kyle Took my 9 year old neighbor boy aka fishing buddy, on the Missouri River yesterday. We typically go on Friday, but he was busy with other activities, so a Saturday trip was planned. We kept 24 and he caught 4 of the 5 bigger fish and the best one was 6.25#. This kid is ready to go at 6:30am would spend all day in the boat. He was shaking from excitement after catching the bigger fish, trying to beat his record of 6.5#.

Here is the catch of the day on Sunday. My fishing buddy landed a 26# blue cat after a half hour battle. Very unusual to. catch one that size on stink bait.

Tiny Mae is my older pointing lab and the brothers are Cy & Louie that are her half brothers, that also point even at 1 yr old.

ND Mike Can’t wait to hear the updates and highlights! Leaving on 7/1 for my trip and it has been a couple of years since I made the trip there. My uncle sent this pic of a young bull that has been bedding in his yard at his cabin.

ppelaez Stuff it and then refrigerate. You will have issues if you stuff the next day.

Great meeting you guys today!

I have one of these that my cousin makes and it works to load deer alone or haul in hunting gear. The video is old and they have made several improvements, plus he is an old North Dakota boy, from New Leipzig.

Found by a google search for sausage seasonings. Only in my second season of it, although there is a lot of knowledge on this site and not a lot of bickering back and forth, that is what keeps me here.

I looked at those pretty hard and the PK-100. Going to make the maiden voyage on the PK-100 with a load of Pheasant sticks.

I will be adding another to the collection it appears.

I use a paper towel over a .45 cal cleaning brush on a section of cleaning rod, for the 12/13mm tubes, then use the brush during clean up.

PapaSop one of the guys I worked with told me, he didn’t know how he had time to work and he was retired. Busy every day. I am very close to retirement and can’t wait.

dawg Dave in AZ I watched the video prior to the purchase and after I had issues stuffing to see if it was operator error. I am in no way throwing a wet blanket on this stuffer, I feel that there is something that is not quite right and I am not familiar enough with this machine. I will get with Jonathon and Austin and speak with them to get their input. I took the sticks out this afternoon and they turned out good. I had a small portion of them under stuffed in the rookie stage of the new stuffer learning curve.

dawg I had the maiden voyage with the 20# stuffer today. Venison/pork fat 70/30 on a12# batch with 0.8 liters water and 3oz sure gel. The stuffer struggled with the water amount and motor kicked out multiple times with the 13mm horn and 21mm collagen casings. When it reached the bottom, it started back up and I was surprised by how much product was in the hopper. I piled it up over the outlet and removed the motor and cranked it by hand thinking it may be too stiff and the pressure thought it was bottomed out. Hand cranked the remainder until it bottomed out, still 3/4” covering the bottom of the hopper and had 14oz left. I will tinker with the water added to make it stuff without frequently kicking out motor. Perhaps Austin or Jonathon may have an idea to improve the situation or tweak my process.

PapaSop funny you should mention beast. When I opened mine today, I sent a pic to my wife that the beast arrived today.

bocephus I haven’t yet, however I plan to contact them.

I received mine, however I discovered no handle for the drawer was included.

Mine will be here tomorrow and testing it out this weekend.

Craig Rice It tastes like soap to me. Can’t stand even small pieces in salsa, since it is all I can taste. My daughter loves the stuff.
