    Trout liked post by Moa Hunter On thread : Advice on handling meat after the kill
    I disagree with the MPI gutting method, reaching up and cutting the windpipe inside the animal is a mistake if you want a really clean job. Better to open the neck, release the WP, tie it off and...

    Trout liked post by 55six On thread : Thermal scopes - best bang for your buck?
    The scopes are Sytongs new PM03 in 35mm and 50mm. They have the same sensor as the more expnsive models - 384x288, 12 micron, sub 25 NETD. Thats pretty much where the better thermals are speced on...

    Hilux don't run a CVT they run a proper auto. My money is on a faulty torque converter that can't make up its mind if it should be locked or slipping.

    Trout liked post by HG Man On thread : Gamey Fallow?
    Couple of tricks I've learned, always remove the nuts and pizzle as soon as you can, before starting to gut. And try a simple 2:1 salt sugar brine, 2 days in that I find that will take away a lot...
