Packaging and Labeling Venison Meat

Well, we’ve made a dent in filling the freezer for the next year.  We were almost down to just plain empty, except for the whitewing the Doveslayer  (a.k.a. Deerslayer, depending on the time of year) brought home during the season in September.  I actually… Continue Reading “Packaging and Labeling Venison Meat”

Ain’t It a Shame?

Deerslayer and I have been to two different hunting camps since the season began.  I’m eager to fill the empty spaces in the freezers and Deerslayer is eager to hunt.  Thanksgiving was spent at a hunting camp in South Texas and, previously, we headed… Continue Reading “Ain’t It a Shame?”

What Doesn’t Kill Us Makes Us Stronger (or Surviving Bees)

What started out as an eagerly anticipated road trip to our hunting camp ended up as something that would’ve made even Alfred Hitchcock shudder.  That’s the way things often roll for the Deerslayer clan. “What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger.” “God never gives… Continue Reading “What Doesn’t Kill Us Makes Us Stronger (or Surviving Bees)”

I… Continue Reading “Venison/Wild Pork Picadillo”

Venison and Barley Soup

Okay, it isn’t officially autumn yet.  It sure as hell doesn’t feel like it here in the Rio Grande Valley,  But Fall is my favorite time of year, dammit, and I will be attaching a wreath to the door that signifies my love of… Continue Reading “Venison and Barley Soup”

Rock Doves: Good and Plentiful Eatin’

I made an interesting and tasty discovery after my Doveslayer’s very successful dove hunt last week.   Limits were had all ’round. For the first time, rock doves were harvested. They are also called feral pigeon and are hugely plentiful.Sadly, when they’re called pigeon… Continue Reading “Rock Doves: Good and Plentiful Eatin’”

It’s Here! Whitewing Season!

This weekend, my Deerslayer becomes a Whitewing slayer.  It’s the beginning of Whitewing season in South Texas.  Members of the Deerslayer Clan have converged on our neck-o’-the-woods from states near and far for this illustrious occasion.  Our junior deerslayer and her cousins will be… Continue Reading “It’s Here! Whitewing Season!”

Never Enough Cookies*

 Oatmeal Cookies With Dark Chocolate, Pecans and Dried Cranberries Since the school year is beginning for my younger deerslayer, I find myself thinking of packed lunches, things to pack into an awesome lunch box (which is important), and of course, cookies.  Nothing says love like… Continue Reading “Never Enough Cookies*”

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?”
