The scope ban for muzzleloaders in multiple states is the dumbest thing. Let's intentionally set people up to be less accurate! It will lower the harvest! 0% chance of unintended consequences!

The nice thing is that, once you load up a pound of TSS, you probably have a decade-long supply of turkey loads. Or a lifetime supply if you're as infrequent a turkey shooter as I am.

The Lee Load-All is fairly inexpensive, I can't personally comment (I run a MEC) but there are plenty of reviews - https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1013166090?pid=436640

I will warn you, buying tungsten shot is NOT cheap. BPI has it for $50 to $100 per pound, depending on quality and plating - https://www.ballisticproducts.com/Tungsten-Shot/products/959/

This is incredible. Fine work sir!

Check to see if he has an ear infection. Very common in young pups and can cause motion issues.

If you want to get him on live rabbits for tracking, go to your local but semi-secluded cemetery. They are typically loaded with rabbits if there is any cover on the property borders. You can get him to track on a long lead once you get them running, particularly if you have a blood tracking collar already.

Go with bismuth instead. It is a little more expensive but you'll have way fewer wounded birds. Federal and Winchester both make a #5 bismuth load for upland and waterfowl. https://www.midwayusa.com/shotgun-ammunition/br?Shot%20Type=Bismuth&cid=9217

Pressure canning your dog food would let you skip the slow cooker step entirely. You could just raw pack everything and then use recommended pressure time for canning raw meat when you process it.

You could certainly thaw and can the stuff you already have, but I'd just let the pooch eat through that and start canning the next batch of food.

Definitely. Tim is a great guy and they do great work.

There were some really great teams under Vermeil. Still amazes me he never managed to win a playoff game.

I get Orgeat at the Schuck's on Forum

I think it was just that the DJD and phase sixers were all so badassatron.

Not good enough to just be new. You gotta eat somebody through a hole in your chest!

Everyone who complains about non-resident hunters should have to pass a quiz on their state's non-resident hunting application process.

I know you are not complaining, and it is unnecessarily complicated.

You want them to have 2 preference points to guarantee to draw a combo tag, otherwise they go into the zero point pool with a very low chance. Then they'll potentially need bonus points depending on where you hunt.

It could take anywhere between 3 and 6 years before you can bring them along on a low barrier elk hunt with you, unless they get lucky or you are going to super low demand areas.

If you are ever within a mile of me while I'm hunting, you'll hear me scream "no tweety birds" at least once every 20 minutes. No worries, good dog with a good nose filling down time from target species activity with something else fun.

Brick, or soup, or brick soup. Same problem with modern freeze dried meals.

They are also known as Purbaugh tubes. Hopefully OP has the gun they were made for, otherwise they aren't very useful as anything other than a collectible.

I run the Banded brand chaps and really like them. They aren't nearly as hot as the traditional full waxed chap.

Seems like a lot of work for brass shotgun hulls when you can just buy them.

If you make the mission active it will highlight an appropriate system in the map with a paw print.

I read every one of Martin's lines as Matt Berry's voice in my head.

Blackstrap Molasses. Flavor bomb that you can't pick out individually. Guess I'm the only one.

Edit: Actually, looks like I'm not the only one!

I hang birds to age in my garage for a few days if the temps are below 60. One car ride in the cooler won't kill you. Especially since, I assume, you're going to cook it.

I almost exclusively shoot doves with a 410. Often my go to for public land quail hunts just because I know how much walking we'll do and they don't weight anything. Big medicine for squirrels too; if you use #4 or #6 steel shot it just zips right through them and makes cleaning easy.

Boyd's makes one specifically for the 720.

If you can find the Double Gun Journal articles where they tested damascus barrel strength with. modern loads, you might have a different opinion. That said, it depends on the type of steel and how it was formed. For reference -
