Embracing the Hunting Lifestyle
It’s New Year’s Day, rainy, and cold. Deerslayer has to work so I’m able to snuggle up, reflect, and plan for the future. It’s the time of year when everyone resolves to be a better, healthier, more exercise-conscious, Zen-like person. I’m old enough to… Continue Reading “New Year, New Outlook!”
There are so many things that make moms proud of their little ones. It starts with ultrasound pictures before the little guys are even born. Then come all the “firsts”; first solid food, first steps, first words, first successful potty visit. As time goes by,… Continue Reading “What Makes a Mother Proud (A Hunting Mindset)”
Deerslayer had a delicious meal in Vail a while ago that he was excited for me to research and try to replicate. He was so enthusiastic (and cute) that I couldn’t say, “no”. The dish was Osso Buco (which means bone with a… Continue Reading “Wild Game Osso Buco (Means “I Love You!”)”
Preface: My enthusiasm was greatly deflated when, on a whim, I checked the internet on the off -chance that someone in the blogosphere had also had the mind-blowing experience of preparing a turkey without the use of electricity or a bbq pit. I discovered,… Continue Reading “Trash Can Turkey”

Last week, during an unexpected (and appreciated) cool spell, I took advantage of the opportunity to cook up fifteen pounds of Nilgai rib meat, using my “Cook-All-Day” recipe. From meat that many hunters would toss out, I produced five delicious meals, right off the… Continue Reading “All Cooked Up and Nowhere to Go?”
When we’re in the throes of hunting season, all eyes seem to be on the more carnivorous endeavors. With what will we fill our freezers? That’s pretty much what’s on our minds and on the minds of my readers. Once the freezers are… Continue Reading “What’s Not to Love?”
In the two years that we’ve been hunting at the ranch in South Texas, Deerslayer has killed 4 sizable rattlesnakes, the one pictured being the smallest. Living with snakes is just part of life down here. It was after finding the first and largest… Continue Reading “More Snakes! Grab Those Fabulous Snake Boots!”
During this time of year when the temperatures have been hovering over the 100 degree mark in South Texas for as many days as I can remember, we do whatever we can to stay cool. Sometimes, it means that we just stay inside. It’s… Continue Reading “Are You Ready for Hunting Season?”
