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.
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?

The communication staff of the Mule Deer Foundation partnered with our conservation experts in the field to test seven different packs built for hunting to see which held up the best in which environment and which was our overall favorite and pick as the best packs for mule deer hunting.
A deep dive into the North American Grasslands Conservation Act, a groundbreaking piece of legislation aimed at preserving and restoring one of the continent’s most vital ecosystems.
December has come again. The season started with such promise, full of aspirations for massive antlers fitting perfectly in the empty space on the wall. A winter of deer steaks and chili enjoyed while retelling the story of conquest, of trials and tribulations that lead to the meal before you. A summer spent practicing with your rifle and optics, buying the newest “must have” gear, and watching every Mule Deer hunting video on the internet lead to a September full of deliberate scouting and combing the fields and sage flats for your target buck in anticipation of opening day.
At the most basic, meatball recipes combine ground or chopped meats, functional ingredients and flavoring components. Bread crumbs, crackers, or a cooked grain are for body and prevent the toughness that happens when muscle fibers shrink as they cook. Eggs, sometimes bread soaked in milk, water or a broth bind all of the ingredients for simplifying the forming and cooking process. Those are all functional ingredient options that build the basic structure that can be simple or complex, depending on which regional result you want to create. Adding specific flavoring components from seasonings, spices or aromatics is what really defines your dish and makes it embrace the style you have intended for it. Onions, garlic, lemon grass, citrus and fresh herbs can transform any combination of your functional ingredients and send it to the far reaches of the earth.
