Classic Wild Game Meat Pie

There are certain times when a savory meat pie hits the spot like nothing else. I have no doubt that Sherlock Holmes would eat a delicious meat pie.   Make it with wild game (venison, elk, nilgai, wild pork) and it can’t be beat.… Continue Reading “Classic Wild Game Meat Pie”

A New Year, A New Nilgai

The Deerslayer household has been blessed to start 2015 with our second nilgai in the freezer. It was a pretty big deal… comparable to when our daughters were born. It was a goal that Deerslayer had set for himself during this hunting season.  Mission… Continue Reading “A New Year, A New Nilgai”

Clearly, I Need to Share a Wild Pork Recipe.

For those of you that follow along with the daily ins and outs of the Deerslayer household, you have recently discovered that we have become the proud owners of a plethora of wild pork.  Deerslayer slew 6 wild pigs a couple of weeks ago.… Continue Reading “Clearly, I Need to Share a Wild Pork Recipe.”

Quail Season!

I’d never really thought much about quail.  They’re really cute and funny to watch, running around, zigging and zagging this way and that.  I’d ordered them in restaurants a time or two and they tasted pretty good.  But I’d never really given them a second… Continue Reading “Quail Season!”

Cheese Enchiladas with Nilgai (or Venison) Chili Con Carne

Let it be known, here and now, that the Deerslayer’s wife loves Tex-Mex food.  I always have and I always will. The evolution of the mix of traditional Mexican cuisine with what was available in Texas in the early days of our great state resulted… Continue Reading “Cheese Enchiladas with Nilgai (or Venison) Chili Con Carne”

No, I Didn’t forget Whitewing Season!

I know my readers are thinking, “What the heck?  Where’s the post heralding the beginning of Bird Season?”  Well, fear not!  Bird Season was celebrated with much hoop-la down in these parts.  The sporting goods stores were packed to the gills with hunters, feverishly… Continue Reading “No, I Didn’t forget Whitewing Season!”

Faux Barbacoa (Nilgai or Venison)

Living in South Texas is unlike anything else in the world!  There are daily experiences that one would expect  to find only in more remote regions of Mexico.  For example, dodging crates of cactus pads that have covered the street after falling from an… Continue Reading “Faux Barbacoa (Nilgai or Venison)”

Stupidly Easy Venison and Veggie Soup (with Noodles)

Back when I was a young deerslayer’s wife, I honestly didn’t have a lot going for me from a culinary point of view. I hadn’t cooked much and had no experience at all with wild game. Luckily, I was younger, less affected by gravity, if… Continue Reading “Stupidly Easy Venison and Veggie Soup (with Noodles)”

All Cooked Up and Nowhere to Go?

Last week, during an unexpected (and appreciated) cool spell,  I took advantage of the opportunity to cook up fifteen pounds of Nilgai rib meat, using my “Cook-All-Day” recipe.  From meat that many hunters would toss out, I produced five delicious meals, right off the… Continue Reading “All Cooked Up and Nowhere to Go?”

Is Rib Meat Worth Saving?

As most of my readers know, Deerslayer and I were blessed with a harvest of South Texas nilgai back in January.  Other than elk, it provided more meat than anything I’ve ever encountered.  With careful packaging (and three freezers) we were able to accommodate ALL of… Continue Reading “Is Rib Meat Worth Saving?”
