Wild Turkey Thanksgiving and the Zombie Apocalypse

Hunters, This is a Game-Changer! Sous Vide Cooking for Wild Game

I’ve never thought of myself as a trend setter. Nor have I ever been one of those people who stands in line to be the first to own the newest gadget. More of a traditionalist, I’d say.

Dove Ravioli in Browned Butter

Well, friends, I’ve really dropped the ball this time.  The opening of whitewing season has come and gone in South Texas and I didn’t post any acknowledgement whatsoever.

Spicy Marinara Venison Burgers

The other day, a wine-induced conversation ensued in the Deerslayer household regarding the best of all culinary goodness .
