Dirty Birding

Upland game hunts get me in a state of utter excitement. I feel like a child at Christmas, counting down each day until my next big hunt. The anticipation of getting out and hoping my efforts prove successful, while knowing that I am going to exert all of my energy walking or hiking upwards of 15 miles a day–there is nothing else quite like it.

How well do YOU know your Wild Game meats?

I have been cooking wild game since I was young and have learned the art of how to prepare it properly. Through this experiment I was able to see if people could taste the difference between a variety of different wild game including, elk, deer, antelope, and bighorn sheep. I was shocked with the results that not a single person was able to get at least one of them correct. It shows that people can not taste the difference and truly enjoy different types of wild game even if they have never tried it before.

“Ain’t too Proud to Beg”

As I quiet back down, my right bum cheek starts to go numb. My nose is running to who knows where, and I have a flock of not turkeys around me, but mosquitoes! Only my eyes are showing a small amount of flesh and of course a mosquito finds it. As I realize I’m getting nailed right on my eyebrow, my left bum cheek goes numb, I have an oak worm inching across my knee, and a spider crawling across the rim of my hat. I slowly flick off my buddies just as a gnat flies right into my eyeball. Direct hit! I rub most of him out except for what feels like his left wing. Serves him right! Where’s my turkey? Damn birds!!
