Thorpe played professional football until he was 56 if memory serves. Before the modern times there were bare knuckled boxers who went as many as 50 rounds. Greatest fighter, all weight classes competing, Royce Gracie, without a doubt.

Does anyone dry age venison for steaks?

You could wear that stateside or anywhere in Europe and not be out of place, nor embarrassed by overembelishment. The coat itself is a good camo application from where I stand. My own trend has been to all Loden color in modern fabrics, like I obtained from Beretta. That jacket would make a...

@rookhawk, where did you get your dry ager. What are brands to trust?

More than several days if you do stock refurbishing....dry weather is a great boon for that, though.

Sharecropper grandparents on my mother's side used to clear land in the winter for $2.50 an acre with axes and crosscut saws.

Dead of summer, cocooning from the heat sounds like a GREAT time to overhaul everything.

There are hunting resources that are shared here, AND, you might not have noticed, financial advice sometimes given here by people who have learned how to create wealth. Rookhawk comes to mind. It is like "Rich Dad, Poor Dad." You can learn to approach life differently and up your status. Better...

Can you expand even more on the dry aging details. I am rather flabbergasted at the suggestion of up to 300 days! How does it keep from spoiling?

I see I'm not the only one using cast iron....looks scrumptious!

And THAT'S why they now mount the toilets on the wall--you can't sit on them (or even look inside to see what the bowl looks like)

Why are YOU liking this post Big Easy--you are the problem.

I took home about 300 vermilion filets from Mexico--nobody else on the boat wanted theirs! Froze them and checked the cooler as luggage back when you got two bags. BTW I stand corrected--nephew marinated with CHERRY Dr. Pepper.

Are those vermillion snapper in the bucket?

Yes, the PH will from the first greeting be assessing your abilities. From familiar, safe gun handling to recoil sensitivity/flinching while sighting in, to "woods" sense while walking and stalking, to any smaller game taken first. It will all influence how close he takes you and whether he...

My friend was a missionary to Chile. He said the peons down there have better retirement than the US average due to the fact that their retirement monies were privatized and the government could not rob it. The real problem is Congress is a professional thief, they rob SS, and get away with it.

That's what I said, but it is still going....

Yeah, I don't know what CZ does differently, but they are accurate even full stock.

Two of my stutzen stocks ARE free floated! The end cap is just ebony wood. I usually bed an old cleaning rod into the barrel channel, covered by epoxy so it cannot warp.

I KNOW better, but I still fall prey. kind of like slang.

Look at Denmark--they decided they could not extend the welfare system to unlimited immigrants. It is an economic impossibility, as many nations are discovering. Our own people won't vote to give up benefits, so we have no choice by to eliminate them for newfound freeloaders. That alone will...

I also heard he sold his soul to Santa

I would sniff it like I sniff an oyster after I shuck it....

tell them to expand operations--the market is out there, the problem is Swift management.

My cousin Joe has a 452 CZ mannlicher stocked in 22lr. It has a metal end cap, and he coats every bullet with Alox. He showed me a 3/8" group he shot with it--at 100 yds! I have a Shilen barreled 77/22 I restocked as a mannlicher, but it is free floated--it will shoot a bughole at 50 yds with...

From what I'm seeing in the pictures, the snakes must strike pretty low. That's the info I would need in order to make a choice. I own what I believe are the best snake gaiters on earth. They are from Orvis (don't know if they still have them) and reach up to cover the whole shin. They are...

The late Don Henry of the Mannlicher Collectors Assoc. used a 375 H&H on elk hunts, as they hunted knife edge ridges in the Cascades. He wanted them to absolutely drop to the shot, not go off the edge and down into a nightmare retrieval situation. But he never claimed it was a light stalking...

Can't speak for the 8X57J but the 8X57JR is pretty easy to purchase.

My points are not keeping up with the increase, I can tell you that.

