Embracing the Hunting Lifestyle
For me, one of the most difficult things to plan for when heading out for a weekend at the hunting camp is what groceries to take. I don’t want to take so much food that it will end up back in the cooler and… Continue Reading “Grocery List for Three Meals at the Hunting Camp”
It’s really hot outside. And, yet, it’s time to start preparing for deer season. It’s time to fill feeders and fix feeder pens. And check on the game cameras. It’s time to clean out coolers. For the Deerslayer’s Wife, it’s also time to start… Continue Reading “TexMex Venison and/or Wild Pork Enchiladas”
Get a bunch of hunters sittin’ around a fire and ask ’em what they think of axis deer meat. I’m guessing that the consensus, after a couple of contemplative sips of beer and a good deal of head-nodding, is that axis meat is top notch. The… Continue Reading “Axis Bacon-Wrapped Garlic Roast”
Every hunter knows that the backstrap is one of the most prized cuts of meat from a deer hunting harvest. Seared or fried up into steaks, it just doesn’t get any better. However, up near the neck of the deer, there’s some meat that… Continue Reading “Backstrap Scraps with Mushroom and Onion Gravy”
I’ve seen axis deer for years on drives through the Texas Hill Country. Usually, they’re behind the high fences of hunting ranches. Sometimes they’re dead on the side of the road, having escaped from one of those ranches and not having kept up with the… Continue Reading “A First! An Axis Buck!”
Well, friends, that lull that occurs between dove season and deer season down here in South Texas has come and gone. Before things got too hectic, before my house was once again piled with coolers and camo, while I still had some control over my… Continue Reading “Dark Chocolate Zucchini Rubbish Muffins”
I take pride in having more whitewing recipes than the average Doveslayer’s wife. Every dove hunter loves dove breast with a slice of jalapeño and wrapped in bacon and tossed on the grill. It’s the pretty much the gold standard. Everybody loves it. When I… Continue Reading “Dove Breast Crostini”
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. Not a recipe, a “let’s get ready”, or a “good luck hunters”. Sometimes things get kinda… Continue Reading “Dove Ravioli in Browned Butter”
This is one of my favorite desserts of all time. It is the perfect ending to a delicious meal of Venison/Nilgai/Wild Pork Enchiladas with Creamy Poblano Sauce. And Pheasant Enchiladas with tomatillo sauce. And Faux Venison Barbacoa. You get the idea. Flan is perfect. Texture, creamy.… Continue Reading “Flan, Heaven on a Plate!”
Recently, during our annual camping trip to Wyoming, I offered to make a side dish for one of the dinners for the 44 campers in our group. I brought all the ingredients to make a coleslaw recipe that’s pretty popular in the Deerslayer household.… Continue Reading “Cool and Spicy Coleslaw”
