Grumpy,I had the same issue with the fanny pack,when I used one.The solution I came up with was to adjust it where you wanted,then sew it with a sewing alw.If you fatten or skinny down,easy to take the stitches out and redo.I promise it will never sag again,no matter how heavy.

The best thing about processing your own meat is you know what your getting.My dad showed me how to butcher my first deer as a teenager and I’ve been cutting and wrapping game meat ever since.It’s fun to get the kids involved in the wrapping.My daughter helps me with the cutting as well.One thing I’d recommend is wash the grinder parts ,saws and knives in diluted bleach water , followed by dish soap(before and after).Like everyone else I knew ,I used to put pork or beef fat in my burger, till my wife scolded me for putting the unhealthy in the healthy.Now I find fat in wild game ruins the taste and creates more work when cooking,think drain the fat.If you want to make patties you can use eggs to hold it together.To me processing game from the field to the freezer is part of the whole hunting experience.P.S. burger is always the first to go so make plenty!

We got lucky last weekend and had a good rain,with more on the way.The woods are starting to open up in spots.To bad the eastern part of the state didn’t get some as well.

This post was never intended to condone trespassing.Rather that as a non trespassing tool,the GPS is finally accepted in the trad bow community.

Col.Mike I have hunted for years with my compass and a map.Now it’s a “Where’s Waldo” game.Good thing I hunt with my recurve.You get caught trespassing with a firearm,it’s a felony!

Here’s my setup.Arrow length 29″9/16,weight 770 grns, foc 27 percent. Bow predator velocity riser,64# hunter dx limbs.At my draw weight I’m pulling 60#.Using a beiter plunger that has a piece of shelving material glued to the button that makes for a quiet draw.A few clicks to increase plunger pressure and arrows are spot on!

The way I choose to hunt is my choice and I respect the ways of others.Only when technology crosses the line and limits the hunting season will I become concerned.

I really like the Dixon broad head alignment tool.What sets it apart is the magnet for the tip.Any slight deviation and you will see it clearly.I don’t think their available anymore,and if I was to make one I would add the magnet.

Steve,I’m getting the serving to unravel at the nock.I shoot three under and filed my nocks to were I can tap them off the string.Perhaps their still too tight.I really need to learn to twist up a string but I haven’t made it there yet.

I never found one but if I ever do it would be most prized.A few years back my dad was doing a little tractor work on his place.My nephew and niece were playing in the woods and came back and were telling their mom about this rock they found.They were using it to chop ferns, building their fort.My sister told them to go get it, she wanted to see it.It turned out to be a stone axe or wedge.The craftsmanship was amazing. Unlike a knapped arrow head it had a polished smooth appearance.They found it were dad had did a little tractor work and boy was I jealous.My sister still has it….Luckys!