Some of the best cooking comes from he most unexpected places. My nephew the plumber was fixing a gas leak on my house Sun. evening. I said "what's in that bag you put in the fridge?" He said just a bunch of ribs he had grilled up on the 4th. That boy had marinated with Dr. Pepper, put on a rub...

DOES ANYONE REMEMBER SANDI PATTI'S STAR SPANGLED BANNER RENDITION IN 1987?? OMG, THAT GIRL DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A LIMITATION ON HIGH NOTES....IT JUST GOES INTO THE RANGE ONLY DOGS CAN HEAR, LOL. Of course, she did have the Mormon Tabernacle Choir backing her up--and she drowned them out/left them...

Perhaps I should have noted that while having read The Old Man and the Boy, Something of Value, and Use Enough Gun.....this is my first time going through Horn of the Hunter. Still becoming a bit maddening as so far no heart/lung shot has been taken, nor recommended. Virginia shot a beast in the...

I once knew a guy who switched from a 300 WM to a 280, in the middle of a hunt, because he thought the 280 was "luckier." Some of our longest arguments are all in our own head. A no argument three to literally bag truck loads of game? 22lr, 30'06, 12 ga shotgun. (375 H&H if rifles only) God...

AND...everybody was happy, with no contrived unhappiness.

Time to bomb what counts and thin the herd. The water treatment, the power generation and dams, the food delivery, and the army regulars. That's what they will understand. They may have to be crushed to be defeated. And they need to be defeated for any lasting peace Right now, they say they will...

They NEVER come down on Hallmark Channel....

I have Hoof in the Mouth disease.....had no idea it was not just some generic picture. And what hockey team did you say she played for, again? Besides, I probably meant the other one.... Oh God, just let the ground swallow me up, please.

Grandpa Moose, have you ever considered a Mannlicher Schoenauer? Folks who know them like them. I can certainly recommend them. You would probably be happier if you would only consider trying them....lol

Deport illegals weighing down your political system" is EXACTLY what Denmark is doing now. They decided LOGICALLY that they could have open immigration OR the multifaceted welfare state, BUT NOT BOTH. They chose to have their culture, their entitlements funded by eliminating leeches and to...

the phrase "just the other day" comes to mind.

Might be depressing to see those chicks now, fifty years older....

SO GLAD TRUMP DIDN'T ALLOW THE 250TH CELEBRATION TO BE CANCELLED. ENJOYED IMMENSELY!

I love fun. I LOVE colorful writing, and Capstick drew me to Africa. All good fun. But if someone emulates you and goes off half cocked on a lion hunt not having fired the rifle in question....it will be a wonder if someone doesn't get eaten. Just saying. Never said I didn't enjoy Ruark's...

Maybe that let a little hot air out of my viewpoint. Still, I cannot recommend anyone at any time taking a safari without ever having fired their rifle.

I'm basically happy with ALL my choices. I might choose to own one less drilling. I would sure choose to wait for an upgrade in wood, engraving, and condition to make what I already chose even better. I would also consider that in having a few less guns, the ones I have could have...

I believe Camillus was the manufacturer of the Boy Scout pocket knife. Holds an edge. congrats

In his Gettysburg Address, Lincoln hopes for "A rebirth of freedom. That government of the people, by the people, and for the people might not perish from the earth." God give America a REBIRTH OF FREEDOM!!! May America appreciate itself at the same level that a million soccer fans have...

Well, this will likely sling a skunk into the room, and not saying that Ruark did not exhibit a masterful use of the English language, but what I am suggesting is that he had not earned the right to the use of such language in Horn of the Hunter! Just keepin' it real, as they say: Ruark admits...

"anyone else who manipulated the stock market" lol

Kalthoff, I salute your country for its stand against the cultural incursion of Islam, and the hope it gives to other European countries to reverse said invasion. Honestly, I thought most hope was lost for EU future! You have shown what can be done in facing a very real threat to your culture. I...
