Embracing the Hunting Lifestyle
I love to cook. I’m guessing that anyone who reads these posts does, too. It’s important to me to use the wild game that my Deerslayer fills our freezer with… and to use as much of the animal as possible. I’m not sure why… Continue Reading “Making Stock”
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”
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”
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)”

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”
(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”
