in reply to: Cabin to cabin #56809Happy Holidays Everyone!
Being in Ga, I haven’t even made a fire the last few days, although I plan to tonight.
I’ll try to get a picture of the walker dogs sleeping by it later on.
In the meantime, we have a wild pig ham smoking and will soon be grilling a loin to share with family.
in reply to: Cooking recipes for mallard? #56807With any ducks, please please please don’t just breast them out. The entire duck and all of its skin is delicious.
Here’s what I do with most ducks:
Pluck all feathers you can and the singe the remaining down with a lighter.
Mix up a marinade of terriyaki, worcestershire, sweet bbq sauce, and lots and lots of garlic.
Marinate for 24 hours and then stuff the cavity with onions and button mushrooms.
Sear on the grill and cook until it’s still pink and somewhat bloody in the middle.
Duck has to be left RARE!!!
Enjoy! It’s my favorite wild game.
in reply to: To Heck With Deer… #56548That looks like a blast!
I’m tired of deer as well and glad the season is about over. If we get a decent snow, I’ll be stalking pigs in the hills.
Good luck with the bushytails!

Fort Stewart proper or the area? Does the Ft. allow hunting and if so, do you need a safety course/permission? Up here in PA, at FtIG (Fort Indiantown Gap) you can hunt the base, but need to take THEIR safety course each year. Sounds like a good time though. Thanks for the update. Be well.

The fort stewart base here is huge. It covers three counties. You have to buy a special permit to hunt the base and they have some special regulations but you can hunt pigs all through small game season (until feb 28) and possibly year round, I think.
They regularly close certain units for training exercizes and you have to check in and out by phone every day.
in reply to: Game camera #46965I like to run several cams at a time in different areas so, for me, the cheaper the better.
Stealth cams are real cheap, easy to use (I’m terrible with technology), take good pictures, and are really good on batts. I really can’t speak highly enough for them.
Post your first pictures when you get them out!
in reply to: Proud Dad! #46962Awesome Tommy! Give him another year or two. Tailfeather can’t even usually find his kid cuz he’s halfway up a tree somewhere chasing songbirds with his hickory stickbow.
I think that’s why Joe quit feeding all the birds at his place.:D
in reply to: Game camera #45948Mine are just cheap stealth cams. They’re about 90 bucks. In my experience, cuddebacks are the best but they’ll run at least triple that price

Wow! Congratulations on a lifetime of excellent adventures.
in reply to: Slim pickins #45867They do make great jerky. I’m not a die hard waterfowler (even though I love to duck hunt), but I wish everybody would give me their goose breasts just to make jerky with.

As my friend Tim Cahill, who lives up there, points out, it appears parts of this vid were shot at W. Yellowstone, parts in nearby Jackson, and parts, most I’d say, at Mammoth. We could also add Estes Park (a town, not a park, but adjacent to Rocky Mtn. NP here in CO), Jasper and several other places. I’ve always viewed this behavior by elk as a conscious choice: we are occupying places they very much want to be at certain times of the year, and by trial and error have determined they are safe there not only from people (except drunk drivers and trophy poachers with x-guns) but predators as well. So they put aside their fear and disdain of us and come hang out. But take those same urban elk and put ’em back in the forest, and good luck getting within half a mile of one. What it is, is ironic.
Do all of you writers know each other? It almost seems like some sort of conspiracy now!:D
Love Cahill’s books.
in reply to: It never fails #45323David Petersen wrote: I don’t use trail cams for hunting–have no problem with those who do–but cams have become a whole new off-season sport for me. It’s the unexpected critters and behaviors that are best, like three adult mountain lions on the gut pile at my elk kill this year. And many times elk, bears, turkeys, once even a weasel, have stuck their faces right into the camera. Photo quality has become so good, if you have the light angle right and no distracting junk in view, trail cam pics can be as good as those we take ourselves and in my case better. Video would be even better but the batteries wouldn’t last any time. By the way, if you’ve not discovered lithium batteries, they have many times the life of anything else and aren’t so affected by deep cold. I use nothing else now in all my outdoor gear, even flashlights. That is a big bobcat.
I don’t use them for hunting either. That cam hadn’t been checked in over three weeks and I pulled the cam and stand before even checking it. I’ll start running them to do turkey inventory soon, until the season comes in and I’ll pull em out

If you hunt my lock on at club, I have a cam set up on a trail intersection on way to stand. Been there since muzzleloader season.
Is that buck above the 7pt you had pics of this summer?
No. That boy was bigger and older. First pic of this boy. Looks like a 3.5 to me
