Embracing the Hunting Lifestyle
Grinding Wild Game at Home Well, hunting season is over. The freezers are full of meat. For the most part, most of the hunting stuff has been put away. Life is good. And yet… it’s kinda sad. The Deerslayer clan is all about hunting.… Continue Reading “Deep Sigh!”
I have to admit, the title is a little misleading. It’s like determining the superiority of champagne with raspberries or strawberries. Gene Kelly or Fred Astaire (not in champagne, just dancing!). Both are outstanding in their own right. Don’t make… Continue Reading “Cooking Nilgai vs. Venison”
Wild game jerky is awesome! The Deerslayer clan loves it. There are several types; whole muscle jerky, some that is made from extruded ground meat (pressed out, ribbon-like, through an implement that looks like a caulk gun) and some that is pressed into casings… Continue Reading “Wild Game Jerky”
I have to say that I was almost as excited as Deerslayer when I found out that he’d gotten his first nilgai. We’d driven around the ranch looking for a blue bull for quite some time. It was decided that night around the… Continue Reading “Adventures in Nilgai Cooking”
Nilgai Excitement I received the text from Deerslayer shortly after 7:00 a.m. He wanted to know if I wanted to get some snapshots of a Nilgai for my blog. It was short and to the point but it spoke volumes. The unwritten meaning behind… Continue Reading “Nilgai? What the Hell is That?”
(and preparing Pan-Fried Venison Heart) As I read a post recently, from Andy at Tremendous Whatnot, I was reminded of the Deerslayer tradition of preparing a celebratory dinner for the lucky hunter who triumphantly brought his/her bounty back to camp. Photos are taken during… Continue Reading “On Being the Deerslayer’s Mother”
Living in South Texas, tamales have always been a staple and still a delicacy. The making of tamales has always inspired awe among those of us who were not lucky enough to have a heritage steeped in chilies, manteca (lard), beautifully seasoned meat, and… Continue Reading “Venison and Wild Pork Tamales”
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”
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?”
For the first time ever, I cooked (and ate) rabbit. I was very excited about it. Even though it was farm-raised and not wild rabbit it gave me a starting point. I’ve cooked venison, wild pork, elk, salmon, halibut, pheasant, white-wing dove, and rock… Continue Reading “Rabbit Braised in White Wine and Sage”
