  1. Headed out this morning for a couple of hours to a different spot east of the valley that has held decent quail numbers over the last 10 years or so. 5 mile hike, 7 birds and spooked up 4 decent size mule deer bucks, so that was a good surprise. Really liking the Federal HiBird shells in a #6. No lost birds this trip and the heavier shot doesn't chew up the bird any more than when I was using #7.5. Really cuts down on time looking for a downed bird....they drop like a rock, so probably sticking with that round for the remainder of the year. Gonna try some of Hank Shaw's quail recipes this time around. Good stuff.

  2. Looking for a referral/recommendation for someone to work on a CanAm Commander 1000. Having issues with it constantly going into limp mode. Could be MAF, oil pressure sensor, or something else. Can't figure it out and looking to pay for someone to go thru it, diagnose and fix. RideNow is backed up big time and always seems to be very transactional. Thanks.

    Went out this evening to try my luck. Got on numerous very large coveys, bagged 6, lost 4. My Franchi 12g was acting up and not discharging shells or cycling them. Basically  my semi became a single shot. Did come across a legless lizard which didn’t rattle so I rattled his cage. Just under 4’

    Also came back to the truck and had to change a flat tire.

    What kind of shells were you shooting? 


  4. I've been using one for 5+ years. It's great and really just another kitchen tool. I've been using it for anything from pre-making camp meals, to 36 hour short ribs, infusing vodkas and bourbons, tomahawk steaks, etc. Camp meals typically include a couple tri tips at 132* for about 12 hours (at home), then leave the tri tips in the bag and back into the fridge/cooler until they're time to eat. Cut them very thin and a quick sear on a cast iron skillet. Makes for a good lunch with King's Hawaiian rolls and some horseradish sauce.

    Short ribs - use a Korean gochujang paste on the ribs. Vacuum seal and sous vide at 150* for 36 hours. Remove from the bath, refrigerate and when ready to eat, just sear on a skillet and good to go. Makes for good social bbq or camp meal.

    Vodka - Pour vodka in an empty glass beer growler until 3/4 way full. Dump in cut up fruit such as apple, pear, mango. Put the lid on the growler and into the bath at 150* for 4 hours. Makes for great infused booze. Works the same with bourbon or rum. Makes good for social get togethers. Chicks who booze love it.

    Elk backstraps - same as a steak, 132* with just salt/pepper and a tbsp of butter. Into the bath for 2 hours and sear on a skillet or screaming hot grill. Turns out great, as it's cooked medium-rare all the way thru, not just in the middle with well done outer edges.

    I could go on and on, but hope you get the idea. Kenji Lopez has a bunch of good tips on his website on sous vide.
