It's good marketing , sportsman and gun buyers don't go there anyway so they are just getting free publicity and watch their sales go up from all the people who already go there. Dicks is a last resort for me and not for anything but sport type items. I'm surprised no one is commenting on their shady sales tactic.

Mostly done with hogs so you can cook them whole. The skin protects the meat during long cook times usually in a large smoker or pit bbq. If it was gutted and kept cool it should be pretty good I would say. Let's see the end results and cook method. Nice work I agree the toughest part is that the hide was on for a while but just depends, if you gut it and pack it in ice should be great. If it was just in the bed of a truck then the flavor might be off. I'm hoping it's good I'll go for this next year.

6.5 miles in the rain tonight. Love these late cold drizzle rains this time of year. Had to drag my butt out of the house when I realized the weather was less than perfect but it turned out sweet.

You guys should be sharing this all the time it's awsome. That's why we are here. Don't wait to be prodded post up.

I use a 7 and 9 inch fillet knife at home. Bought them at restaurant supply store for 20 bucks each years ago. I tend to use those to trim and break down the main cuts then when I slice into steaks I use my main chefs knife.

Nice shots, I've been jonesing to get the tripod out myself.

Sounds like a good one congrats. Can't wait for my first

Hey man 11 miles a day gets you pretty deep in the woods. Hard to beat that. It all counts, mileage is mileage weathe it's 1 or 22.

Last nights quick sneak a run in after work got a little out of hand !!!! White tanks goat camp trail.

I might have some, not sure if I have ff or fff, I'll look when I get home, I may be out of ff but which ever one it is I have like 6lbs

Chicken fried elk steaks , mashed potatos, gravy , salad , and steamed carrots.

So a while back I was needing a boost to my work out routine, I signed up for a race. Kind of like having a set date for a hunt or a tag , you know something to work towards rather than just random day to day work. This was the black canyon trail ultra marathon 60k distance. This would be my longest effort and a pretty big deal to me. It sure did the trick, I had a pretty good effort up to race day and had a tone of miles in, including running while on hunts after hiking all day and carrying a pack etc. the race was really cool going from basically Mayer to black canyon city mostly on single track dirt trails. This was to be my biggest test to date and it didn't disappoint !! I stuck to my planned heart rate and pace and my legs crashed at mile 22. I ran leggit up to about mile 19 before my body started rejecting the effort. Haha This is the first time I have really wrecked myself working out and it was interesting. So 3 hours plus at 145 heart rate or more running desert mountains showed me I'm really not in as good shape as I thought I was. Back to the drawing board , 2 days later it was hill running 7 miles in the white tanks with a 4 mile flat walk cool down. Already signed up for another race, we will see how I can improve. It's amazing what the human body can do, the top runners are going 62 miles at sub 8 minute mile pace !!!! Crazy

Flour, egg, flour again

14 X 20 Davis internal frame home made stove bought last year no rolled carpet floor absolutely love it. One man set up if your in decent shape and yes very heavy and bulky but for cold late season on long duration it's sweet and worth it. No fire treatment for me,

Cool idea, is it with ground meat?

Sweet man congrats and thanks for sharing

Solo tonight but made the most of it, nocked out a short run with my dog then made some dinner.

My guess is roads are not open up there on the rim lakes?

Go with the 27-60 razor, with 15 binos the 16-48 won't get you much closer than just using the 15 binos. Right now I'm running 12 binos and the razor 16-48 but my partner has 15 binos and the 27-60 razor and I like that set up better. My goal is to jump to 15 binos and 60 spotter this year.

Dad, sister, brother in law , all first time eating elk, they dug in and the conversation rolled on. Total converts, everyone is rooting for more elk tags for me and pops now.

Taking my bow out to 22

At age 23 I was at 6%, according to trainers but not sure how accurate. I know I was lean and mean for sure and riding Bulls and horses and in the gym 6 hours a day. I was even pulling chicks at trophys pace. Hahha

All the motivation I need is feeling good and strong but also looking around at people I know or see day to day keeps me from bad foods, crazy how wrecked physically people are in daily life. Most guys I work with won't make retirement age and many didnt

Ya no doubt, at 6 percent body fat I would be 185lbs, I would love to run around at 195, I'm guessing I'm 204 right now but havnt been on a scale in a year. It takes a ton of work for me to hit 195 hydrated. I think by October this year I'll hit 195 and peak fitness for race day

Awsome, ya pull ups are my nemesis for ever. I've always been 200 lbs and not super lean, not fat necessarily but just not lean and 180. So I'm at like 10 pull-ups myself I remember in school we had PE and had to test every year and until high school I did zero. But in high school I went from zero to 15 pull ups so I finally grew into my body. Haha
