Huntavore - Your Tomahawks are Dull Nov 16, 2023

Show notes

On this episode of Huntavore, Nick is #sorrynotsorry for calling out your freshly cut venison tomahawk steaks. Like our popped polo collars from highschool, the cut needs an update. First Nick walks through some best practices to get a proper Tomahawk on the plate. Then he offers his update to the cut by taking advantage of the colder season to make it into a crusted roast that will be sure to elevate your hard earned wildgame. Get ready to sharpen up that tomahawk on this episode of Huntavore.

Maybe Nick is leaning on a bit of click-bait on the subject, Tomahawk style steaks gained popularity in the early 2000’s after a restaurant in New York began serving the cut. Since then it's been a huge boom by BBQer’s and grillers. Wasn’t long before the wildgame boys jumped in with cutting their own from deer and elk. Couple tips when cutting your own are; leave as a larger 4-5 rib roast, and cut portions after resting, clean the bones completely of meat and tissue; during roast and sear, wrap the bone in foil to keep brilliant white. In Nick’s opinion the updated version is kept as a roast, and crusts the outside. After quickly searing the meat and resting, use dijon mustard as a binder and apply your crust mixture before finishing in a slow oven. A crust mix Nick used was; pistachios, panko bread crumbs, parmesan, salt, and pepper.

No Lowballers - Wild Hunting & Poaching Stories With 2 Game Wardens Nov 16, 2023

Show notes

On today’s show with GunBroker.com, we’re talking hunting and conservation. Both Chris Powell from Houndsman XP Podcast and Rick Larnerd from Gobbler Knob Long Rifles have backgrounds in serving as a game warden in some point of their lives. We start out this episode diving into poaching. Rick goes into the game warden side of things which includes a conversation on how and what deer decoys they could use to potentially attract a poacher. You may be surprised at the style of decoy they have to use! We talk hunting accidents in different types of hunting for different game, with many of those being firearm related. Make sure to listen in to this episode sponsored by GunBroker.com to hear us dive into how to avoid putting yourself in one of these situations.

Up next, Rick dives into a poaching story from his time in rural Pennsylvania. Having to make a quick stop off the road, he pulls next to a barn that had multiple whitetail hanging. A little while later after a stakeout, he had some fast action that led to an arrest. You have to listen to how crazy this story is. Chris also gives us one of his most memorable cases, when a guy shot fourteen turkeys during spring turkey season. A multi-state investigation led to this guy landing himself in some major hot water!

Closing out, Chris talks about the parts of the job that are gratifying versus the parts of the job that really weigh on you after multiple years as a game warden. A lot of it may not always be black and white even though that’s how it’s presented most of the time. Chris gives an excellent example on this episode, make sure to listen to this fantastic story of his. Allen gives us the rundown on hunting rifle sales on GunBroker.com with most bolt action rifles moving super quick, but if you need that last minute new hunting rifle, head over to GunBroker.com to pick yours up today!

N.F.C. - Rut Redemption Nov 15, 2023

Show notes

On this episode of the Nine Finger Chronicles, Dan recaps the second part of his rut vacation and sharing his bowhunting success. Dan talks about how he was at an emotional low coming after not killing his #1 buck the previous week. After taking some time to recover and letting his farm rebound after the pressure he put on it, it was time to get back in the tree and give it another try. Dan talks about how the standing corn played a role in how the deer were moving through the property. Dan breaks down the plan he wanted to implement for the second half of the rut knowing that many of the mature bucks were locked down with does, and anticipating a big rare wind shift. The rest, they say, is history!

Huge shout out to everyone who sent positive energy after not recovering my buck, as well as following along the entire season. Appreciate each and every one of you!
