I’m here in Las Vegas for Safari Club International’s 43rd Annual Hunters’ Convention! I’ll be blogging to share show highlights on AmericanHunter.org all week. In case you missed yesterday’s pre-show post, click here.

Before you scan it and see the rundown of booths in the exhibit hall, try and come close to guessing the number of exhibitors at an event that SCI—and us hunters—for years have dubbed “the ultimate hunters’ marketplace.” If you want to book a hunt, share hunting stories with guides and fellow hunters, check out amazing taxidermy worldwide, or visit with gun, bow and gear makers about their latest offerings, this is the place to be!

As for the number of booths here, guess high considering the SCI Convention show has drawn exhibitors from six continents and 33 countries—starting, of course, with an array of exciting hunts being showcased in our own USA! Be sure to stay tuned to AmericanHunter.org for periodic updates!

Rethinking Ragù: Venison Ragù Bianco

In Italy, ragù simply refers to a slow-cooked meat sauce. Bolognese—ragù alla Bolognese—is just one regional variation that originated in Bologna and traditionally incorporates tomatoes, wine, milk, and finely minced meat simmered low and slow until deeply rich and complex. But some of the most beautiful ragù dishes in Italy contain little or no tomato at all. This version uses axis deer simply because that’s what I happened to have in the freezer, but this sauce works beautifully with almost any species of venison.
