Embracing the Hunting Lifestyle
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”
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”
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.”
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!”

Luckily, I was younger, less affected by gravity, if… Continue Reading “Stupidly Easy Venison and Veggie Soup (with Noodles)”
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?”
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?”
