Hunting Gear at the Right Price

Sometimes when I buy hunting gear I want the best. That usually means a quality name brand that is known, rated well, and I know I can trust. Other times, name brands just mean more money and that’s all. I shop at Cabela’s a lot because of the selection and the brands. But what’s my second favorite place to shop for hunting gear? It’s a place where I know I will get a great deal and won’t spend very much. It’s Walmart.
I have found some absolutely amazing deals on hunting supplies at WalMart. After hunting season, I bought a treestand that normally sells for $179 for $49. It was such a great deal I bought 2 of them. Some of my favorite hunting t-shirts come from Walmart.
Here’s the deal. Walmart has great prices every day. The $179 treestand I bought is normally $99 there. That’s a great deal to start with. And then when they mark it down after the season… well that’s just a steal! You can shop at Walmart online and you can see their deals, called “rollbacks”. Shop by category, camo pattern or species you want to hunt. They have a great selection at great prices.

Happy Hunting!

Cabela’s Big Game Hunter

Last night I got out my Cabela’s Big Game Hunter for the Wii and started playing it. I started with some target practice. It starts you out with easier targets and they get harder and harder. You can shoot all kinds of geese and ducks and then it moves you to rabbits and deer before you start getting attacked by mountain lions and bear! It’s very addictive and fun!
Finally, once I had the controls down and was confident about my shooting abilities, I moved on to the hunts. Again… the first hunt is simple and walks you though all of the controls which it actually does a very nice job of. Each hunt consists of hunting for several animals. And then there are a dozen different hunts that get more and more difficult.
I’m don’t play video games very often. I’d rather spend my time doing something a bit more useful. But I will have to admit that Cabela’s Big Game Hunter is a surprisingly fun game and a bit addictive. If you like hunting you’re going to like this game. I had a great time playing it and highly recommend it.
Happy Hunting!

Shoot or Don’t Shoot?

When it comes to learning, games and interactive media are wonderful! Computers and the internet have made learning many new things fun rather than grueling. Hunting education and safety are now easier than ever as well as fun!
When hunting, we tend to get excited when we have an animal in our sights. But just because they’re in your sights doesn’t mean you should pull the trigger. When IS the correct time to pull the trigger? What is a good angle and what is a bad angle? If you pull the trigger, is the animal going to fall down dead because it was a good shot, or is it going to run away hurt?
The interactive game, Shoot or Don’t Shoot, is a good way to learn if you should shoot or not shoot a deer depending on the angle it is at or what is between you and the deer. Brought to you buy the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, this is a wonderful interactive learning exercise that is very educational and useable.

Free Online Hunter Safety Courses

One of the most important and essential components of hunting is safety. It is a basic element. It is a building block in which all other hunting activities are based on and built upon. Whether we are hunting alone on our own private property or on public land with countless other hunters around us, we should always be looking through our proverbial safety glasses.
It is always heart wrenching to hear stories about hunting accidents. Of course, no matter how much you know and prepare, an accident can happen. But many accident are avoidable. No matter how much you know, you don’t know everything. You can always learn something new. Even an old dog.
My butcher, Bryson, told me a good story the other day. He was standing there cleaning and butchering an elk that was hanging and an old man hobbled by. The old man stopped and watched Bryson for a while. Finally the old man piped up, “What the hell do you think you’re doing?!”
“Butchering an elk,” Bryson said, a little more than annoyed by the nosy old man.
The old man raised an eyebrow. “Well that might be what you think you’re doing anyway!” And with that, he proceeded to walk over to Bryson and show him a thing or two about butchering.
It ends up that the old man was a butcher for over 60 years. He knew a lot. Bryson has also been doing his job for some time and his father was a butcher too. Bryson was smart. He didn’t have to know everything. He recognized immediately that this old man had a lot to teach and that he had a lot to learn. He shut his mouth and learned a lot that day.
So again… no matter how much we know, we can always learn more. And hunter safety is so important that we should always assume there is more to learn. Lives depend on it.
Let me introduce you to Hunter-ed.com. They offer free online safety courses for your state (33 states at this time). You simply choose your state and register for free. They have made the official state curriculum fun and easy. You can learn at your own pace with engaging and interactive animations and videos. Learning hunting safety has never been so easy!
This is MY next step on my hunting to-do list. I hope to see you there!
Happy Hunting!

This is from NevadaFoodies.com:
Antelope black bean and white corn tacos
Hi there I’m a female hunter who loves the Nevada outdoors, cooking and photography. We recently pulled a Bull Elk Tag last year for Nevada and after that we had freezers packed full of elk meat. I decided as a tribute to the elk that I would design a website full of elk recipes showcasing just how flavorful wild game meat can be.
NevadaFoodies.com is the beginning of a collaborative effort to document creative and flavorful Wild Game Recipes such as Elk, Venison, Antelope, Chukar, Dove, Sage Hen, Duck, Goose and more. The website also features photography of the game recipes as well as photography from Nevada’s great outdoors. If you have recipes or would like to share your comments – please let me know what you think.
I truly value other cooks opinions…. Here’s a few Elk Recipes that I have recently cooked up and showcased on the website:
- Green Chili Elk Enchiladas
- Elk Sliders with Pancetta Bacon and Smoked Mozzarella
- Crustless Elk Sausage and Mushroom Parmesan Quiche
- Elk Filet with Creamy Alfredo and Mushrooms
- Elk Italian Sausage Pizza with Ricotta Cheese, sautéed Mushrooms and Onion
- Baked Elk-n-Sage Ravioli
——————————————————————————————
NevadaFoodies.com truly is a wonderful website with amazing and extraordinary recipes! Check it out and you won’t be sorry!
Happy Hunting!
