Are You Ready for Hunting Season?
During this time of year when the temperatures have been hovering over the 100 degree mark in South Texas for as many days as I can remember, we do whatever we can to stay cool. Sometimes, it means that we just stay inside. It’s… Continue Reading “Are You Ready for Hunting Season?”
What It’s All About (Camping for Non-Campers)
There are so many reasons that campers camp. My first camping experiences were not the greatest. Nature was not my friend. Nobody said there would be bugs or that I would have to sweat. Veteran campers never brought up the whole “powder room” issue.… Continue Reading “What It’s All About (Camping for Non-Campers)”
Now I’m Cookin’!
Some women love jewelry. Some can’t live without chocolates or perfume. There are those who live for furs. And don’t forget the flowers. My Deerslayer knows what tickles my fancy, blows my skirt up, sends me swooning. For our camping trip to Wyoming… Continue Reading “Now I’m Cookin’!”
Too Many Coolers on a Camping Trip?
Welllllll… the Deerslayer’s wife would’ve said, “Yup!” I would’ve drawn the line at the 6 other Igloo coolers that we already own. But these are Yeti coolers! And they’re made in TEXAS. Talk to any hunter about coolers and a distinct reverence is suddenly detected.… Continue Reading “Too Many Coolers on a Camping Trip?”
Too Much Bacon on a Camping Trip?
Don’t make me laugh! A vital part of the preparation for the much-anticipated Deerslayer Clan camping trip is deciding how much bacon to take. I have a previous post that explains how I prepare the bacon ahead of time and toss it on the… Continue Reading “Too Much Bacon on a Camping Trip?”

Camping and Pico de Gallo (and skinning fajitas!)
This is the time of year that I enjoy the most. My younger junior deerslayer and I have finished up her homeschool year. My older junior deerslayer turned 24 today. With these milestones under our belts, the entire family has switched into camping mode. … Continue Reading “Camping and Pico de Gallo (and skinning fajitas!)”
Waste Not Want Not
Venison Bolillo Tortas (Sandwiches) I’ve said before that, when it comes to hunting, it’s important to me to use as much of a harvested animal as possible. While my part in the hunting process is limited to preparation of the meat, I feel strongly… Continue Reading “Waste Not Want Not”
Not Always the Cat’s Meow (Venison Marsala)
Like every other deerslayer’s wife on the planet, as hunting season winds down, I come to the realization that, as much as I embrace my vocation, being the wife of a deer slayer isn’t always all that great. Don’t get me wrong! There’s no… Continue Reading “Not Always the Cat’s Meow (Venison Marsala)”
Venison and/or Wild Pork Enchiladas with Creamy Poblano Sauce
This recipe has become my “go to” meal to prepare for company; either a small get-together or a camping group of 50. I’ve received compliments from fans of wild game and friends who didn’t realize they were sharing God’s wild bounty. I really like this recipe… Continue Reading “Venison and/or Wild Pork Enchiladas with Creamy Poblano Sauce”
