One day this past November, after my husband and I had spent a long, cold day hiking through the snowy woods in a fruitless search for a monster Idaho whitetail buck, we decided to stop for dinner at “Hoots”, a small roadside café at the foot of the mountains. It is a popular spot for […]

Recipe – Venison Lettuce Wraps
Venison Lettuce Wraps – When it comes to cooking I always like to take a basic recipe and change things to either make it spicier, more flavorful, or healthier. Everyone has made soft or crispy tacos and has probably used the normal ground beef or venison, beans, cheese, lettuce, tomato etc but I make them […]

Bear Sausage Recipe – Great for Biscuits and Gravy
My husband and I have been lucky enough to harvest two large bears over the past few years. Our favorite thing to make from bear meat is ground sausage that we love to use for biscuits and gravy. We have also used bear sausage in spaghetti, as pizza topping, and in many recipes that call for hamburger. – The secret to great tasting bear meat is to trim away all fat and sinew. This is a recipe for a seasoning blend to make a delicious sausage and can be made with bear meat, venison, elk, or pork. – Enjoy! – Per pound of meat: ¼ lb. pork fat 1 tsp. salt ½ tsp. dried parsley ¼ tsp. rubbed sage ¼ tsp. ground black pepper ¼ tsp. dried thyme ¼ tsp. crushed red pepper ¼ tsp. coriander – Run meat through grinder to desired consistency. Mix pork fat evenly. In a bowl, combine salt, parsley, sage, pepper, thyme, red pepper, and coriander. Sprinkle evenly over ground meat mixture and mix with hands to distribute evenly throughout. – It is important to note that bear meat can carry the trichinosis parasite also once found in raw pork; therefore it must be cooked thoroughly in order to kill it.
