My wife was drawn an any elk tag in a limited opportunity area this year. We've been hunting this area for the last 3 years with mixed success. The terrain is terrible but there are elk around if you know where to look or can get above 10,000ft on the mountain. Last year she had a cow tag and...

A few months ago I purchased a hog. It was live when I bought it but that didn't last long. I'll spare the story but I ended up with this: Butchering. As it turns out, hogs are mostly made of fat. This is important. For you see, if you take a hog belly and let it set in the fridge for a week...

It's a Good Life Finally tracked this story down. I read it as an adolescent, 7th or 8th grade in a book of short stories by multiple authors and it has haunted me ever since. I had mistakenly remembered the author as Ray Bradbury and the little's boy name as Alfred (instead of Anthony) so when...

I think this is the right spot for this, considering. "What do you need a vehicle like that for?" asked the gentleman from across the pond. He was smoking a cigarette outside an American pub and I had come out of said pub to retrieve my jacket. "In my country [I forget which country he was...

Worked on this one last night, got it into smoking condition. Orlik Corona straight bulldog: Before: Could not get the stem to go in all the way, very tight. Too bad the previous guy dinged it up but we can fix the rest: Stem was pretty gross. But now she's looking better! Nice...

Stupid PAD is getting out of control. I ended up winning an auction and these are two of the pipes in the lot. Anybody have any info as to what they might be? Any input appreciated. Pipe #1: it's metal. That's about as far as I've gotten. Bronze? Copper? Weed pipe? No markings Pipe #2...

Field & Stream section is a little too slow so I'm posting a recap of elk season. I was able to get the freezer filled early December :lol: Elk are easy to find (generally) but not always easy to get to. These ones were about 1.5-2 miles away from the glassing spot and out in the wide open...

I've been looking forward to this tin for awhile now. The tin art is exceptional and this one was bulging (had a few years on it). Popped the top about 2 weeks ago and have had a number of smokes since. Short version: I like it. Long version: below. Testing was done in a Savinelli Pianoforte...

Hey folks. I ended up with this pipe and am not sure what it's made of. The discoloring makes me think it's a meer from what I've read online but it's heavy like porcelain. Also the shank appears to be a composite wood underneath where the bit goes in, I didn't get a picture of that but I can if...

Here's some pics of my latest PAD. I will say that I think acquiring and refurbishing old pipes is at least as fun as smoking them. This Erik Nording is my first freehand and I haven't done anything to it. It doesn't need much. It has some slight stem chatter and oxidation that I will get to but...

I'm still a beginner and have only tried a few tobaccos so far including: SG FVF, Tudor Castle, Escudo, Frog Morton Cella, McClelland Legends and Dunhill Nightcap. Basically I've liked them all. I love tobacco. I'd say the FVF stands at the top, the perique in the Escudo and Tudor Castle bugs...

Hello, quick introduction. A friend of mine bought me a pipe for my birthday in March. He does not smoke a pipe. I didn't own a pipe. He got me a new Savinelli Pianoforte 623 on a whim as a gift. He's a different sort of guy. Anyway, not wanting to do the generous gift any injustice I began...
