    Any 4-H Muzzleloading Instructors?

    I coach for air rifle, pistol and smallbore rifle and pistol. Illinois is talking about starting muzzleloading. I think it is definitely a great way to use STEM, build shooting skills and teach a sport they can do as adults. Coaching nights are the highlight of my week. I teach Special Ed...

    Worst case Pecatonica River ML makes a Hawken stock for TCs that has a lower comb to address this very issue.

    Broke my leg

    A few weeks ago I fell in a parking lot messed up my shoulder. Was hoping to bowhunt. I’m going to try to draw it before the snowpacolipse. I’d use an unmentionable bow I bought for the kids but my son broke that. I hope you have a speedy recovery maybe with exercise you’ll be better than before.

    Some processors used to let you “hang only” for a week for 10.00 that was great however no one does that anymore.

    Wet aging game meat

    I have not since a case popped up 20 miles away. They are doing voluntary checks at the county park where they have an archery and firearm hunt.

    Wet aging game meat

    what makes the biggest impact on the meat in my mind is removing the fat, tendons and silver skin. I will say that if I had access to a meat bandsaw I’d make Oso Buccio or similar dishes out of the shanks. Lots of flavor there.

    Wet aging game meat

    I forgot one thing, insta pots make ribs very tender in like 20-30 minutes and render off much of the chalky fat from whitetail deer

    Wet aging game meat

    In hot weather, early archery, youth firearm etc we skin, scrape, rinse and trim any obviously fowled meat, quarter legs, remove loins and ribs. Then stick in ice to cool rapidly then have a chest freezer with a manual thermostat so it acts as a cooler. We hang for 10 days or so. Not a problem...
