We love easy weeknight meals, and love using the meat we've harvested ourselves and this recipe combines both to create a delicious Mexican dish! Ingredients: 2 lbs of ground venison (you can use 1lb but I like my enchiladas full and beefy so I use 2lbs) 1 tbsp onion flakes or diced onions 1 8oz can refried beans 1 8oz can Rico’s nacho cheese 1 28oz can red enchilada sauce 1 4.5oz can diced green chilies 1/2 cup of shredded cheese of your choice 1 package of large tortillas 1

As an avid archery deer hunter, scent control is one of my top priorities, not just while in the tree stand or ground blind, but during the

Choosing a good plot can be a tedious and confusing task. It seems like there are a million different options with really similar claims that all state that their specific product will “bring you the biggest bucks” or “provides the nutrition deer need and keeps them coming back”. While this is all good and well, it can be difficult to weed through what’s hocus pocus and what actually provides deer with the best nutrition to keep them healthy through the winter. We’ve been usi

We live in the land of the pines, so a food source is a must….feeders, food plots, and attractants. This is the first year that we will be a

When deer season rolls around, I get extremely giddy. Whitetail hunting is my favorite season when it comes to harvesting game. But what happens when hunting season ends? When hunting season ends, shed season begins. Every year it’s the same, we spend the whole summer preparing for fall and as soon as I get in my stand and am waiting on a hit-lister, I am reminded of how much I miss shed season. When to Start Looking As most of you know, whitetails will shed their antlers in

Before getting into my preparation, hunt, butchering, and advice, I want to say what my goal was - meat harvest. I only cared about filling

Getting today’s youth involved in hunting and the outdoors comes with a range of benefits. On an individual level, it teaches the young pers

It's the one thing that no hunter wants to talk about: Missing or making a bad shot. In my case, I had a taste of both!

Including our children in outdoor activities at an early age will set them up for a lifetime full of great adventures. Recently I sat down with my three nieces (ages 5, 7, 9) and we talked about their first few hunts, focusing on the things we did and some things we could have done differently to make each trip the best it could be. Hunter Safety: Prior to your hunt make sure the child you are taking understands gun/bow safety. My Dad always made me aware of how dangerous the

Alpine Innovations makes the BowSlicker Sling & Cam Guards and the BowSlicker System. They are both very similar with just one minor difference. The sling and cam guards are just that: a sling for carrying your bow that includes 2 pieces of silent, weatherproof fabric that covers and protects the cams on your bow. The BowSlicker System includes all of that, plus a string guard as well. I recently tested the BowSlicker System and am excited to share my results! My Results The

Some brands want you to think establishing a good deer food plot is as easy as throwing out a bag full of food plot seed mix and watching the deer come running. Well, if that’s your method, I wish you good luck. Establishing a good food plot takes time and planning. Choose the right location Depending on your property, you might have limited options on where to plant a food plot, but you still need to select the right location. Selecting a spot near bedding areas will give yo

The fletchings that come standard on some arrows are not always the colors that I want to hunt or shoot with. I like the fletchings to match the colors of my bow and strings, which is usually pink! The Arizona E-Z Fletch makes it very easy for me to customize my arrows with the colored fletchings that I choose. First and foremost I want to make sure that my arrow fletchings are of high quality and don't just look pretty. Good looks will only get you so far! My fletchings of

When purchasing hunting clothing, instead of buying multiple items that I may only wear a few times I try to get a couple staple items that can be worn all season long and on multiple types of hunts. Early season hunting and spring turkey hunting is usually pretty warm. During that time a light weight, moisture wicking top is my go-to piece. Carrying that same top into late season as a layering piece is a good way to get the most out of your gear. The Prois Ultra Long Sleeve

Try to pattern the deer on your property by using game cameras. Good places to hang a game camera are near known deer trails, food & water sources and mineral stations. If you can catch a buck coming to a food source in the daylight, pay attention to the time of day and his travel corridor so you know where to hang your stand or set up your ground blind. Another thing to keep in mind when choosing a spot for your tree stand is acorns. If it’s a year where there are a lot of a

A couple of years ago I was in the market for a new arrow rest. I was currently using a whisker biscuit, and had been since I began bow hunting in 2007. Whisker biscuits do have their benefits. They are known for their reliability and leave little room for product failure. But after shooting with them for a while they will begin to be less accurate due to wearing down. You also do not get fletching clearance when shooting, so there is more friction causing your arrow to fly s

One of my favorite things about bow hunting is that my deer season lasts longer. Our rifle season only lasts about 10 days here in Missouri, but bow season is from mid September to January. The deer activity and patterns change from early fall to late season and knowing what their main objectives are throughout the season is key to harvesting an animal. During summer and early fall the bucks are in their bachelor groups and their main interest is food. Having food plots with

Whether you hunt with a bow, rifle, muzzle loader, crossbow, or shotgun, it is important to know your gear. When I first started rifle hunting I started by getting familiar with handling, loading and shooting the rifle I knew I would be hunting with. Safety is the most important thing in hunting and being comfortable with your gun is half the battle. Second, to me, is being confident that I can make as clean of a kill as possible. That is why practicing is so important. Altho
