After a long season, you are hopefully returning home with a mule deer or black-tailed deer in your truck bed that you want to get mounted. What mount is better has long been discussed; at the end of the day, it comes down to personnel preference. I am a big Euromount guy; when they are correctly done, they just look sharp. They also can be done at home, saving you some of those long waits at the Taxidermist and some cash. So, with that in mind, here are three ways you can DIY your buck into a sick euro mount.
Chevron Donates $25,000.00 to the Mule Deer Foundation to help put more deer on the ground in Colorado!
In the week or so after the holidays, when the crowds of family, friends, and other guests have left when the once seemingly endless stream of leftovers in the fridge runs dry, you are left in a dilemma of having to cook again even if the kitchen burnout is still there. At times like this, I lean on Chilli as a wintertime staple that requires little effort from me and leaves the family full and happy.
I like using wild game meats for breakfast meals because it is when I put on my best thinking cap. Dinner recipes tend to fall towards a variation on a steak. Sharing wild game is one of my favorite ways to start a conversation about hunting, wild lands conservation, or even just life in general. To make everyone feel comfortable, I tend to make dinner meals that feel familiar, like a steak with a mushroom sauce or brown gravy, and then switch the wild game in. Breakfast seems to be the time when I stray away from the familiar and share something a little bit different.
For some, Blacktail deer hunting is over for the season and now it is time to serve up that bounty. There is nothing like warming yourself up with a fun and lively dinner shared with family and friends in the middle of winter. I have had the opportunity to dine with our Alaskan legend, Jim Baichtal and his wife Karen, several times over the past few years and the first thing I thought of was reaching out to these two blacktail aficionados. So, I asked Jim what was one of his favorite black-tail recipes, and oh “Deer” did we get one!!
It’s Christmas week here on the Mule Deer Foundation and Blacktail Deer Foundation comms team so we thought we would have a little fun. When you waited years to finally draw that big buck mule deer tag in a stellar unit it can be a miserable time when you’re staring at an un-notched tag on the last day of your hunt.
We work across 18 states with multiple federal and state agencies looking at forests of all shapes and sizes trying to work out and implement a sustainable forestry plan.

Hunting season is over and most of the lower 48. You may have a late season muzzleloader tag for a primitive weapons tag burning a hole in your pocket, but for the rest of us the 2024 season is done. What should I do now? After 90+ days of chasing bucks and ducks or grouse free time may feel strange. It’s a bit too cold out to start practicing marksmanship for next season. You can only put so much time into buying preference points, or applying for tags, and eventually scanning OnX in the evening for ridges or saddles you may have missed gets boring. When the boredom finds you one of the best ways to spend, the winter is sitting next to the fire with a good book. What follows are a few winter reading suggestions from the Mule Deer Foundation and Blacktail Deer Foundation?
Get it? Like Shepards Pie but with Conservation Steward? Anyway, this is a great winter ground deer recipe that’s super simple to make and will fill you up with warm delicious wild game on this cold winter days after checking the trapline, ice fishing or even skiing if that’s your thing. Try this “Stewards Pie” recipe this weekend.
