A hunt here in Wisconsin was one for the ages for this bowhunter. The day was overcast, drizzly and super windy, but I decided to give it a try anyway. I settled into my ground blind at about 2:30 with hopes of seeing some turkeys or maybe a doe for the freezer. No turkeys showed […]
Venison appetizers can get the party started for just about any occasion – holiday gatherings, cookouts, birthday parties, tailgating and more – especially when those venison appetizers combine jalapenos, cream cheese and venison sausage!
Have you ever wanted to donate deer meat (or even a whole deer) but didn’t know how to do it or where you should even start? The process is pretty painless in most areas of the country, and, in fact, is usually as simple as dropping your deer off at a registered meat processor. Each […]
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so why not use some of your fantastic venison to create great meals to get the day started right!
One of the best things to order at our local Indian restaurant is Chicken Tikka Masala, mainly because they prepare it well and regularly enough that in my opinion it’s difficult to screw up.

NSSF presents this social media campaign in a five-part infographic series that will re-introduce hunters […]
“Nice 2-year-old! At least the meat will be tender and taste good.” I couldn’t help but smile when a Millennial wrote that comment underneath my Facebook post that included this photo. I was tempted to reply that Abraham Lincoln was spot-on when he said it’e better to remain silent and be thought a fool than […]
As goes the difficulty of effort goes the degree of celebration. That’s what I always say, and nothing personifies enormous effort manifesting enormous celebration quite like deerhunting. Since 90% of my deer are bagged with the ridiculously borderline impossibility of bowhunting, when after much prolonged patience testing sacrifice, a lifetime of indefatigable stealth honing dedication […]
If you’re feeling romantic tonight or on Valentine’s Day or, well, basically anytime, it’s tough to beat a great meal with venison and lobster with your bestie. Venison and lobster? Mmmm, what a great combination. If you don’t like lobster or can’t get it, perhaps you could substitute crab or crayfish. But most specialty shops and […]
