00:00:02 Speaker 1: Hey, everyone, Welcome to the Foundations podcast. I’m your host, Tony Peterson, and today’s episode is all about a recent trip I took that had something to do with sled dogs and what those North Country runners taught me about all working dogs and how we view them. People often tell me I have a dream job, and in a few ways they’re not wrong. The free hunting gear is sweet, and many of the trips I’ve taken just would have never happened if it were up to me and my bank account. There are other parts,…

Editor’s Note:   This article was originally published by Birch Gold Group.  It is re-posted with permission. In a system dominated by Keynesian economics the word “deflation” is considered taboo; like saying Donald Trump’s name out loud in a crowded Seattle yoga studio. The screeching reaction you will get is rarely worth the effort of arguing the point. Every element of modern financial policy is designed to prevent a deflationary event. Every central bank policy is designed to artificially drag the economy out of deflation using whatever fiat stimulus is necessary. Of course, deflation is not always a bad thing. It’s…

With the recent spike in spot silver, I’ve had a number of readers contact me about making trades. For any of my current Elk Creek Company inventory, I’m willing to accept in trade: Generic commercial bullion 1-ounce rounds right at the spot price of silver. ($66.24, as I’m writing this on Tuesday evening.) U.S. Mint American Eagle 1-ounce rounds at $1.50 over spot. And, since U.S. Silver dollars contain .7734 oz. of silver, I’m willing to accept: Non-professionally graded AU or Better $1 Morgan or Peace Dollars at $49.50 each PCGS or NGC graded (“slabbed”) AU 50 to MS60 (non-1921,…

People often assume that because I cook wild game professionally, I must be a big fan of liver. The truth? I’m not. Not even a little. But I still keep it because it’s one of the most nutrient-dense parts of the animal and a meaningful way to honor the life taken. Still, I want to eat it in a way that’s actually enjoyable, not something I have to choke down. After a bit of experimenting, my favorite way to utilize liver is by adding it to ground meat and sausage.Big-game liver is loaded with vitamins, iron, and essential amino acids,…

For dedicated whitetail hunters, December can feel like a comedown after a killer party. November holds the noise and excitement of the season. Fresh scrapes pop up overnight. Hot rub lines dot the ridge. Antlers clash as big bucks crash through brush on a hot doe. Then December hits, and the woods feel like someone called the cops, shutting the whole party down.Then you spend one cold evening in the woods and catch a buck shadowing a small doe with that same old look in his eye. That’s the second rut. It doesn’t come with the same frat boy fanfare…

Serving during World War I in 1918, my father completed two years in the Engineer Corps. In addition to his engineering duties, he and all the other soldiers had to carry and qualify with the Model 1903 Springfield rifle, since they were often on the front lines. Returning to deer hunting in his home state of Pennsylvania, he recalled the accuracy and lethality of the 1903, and so he purchased a Winchester Model 54 in .30-’06 Sprg. The serial number, 207, confirms its early production in 1925. My father hunted successfully with his Model 54 for more than 40 years…
