I would love to find a good recipe for it. The only way I've ever been able to eat venison roast is to make green chili out of it. Such a lean meat it's hard to be palatable with as dry as it seems to get.

That breech plug is an awesome feature. Makes it dang easy to clean. You're setting someone up well to get it and go. Nice setup.

Weather may play a factor this year as we are getting a decent amount of snow right now. If another decent storm rolls in there could be significant snow to consider.....

Exactly this ^^^

Hey no joke! I got a hit as well. $25. Turkey!

I have the same exact gun. Topped with a Nikon muzzleloader scope. I am shooting 300 yards with 120 grains of blackhorn 209 and precision 300 grain sabots. I can get further but I've only gone out to 300. Keeps accuracy very very nicely. I really like mine. Good luck with the sale.

That's a great bull. Looks like if you had to go up and out of that country, your legs are deserving to be exhausted with that weight on your back. Muzzy's are a lot of fun. Really cool deal. Congrats

Thunder chicken hits tomorrow????? I want to hear those early morning gobbles! Man April is a long ways away!

Ready? Already done!

I once killed a mule deer buck in 31 during an early November hunt. His neck was swollen up quite big, but was running with a bachelor group. At the time I figured he was gearing up for the rut

Awesome! Way to go guys!

Noah Sarnowski. Great guy and family with a clean shop.

For what you'll spend on a processor buy a grinder from cabelas and do it yourself! You'll enjoy doing it yourself.

I love to fry mine. Clean it up like all the above have said. Slice thin, dip in egg, then flour and throw it into a hot skillet with some oil. Other than tenderloin, heart is my favorite. I prefer it more than backstrap. I love the texture and flavor it has. Great stuff.

I used the recipe at the link below with a couple of tweaks. It turned out really good! http://allrecipes.com/recipe/16359/breakfast-sausage/ For the meat I used 75% ground game meat to 25% ground pork butt. It makes the sausage a bit leaner than most are used to, but I prefer it that way. Traditional sausages are usually 50%+ fat. I also prefer it a bit leaner as well. Looks like a good recipe there. I'm gonna give it a try with a bull I just took a couple weeks ago. I made up some maple sausage but nothing else for breakfast sausage. Thanks for the link!

That's great. What recipe did you use for your breakfast sausage? I like to add a bit of beef fat for my burger. It's a dang lot of work processing yourself but worth every minute of it. Good lesson for your kids to learn how to do as well. Congrats on the deer

Baking soda and cold water. Always air dry. I don't want the dryer sheets or smells from the dryer on my camo

LoL. What a picture!

Time to start trying to kill the smallest buck possible. Maybe give him a challenge or something. Heck of a beautiful coues deer. Dream buck

Congrats on a great pair of bucks! Really cool seeing it all come together with some hard work. Good work for the legs for fall ball practice.

I personally hate hunting around other people. But, it's a difficult situation to know how much land to let someone else have if its a huge area. If I know someone is in a place I want to hunt and I see them and can talk to them, I will straight up go ask them what their plan is and ask if I were to go to such and such, would it mess you up? Base it on that and hunt based on that discussion. If I see someone in an area and can't talk to them, I'd leave it alone and go somewhere else.

Saw a couple of great mule deer bucks over the past week on an elk hunt. In some thick stuff but they were dandy.

Stealth cam stc p12-6 MP. I purchased several of these this past year and have been very pleased with the purchase. Reliable cameras. Uses AA batteries. Small and compact. I love the price and love the quality. Amazon has them for $60.

Mathews switchback XT. Still the best bow ever made

I've got the Kings camo rain gear. It kept me dry in this last Godzilla start to El Niño. I can't believe how much rain there was up here by alpine. Anyways, one thing I dislike very much is the amount of noise it creates. There is no way to put a stalk on something and expect to get within 100 yards. Way too loud. I am looking for something more quiet now, so if anyone knows of anything I'd be all ears
