Embracing the Hunting Lifestyle
Okay, this isn’t actually an emergency. But it IS one of those things that needs to be said early in the hunting season. Read on. As many of you know, I’m a huge fan of Hank Shaw, celebrated author of several outstanding wild game… Continue Reading “Hunters, Read This Before It’s Too Late!”
It’s really hot outside. And, yet, it’s time to start preparing for deer season. It’s time to fill feeders and fix feeder pens. And check on the game cameras. It’s time to clean out coolers. For the Deerslayer’s Wife, it’s also time to start… Continue Reading “TexMex Venison and/or Wild Pork Enchiladas”
So, hunters, there is a new movement in the food world. Recently, many marketers are advertising their edibles as “CLEAN”. Watch for it on commercials for restaurants, boxed make-at-home meals, and gourmet food for dogs. Clean eating and clean cooking are now “the new thing”. The… Continue Reading “Clean Eating and How Hunting Fits In”

I take pride in having more whitewing recipes than the average Doveslayer’s wife. Every dove hunter loves dove breast with a slice of jalapeño and wrapped in bacon and tossed on the grill. It’s the pretty much the gold standard. Everybody loves it. When I… Continue Reading “Dove Breast Crostini”
Well, friends, I’ve really dropped the ball this time. The opening of whitewing season has come and gone in South Texas and I didn’t post any acknowledgement whatsoever. Not a recipe, a “let’s get ready”, or a “good luck hunters”. Sometimes things get kinda… Continue Reading “Dove Ravioli in Browned Butter”
It’s time to gear up for the annual Deerslayer Camping Trip. Every year the entire clan (three generations) converges upon southern Wyoming for two weeks. We’ve been doing it for years. In its heyday, there would be sixty-plus people coming and going during the… Continue Reading “Jalapeno/Wild Pork/Bacon Snacks”
When it comes to food and the important role that it plays in our lives, it is not surprising that some foods seem to form connections in our minds with events and special times. Bar-b-que and beer make most people think of outdoor get-togethers with family… Continue Reading “Lovely and Delicate Wild Pork and Mushroom Quiche”
