Robert Stalley of South Dakota successfully killed a deer and a black bear. But he was labeled a “poacher” when he tried to pass one off as the other and got busted by Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW).
There’s a brown paper bag in my freezer right now whose sole purpose is to keep me from seeing the last two pieces of Antelope meat from last fall. If I see them, I’ll want to eat them, but I’m keeping them in reserve so I can compare them side by side with black bear meat. I’m trying to figure out which of the two is my favorite.
Folks from across North America gathered in Boise, Idaho last weekend at the annual meeting of the world’s fastest growing conservation group, Backcountry Hunters and Anglers.

The chances are that you don’t hunt enough rabbits, which is really too bad. They are tasty, challenging, and a fun way to get outside.… Read More »You Should Hunt More Rabbits
This stew is like a chicken soup—in fact, if you didn’t tell anyone it was rabbit, they’d assume it was chicken. It’s hearty and doesn’t take a lot of prep.

The CZ 712 G2 shotgun is excellent. You’ll love everything about it, especially if you get the Green version. The look and finish, the way it comes up and points, the feel as it shoots–it’s all terrific. Even CZ-USA’s customer service is top notch.

Sometimes I just need to defrost a piece of meat and get it done for dinner right now.
