Take Better Buck Pictures

Later when you have regained cell service you send the photos out to friends and family only to learn the pictures don’t come close to doing justice to the deer, the moment of triumph, or your struggle.

Use leftover Stew meat to make Venison Saag.

A big aspect of Indian cuisine, aside from its eclectic spices, is often its slow-braise method of cooking, sometimes preceded by marinating meat in a yogurt base. Because yogurt is a mild acid, it will aid in denaturing meat. A braise will further tenderize meat and in the case of game in less-than-ideal condition, these two methods, when combined, can turn that package of stew meat at the bottom of your freezer into a dish that will instantly rise to the top and become a family favorite.

What does a CWD Study in Wisconsin have to do with mule deer across the West?

Results from the Wisconsin DNR’s largest deer and chronic wasting disease (CWD) study ever undertaken show that the disease substantially reduces deer survival rates, and suppresses deer population growth.
Dr. Dan Storm, DNR ungulate research scientist, reported the results of the seven-year study in southwest Wisconsin to the Natural Resources Board Jan. 22.
“People should expect to see fewer deer in areas of high CWD prevalence,” Storm said. “Deer are not going to go extinct, but there will be fewer of them.”
