Subscribed to this thread. I too have been looking to buy a new rangefinder. I currently run a Leica 1600 and it's been slower and slower every season. I want something with auto angle adjustment, and I too have been leaning towards the Kilo5K. Hunting buddy of ours has it and it has a cool feature where it connects to your phone, and you can mark waypoints with the laser. So if you down an animal, you can hit the location, save to the map, and go right to it. I saw the Kilo5K on sale last year priced in the $400's. I am waiting for this to happen again and I'm buying unless someone posts other advice.

Problem solved…

What a cool palmated buck with splendid mass! Congrats! Enjoyed the video. You guys do it well.

They try to get us to join a list that will receive automatic sheep tags next draw cycle. 🐑🦌🔫💣🥩❕‼️💣⭐❤️

We got hit with +/-2700 individual spam posts from over 90 different accounts overnight. Thanks to those of you that alerted us to the issue. I also got a late-night text from Ernesto C but didn't see it until 5AM. As Stan mentioned, a stricter new member verification process has been put in place that should help.

Looks like he lived a fulfilling and adventurous life! That non-typical Eastern whitetail is sweet.

I was on a hunt in Colorado one year and had the same thing happen to us. Tons of open area to camp but ol' six shooter wanted to camp right next to us. After they set up camp, I started lightly playing some nice Mexican Corridos. Didn't take long for them to pack up and leave.

This is one of my favorites!

If you are cooking at such high temps that this will cook in 12-14 hours, it will definitely shrink substantially. This looks like an easy 18-20 hours cook complete on a pellet smoker at low temp to me. Even after wrapping at the stall. The point is thick too, you may end up drying out the flat on this. Let us know how it turns out for sure!

Coarse ground. Yes, I agree with your take on things cooked over fire. Things are just that much better. Between the char, the smoke, everything.

Yes, that was in the works but as we all know...other things come up. Besides, we would have to make a video series anymore as people don't do the cookbook thing as much as they used to.

We went Middle Eastern this Friday evening. I wish this was in memory of my Turkish ibex but I've yet to realize that off my list of things to do. Made some Lebanese style lamb Kofta kebobs and grilled them over pecan. Accompanied by Middle Eastern flatbread and our own tzatziki , was very nice.

This is correct

Did they mix beef/pork into the brats?

Which wild game did you like the best. I have a guess.

Following up... Did any of this help? Was it info you already had?

Dream Season.

I can see where this would be a spectacular sight for any kid interested in the outdoors and hunting.

Just so everyone is aware...OP responded to a spam account that brought this old thread back to life. Spammer has been removed therefore making it seem as if OP is giving everyone else an update.

Interesting:

Here is a German pistol that I found with similar markings: German Pocket Revolver | National Museum of American History (si.edu)

Upon further inspection, your pistol does have several markings that will help with your search. The frame and cylinder have several markings throughout that are blurry in your photos. Your cylinder also shows a stamp of sorts and opening the cylinder may yield even more. Looks like the number "15" a possible "U" with a crown above it...all in line with similar markings on pistols online. (letter with a crown etc) . Here is a preview of a book sold: Bulldog revolvers explained - ebook published at HLebooks.com - YouTube

Quick research shows it's a type of Velo Dog or Bulldog type pistol with a folding trigger, exposed hammer, and round barrel. Initially manufactured for cyclists for protection against dogs in Europe. (France, Belgium, Germany)

Stanley, Don't hesitate to experiment with "overstuffing" your smoker with a brisket you think may not fit. I've seen where people place the entire brisket (fat cap down) on a round smoker like yours, while tucking in as much as possible. After some cooking hours, the brisket shrinks to fit with no damage done. . You can also try this...
