    Iraq Update - August 2017

    Fellow Hunt Talkers - I recently updated my blog here with a letter I sent to my family and friends recently, if you are interested. It has some pictures of Mosul and a description of the absolute destruction there...

    Bourbon Post - Smooth Ambler Contridiction

    Fellow Hunt Talkers - I spent the week ahead of Memorial Day in Myrtle Beach with two of my great friends that I served in Iraq with. This has become an annual outing for our families, and I find myself looking forward to it more and more every year. I can remember in the late 70's and...

If you...

    Pressure Canning Venison and Sausage Patties

    I was skunked the final weekend of the deer season here in Alabama, so I decided to try out pressure canning some venison, wild hog and sausage patties. This is the first time I have done this, and the canner is a Christmas gift from the wife this year. One jar of venison didn't seal, so...

    Mississippi Hogs

    I was hunting last weekend with my brother on some family land in South MS. After two days, I had struck out and needed to head back to North AL for work. He stayed and hunted an extra day, and ends up killing these two hogs within an hour of each other right in the middle of the day. The...

    Biased Elk Shoulder Roast

    Cooked for the wife's boss yesterday. She said he had heard the "big dead elk" story enough and wanted to try some. I am out of shanks, and am down to the last few precious steaks, so I decided to make a braised shoulder roast. Cooked this using Hank Shaw's osso bucco recipie, and served...

    Alabama BHA Chapter

    Fellow Hunt Talkers, I am in the initial stages of forming an Alabama state chapter of the Backcountry Hunters and Anglers, and am working to get the work out across as many platforms as possible. I know there are a few AL members of the HT community, and I am hoping this will get some looks...

    Quick Elk Sloppy Joes

    We have been working really late saving up our time off for an extended vacation this fall, and needed a quick meal tonight. I decided to make sloppy joes with some ground elk, but failed to have the meat thawed prior to starting. This meal went from freezer to plate in about 20 minutes, and...

    Elk Backstrap

    I have been hoarding and coveting the backstraps all year, not wanting to break them out because I didn’t want to use them up too soon. Man, was that dumb. Tonight, we had backstrap grilled using Hank Shaw's method here: http://honest-food.net/2011/08/31/grilled-venison-loin/ The butter...

    Elk Rib BBQ

    I saved as much of the rib cages off my elk as possible, as they had a fair bit of meat left on them, and I was trucking out - not packing out. I read an article about a family that had an elk rib BBQ every year, so I tried their method: simmer the ribs in water for a couple hours to break...

    Camo Field Test

    Went out for the last day of small game hunting today, and came up with a big nada. It was cold, there was still lots of snow on the ground, and a bit windy so that likely had something to do with the outcome -this is Alabama after all, snow shuts everything here down. No rabbit stew for us...

    Turkey Load Testing FEB 2015

    With the one day of spring like weather we have had in North AL this month and deer season over, my turkey hunting juices are flowing pretty hard right now. I have not patterned my gun in a few years, so I decided to grab some targets and two loads to see how things stand. Gun: Remington...

    Kentucky Cow Elk Hunt - DEC 2014

    I was lucky enough to draw a KY cow elk tag for the first rifle season this year. This is my story of the hunt. This started in March of 2014 when I was at Fort Knox for Army Reserve Training. I had noticed several large whitetail deer on the range complex, and was looking on the post...

    Hello from North AL

    Greetings from Huntsville, AL. I have been drawn to the site as I was lucky enough to draw a KY elk tag this year (cow - rifle- first week) and have no elk experience at all. I have been on a massive information binge over the last several months, and my education continues. I look forward...
