Breakfast Venison Sour Dough Crepes

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.

Shoot a Whitetail for goodness sake…

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.

Some reading recommendations to get ready to head west.

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?
