I spoiled the family on bream. Filleted and skinned, no bones. Fried. Gil

Gun and ammo possession is also prohibited under federal law. Gil

In my crate, I carry a thermos, lunch, a small foldable stool for sitting on while killing time, and a large construction grade plastic bag that I'll roll out and take naps on. I like to hunt at trail's end which is 3.5 miles from the gate. I have also carried a small folding limb saw to keep the tr...

I don't think there is a single-shot 12 gauge lighter than the Yildiz TK12. Mine weighs 4.25 lbs. I took advantage of the solid rib to mount a Skinner Peep and Marble post, but there is no reason a red dot can't be mounted. Gil I put together a new bike last year and used it on my deer hunt. Taking...

NCT--That was one arrogant S.O.B. who told you that you'd be dead before 50. What a jerk. My experience with CPAP was that the private company that supplied the unit knew more about patient needs and comfort than Dr. His Majesty whose sole role was to prescribe the use. Anyone having trouble with pr...

I use canned salmon. Pick the bones and skin out of the chunks. Gil

That looks good. I'll try it. Once I flatten them, I put in the fridge to further firm them up before cooking. Gil

Those cakes look wonderful. Salmon croquettes are a family favorite. A couple of years ago I found online a southern recipe that had a variation of the usual method which uses either cracker or bread crumbs as a fill. Self-rising flour is used instead of bread or saltine cracker crumbs. Another diff...

I have hard enough time keeping up with loose gear placed on the ground. I leave my sling on. Gil

I used it 40 years ago in a Roster published 10 ga. load. 2 1/8 oz. of shot. It was published by BP for one year then never again. It wasn't reliable in cold weather. Worked fine for me on spring turkeys. A buddy reported that it "blooped" in freezing weather which was consistent with the ...

No words can comfort such a terrible loss. Gil

Looking good. A buddy who worked in the USDA Stored Insect Labs used hide beetles to strip flesh off bone. Took a little longer, but they did the job. They could bite the bejeebers out of ya'. Gil

4000 miles on someone else's truck is a lot better than 4000 miles on my truck. Let him drive his truck. Gil

It wasn't just lead weights used to cheat. Walleye fillets were stuffed down the gullets as well. Gil

Interesting, but the transition between wheel and barrel has the potential to disrupt a turkey load pattern. Gil

What is this "Facebook" I hear so much about? Gil

Be careful threading the earlier models, those that were made prior to the 87 series. The barrels are thinner and I've heard of problems due to the thinness. Some of the ones with Polychoke left the Ithaca NY factory with them installed. I have M37s in all gauges. I plan on shooting my 28 ga. today ...

A season hunting with rifle sights last year reminded me why I went to red dot systems over 25 years ago. Beads, vent ribs, plain barrels kill turkeys for sure but nothing beats red dots for rapid and consistent target acquisition especially for tightly choked loads. The Burris Fast Fire system is a...

A tone downed Janis Joplin. Great voice. Gil

What a great trip. Good that you kept a safe distance from calf and mom. Gil

Let the farce be with you...Gil

That sure looks great. Nothing beats wild salmon for taste. I don't have sockeye, but have silver (coho). Rather than thaw out a whole filet, I use a Fiskars folding limb saw to cut off a dinner sized portion. I season skinless side with Tony Chachere's Cajun spice and then coat the skinless side wi...

Beauts! Gil

I agree with what others have said. A little battery change at the beginning of the season provided some invaluable piece of mind. On of the pros I didnt see mentioned is that if you put that dot on the target regardless of where it is in the housing your good to go. Its not like a bead or rifle st...
