That's awesome man!

Once in awhile we actually find out at the deli counter. Never found it with the regular pre-packaged lunch meat though

I'm surprised you know what it is. Not joking that's already my next project. I lived right down the road from Lebanon in PA. Already have the stuff in my Amazon cart. I found a YouTuber that has a great video on how to make it I didn't know it until I watch the video but it's actually not a cooked meat it's fermented. Then cold smoked for 48 hours it's also a household favorite food city sells it sometimes

Did a few batches different ways but basically about 5 hours low temp to 155 internal. Recommend an hour or more cold smoking with a pellet tube then start on low smoke first hour then bump up to 200-225 til internal temp. The slower you get to temp is better imo but if you add liquid smoke then do it as quick you want. As soon as you pull them from the grill throw them in ice water. If you don't the casing might stick and pull off some of the meat with it.

This was the last I had of a cableas pre mix. So no recipe but both Cabela's and bearded butchers sell a mix. Probably others as well.

A quick Google search says Leupold warranty is 2 years, and sig is an "infinite warranty". But earlier in this thread someone mentioned dealing with sig warranty sucks so ..

Ok so I love the idea of a rangefinder being able to drop a pin. That's awesome and only sig and luepold have the option. Out of those 2 which would you trust more as far as warranty goes between the two?

Pics and story please

Looking forward to the story!

Awesome! More pics and story please.... Been waiting to see some bigguns

I had the shakes, it was an itchy weekend

I'm sorry to hear about your buddy and very sorry to the family, that freaking sucks. Saw his posts but never met or talked to the guy. Prayers sent to the family

I heard something like this awhile back I think around Williams? Wonder if it's the same story or new people / charges.

Awesome! Looks like the freezer is full. Congrats to you all! And that coues is a freaking stud!

I don't know 9 but have you been sitting water in the evenings, all day or just mornings? I'd look for water that is close to thick north facing drainages and sit those if you haven't already.

Very cool. Congrats to them gals

Congrats!

I had the Cabela's 1hp it seemed like overkill honestly. I figure the .75 is the sweet spot. Lem has dual grind attachments for their #8, 12, 22 where it will do 2 grinds in one pass which is pretty cool. LEM and MEAT both have holiday deals going on right now. I don't think harbor freight makes a grinder anymore.

Looking at ease of clean up and having "enough" power. Will be mostly used for jerky and making my own lunch meat. LEMs 8.5" mighty bite would be just over $200 with the cyber week sale. Thoughts?

Does it bog down on you with bigger meats?

The cal ranch down here has craftworx ones. I think a 7.5 for $80 and an 8 or 8.5 for $109. I'm just thinking that getting something half decent for $109 seems unlikely. But I have zero experience.

Is that bad to you? Some people group like that with a rifle!

Asking where to hunt on a forum is sort of a no no. But like no tags said you are in a pretty good area overall. You need to decide if you wanna chase muleys or coues. I'd consider heading south off I-10 towards sonoita I think it's hwy 83. Take any road off the highway that goes towards the foothills and start glassing. Try to wait for one to bed and haul but above them and sneak down to them and try and get a shot off. Expect to blow it multiple times before you connect. Don't get discouraged when you blow a stalk, it's normal.

Beautiful bear congrats!

That's awesome! Well done sheep crew and big congrats to your son!
