Midwest Frontier

This week we have a few things we discuss. First we talk about the deer we could not find. Pat has tips on processing deer, kind of a lessons learned topic. Jim brings up 2 things. The first was about the oldest known humans in North America, but are they? Here's the article on that one. Next is our favorite winter prediction that seems to make the sense. We have record breaking snowfall in America this year so far, and it will affect all the Northern hemisphere. Here is that article.

This week we have a review of grinding up Pat's venison to start the conversation. Then Pat has a list of 5 knots that everyone should know. He explains what they are and they uses.

This week we discuss the question "what is a coyote?" We go over what they are, what they eat, why do they howl, are they good or bad for the environment. Pat's bench is a simple question too, where is the rut? Bush Lite Billy has been working a lot of overtime lately so he did not have a recipe this week but does join us for the conversation.
