Embracing the Hunting Lifestyle
I have to admit that I’ve sometimes imagined what it would be like to have my own cooking show. I doubt that it would be on the Food Network since I don’t have that kind of “presence”. But then, where? Food Network is just… Continue Reading “Waste Not!”
Well, it’s Labor Day weekend in the Rio Grande Valley of Texas. That means that the Deerslayer (Doveslayer) family has come from far and wide to hunt whitewing doves. It’s an annual event that has taken place for as many years as I’ve been… Continue Reading “Labor Day Whitewing Hunt! What Do I Do With These Birds?”

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”
Many years ago, Deerslayer received a Cutco hunting knife from his dad as a gift. Of course, it was a favorite because it was from the patriarch of the Deerslayer clan. It was also a great knife that carries a lifetime guarantee that, for the… Continue Reading “The Perfect Gift”
