he said 9 LB loins, probably needs more than 4 hours and 130 degrees

I was never thinking he'd try to fit the whole 3' long backstrap from that pig in one bag. I cut them up into 10-12" sections and they are easier to deal with.

Sous vide pork loin at 130 degrees for 3-4 hrs then seared on a hot arse flame or skillet is a damn fine medium rare piece of meat.

Sounds like you were just deer hunting turkeys

I have that mower. Been damn good for what I paid for it (new). I have about 300 hours on mine and no indication it won't last another 300. I just change the oil once per year or so, and change a battery about every 2 winters. Not sure I've done anything else aside from sharpening blades. Can't say I recall ever having as much as a low tire. Amongst our 4 vehicles, 2 boats, 4 wheeler, SXS, and tractor, it's probably the most reliable mode of transportation I own.

Do not sell your father's gun.


But if you do, sell it to me.

Almost all of the turkeys in Louisiana died. The 2025 snowstorm and 2021 ice storm finished off most of the ones that didn't perish in the 2016 flood. Terrible thing.

My daughter was 5 or so and would sleep in a hammock in the woods. She was a busy toddler and it would have been difficult when she was younger. She's been sleeping outside pretty regularly since then. My son has been sleeping in a tent since 3 or so. I never really pressed to take them when they were younger, but we would have managed at almost any age. You just have to prepare yourself they are young and set appropriate expectations. My wife is not an outdoors person so taking the kids when they were young was just me aside from one time my wife came and a storm blew through about 2am. She hasn't asked to go back in 20 years lol

A 458 lott pushes a 500gr bullet at something like 2200 fps.

A 12ga 3.5" heavy TSS is moving 2.5 Oz (1094gr of shot, add a wad to that )@ 1000 fps. More than double the weight of a heavy 458 lott load.

3.5" 12ga shells are STUPID amounts of recoil. Its horrible.

Pretty sure 3.5" TSS loads are about 3x the recoil of a 300win mag

Which was dumb. Kenseth was extremely consistent that season. I looked it up: 1 win, 11 Top 5s, 25 Top 10s, an average finishing position of 10.3, and only 2 DNFs.

He earned the championship, even if he only had one win.

I agree. That's why I never understood why they changed the points system, but they did because they wanted to put more focus on wins.

To find out how many longbeards are on a property so that you don't shoot too many, I can see where that would be useful.

To use cameras to aid in killing turkeys is for losers
