“Backcountry Hunter Gear Guide”

Hunting in the Backcountry with only what you can carry in on your back can be an incredibly fun way to gain access to pieces of property not easily accessed. However, this self reliance sense of adventure also adds a level of complexity you don’t find when hunting via truck or base camp. Below we break down the Mule Deer Foundations packing list for a backcountry hunt with gear recommendations for each item and encourage you to give it a try for your next tag.

“Mule Deer Armadillo Eggs”

Armadillo eggs are a time-honored traditional appetizer of the Southwest. At the Mule Deer Foundation, we like to think of this appetizer as a great use of the excess mule deer grind left over at the end of the butchering day. For this Mule Deer Armadillo Eggs recipe we like to mix in 30% pork fat with our grind but whatever you have left over after your brats, or your summer sausage mix can work just as well. In fact, the more unique your blend of fat content and spices the better this appetizer becomes truly yours.
