Thanks for letting us tag along vicariously.

Nice cat.  My wife would not be happy about that, but..........

Your drive and ethics are top notch.

Butchering, Cooking, Recipes / Re: The Gutless Method
« Last post by Buzz2401 on Today at 02:59:51 PM »
Been doing this for years but I still don't do it on every animal. I actually prefer to not do the gutless method unless the situation dictates I use it(lack of time, gut was hit, etc). I prefer not to do gutless because I've found that the quarters come off much more bloody then if you guy and get the blood draining. Just my opinion on the method. I did use it twice this year on elk.

Young fella learned today he can make a solid retrieve then squeeze in a quarter mile ADHD sprint before I get set up again. Wirehairs ain't meant for sittin but can suffer it like a pro

Historical Gunmaker Joseph Butler & Co.

There was a historical firm, Joseph Butler & Co., located at 179 E Madison Street, Chicago, Illinois, active from approximately 1870-1880. This company was primarily known as re-barrellers and choke borers but also made some guns, often on W. & C. Scott Actions.

Other Big Game / Re: Bull moose...luck or ???

Been on 2 Washington moose hunts.  My late tag in 2014, and tagged along in the same GMU on an early hunt 2 years later.   I hunted 14 days, seeing 13 different t bulls, 1 being a monster.   Shot my 4 year old bull in late Nov.   I did a fair amount of hiking , but saw all the moose from my truck.   The wolves were present, but not nearly as much as today.
I am glad the game dept gives you a month in most units, because you need it.
My advice for tag holders is to enjoy the OIL experience, and be realistic about trophy potential.   
Still one of the greatest hunts I’ve ever had.

Power Equipment & RV / Re: GM 6.6l gas 6 speed vs. 10 speed?

Used Dave Smith for the first time. They were great. We also had them swap the dog box from the old truck to the new one. They were awesome. Gave us up front trade in values on 2 trucks. No further questions asked. The box had some issues with the computer talking to the non factory LED lights and they got the right harness and factory reprogramming done for the brakes and turn signals to work properly. Prior, it has been a nightmare. Dave Smith is my new favorite dealer and shop for everything not dealer related.  Cant speak highly enough about them.

The fender liners keep things clean. They do grab pine needles but, a pressure wash keeps them tidy

Guns and Ammo / Older SxS shotgun
« Last post by crabcreekhunter on Today at 01:45:59 PM »
I inherited an older SxS shotgun and had been sitting in the safe for 10 years without much thought.  Any info on Joseph Butler from Chicago and SxS shotguns.  Older shotguns are not my thing so just looking for info.  Mechanically seems functional and all there, appears as a 12 gauge but not sure on chamber length etc.  any info is appreciated!
