Stacked up some snow geese last month for my first time and have been wanting to try making goose pastrami. I took a few breast out of the freezer and made a trial batch. The process is overall pretty simple it just takes a handful of days to let the meat brine. I went with a dry brine and...

Went turkey hunting with my daughter Sunday evening and we didn't see or hear any birds but I did find my first sheds and stumbled upon a small patch of morels. Made some elk steaks for dinner and a morel risotto with a side of asparagus. Came out pretty damn good. Never made a risotto before.

I am going on my first 5 day solo elk hunt next month out here in ID and been getting prepped for sometime but curious on what are some things you wish you knew before or things you changed after your first multi-day hunts. Things you now bring that are a game changer that you wish you knew...

Changed up the version of Sportsman's pie that @NBK had posted up on here sometime ago. Been making some cooking videos and figured I'd share. My wife made me the account because she wanted me to remember the stuff I would cook. I honestly didn't start cooking until I got into hunting about 6...

I want to add a turkey box call to my Turkey arsenal this season. I usually only run mouth calls and a slate pot call. Any recommendations on ones that have worked well for you or that you feel sound better then others?

I headed up to Lake Cascade for a 2 day ice fishing tournament this past weekend. The lake is known around the country for having one of the best jumbo yellow perch fisheries. They grown them big here. The state record is 3.22 lbs with a lot averaging 2lbs. I've never ice fished before so it was...

Well my buddy and I got out for the last day of the season. Been in the single digits out here..warmed up to 12° this morning so we headed out.

My buddy from work wants to get more serious about waterfowling. We went out a few times together but he doesn't have waders. We tried looking for some in his shoe size but can't seem to find any in size 16. Looks like most brands go up to size 14. Even looked at the stocking foot ones but can't...

I finally got my first green head! Started hunting ducks 3 years ago and have only shot some green wings, a buffle head and a ruddie. Been hoping to get one since I started and finally got one yesterday morning while hunting the Snake River out here in Idaho. The Snake is only about 30 min...

Wasn't sure if I should post here or in the food thread.. Went to a pond nearby and did some trout fishing. Tried a few different setups but went back to the classic carolina rig and started catching them. The first one I caught I released for good luck since it was the first trout I caught out...

Went out last week to try and toss my crawfish trap into the Snake river but upon arrivel there wasn't a good spot to toss it out. It was shallow along the shore and lots of reeds along the river bank. I only had about a 3 hr window to toss out so I figured I'd just toss out for some catfish...

Tried my hand at Crawfish trapping out here in Idaho. To my surprise apparently a lot the canals, creeks, ponds, lakes and rivers out here hold crawfish and some are pretty big! My wife came across a facebook page from a company called Crayster that makes and sells traps and we noticed they...
