After I killed my first elk, I had a bunch of roasts and wanted a creative way to use some. So, I invented a new dish. Since then, I have used elk, deer, bear. moose, caribou and beef. But with beef make sure it is as lean as possible. I am sure any other red meat would be just as good.

My dad was almost 41 when I was born. He had done some pheasant hunting when he was in his twenties and on a few occasions throughout his life he had gone deer hunting with his brother but never really got into it. He liked fishing and like to read about both hunting and fishing, so he...
For the first time in forever, I don't plan on hunting elk this year. I've lost my last hunting buddy and with my broken-down body I couldn't pack an elk out if I killed it. I would have to just build a fire and start cooking, I guess. I think I can still wrestle a blacktail deer out of the...
The opportunity to be more informed is definitely greater than it used to be. The information is there and easily accessible, but I don't think very many people are better informed than in the past.
The old saying " I'll believe it when I see it" has been replace by "I'll see it when I believe...

When I was a kid, we would roast marshmallows over a campfire but never made S'mores. I think my dad was too cheap to spring for the graham crackers and chocolate. When my kids were growing up, we made tons of S'mores. The only problem is that I learned at a young age that I don't like roasted...
I guess I got lucky having a good dad. He had every reason to not be a good dad or even a good person. His mom killed herself when he was young, and his abusive dad died of a heart attack when he was 14. He was then taken in by his aunt and uncle who already had too many kids to raise. He had to...
When I was 11 my dad decided to take up deer hunting. He had hunted birds when he was younger but never big game. He didn't want to brave the crowd during rifle season, so he bought a recurve bow and some arrows and got pretty good at shooting them. Opening weekend, he took me with him up to...
When my girls were kids, we went tent camping all the time. The campfire always seemed to be the focal point. The first dinner was always hotdogs the kids roasted over the fire themselves. In the evening, we just sat around the fire enjoying each other's company and eating smores of course. Kids...
When I was working, anytime I had a free moment in the morning before heading out to the job site, I would sharpen my axe. One morning, one of the new summer temps asked, "why are you aways sharpening that axe?" I didn't look up and just kept on sharpening as I said," a good axe murderer always...
@Lov2hunt, I think your taking offence where none was intended. People rarely open up to a complete stranger, in real life or on the internet. You got to take the time to get to know people and them to know you. You have a total of 60 posts in six years. that's an average of 10 posts a year and...
I wonder how many Hunt Talkers are guilty of this same crime. It is my understanding that Biden is the first person to be charged of this as a standalone crime. Everyone else charged was also charged with committing some other crime with the firearm. That may speak to motives for bringing...
