I’m mostly a reader on this site, but every now and then you suck me in to comment. I’m a fan of hunting hogs and cook all that I kill. I’m originally from Louisiana and I love to cook Cajun food. In LA, I could always get really good tasso which is a spicy and smoky seasoning meat. I have...

Long time lurker and seldom poster here. I do enjoy the information and hunting tales shared on this forum. I live and hunt in the SE, so I don’t hunt long range. There is just no opportunity for it here. Anyway, I was lucky to get to hunt with my cousins on public land in NW Alabama over...

I am new to this forum. After browsing a bit, it looks like some interesting stuff and knowledgeable people on here. I am very allergic to poison ivy and have had it many times over the years. I have found that washing up with a pumice cleaner like Go-Jo or Fast Orange is the best plan for me...
