an e-mail/ad from one of the Brownells touting their sale on their "Discreet Tactical Rifle Case" and it's just a standard black soft case with BROWNELLS on the side in red letters. Personally, that's not my idea of discreet..? o_O...

    Replacing Sabatier scales..?

    A friend has asked me to to fix the scales on their late mom's kitchen knife. The originals are pretty "funky" ,from moisture I assume. Is there anywhere I can get some original replacements? I can make a set but don't have any wood like the original and was thinking she might like it if it...

    CWD..?

    So I just read an article in the Topeka paper about CWD here in Kansas. It has been mostly out west but now it is showing up in NE Kansas, where I hunt, as well. I know this has been a problem for hunters in other states so I'm wondering how it affects your hunting and processing there?

    D.R.G.M. knife/tool set

    I found a leather pouch set in my late father in laws shop. It's marked D.R.G.M. and has somebody's initials in gold on the pouch. Seems to be in pretty good shape and well made. Were these actual tools or just an early, guessing pre-WW2, version of "The Sharper Image" stuff we see today?
