Essential Gear for the Backpack Hunter

Today’s backpacking gear is lighter, stronger and more durable than ever. There’s not enough space to detail all of it here, but these are the basics.

Halloumi Hors d’Oeuvres: A Perfect Match for Venison Tenderloin

Fried cheese and venison tenderloin? It's impossible to go wrong.

Recipe: Venison Hamburger Soup

This soup is delicious and easy to make, and it freezes well if you want to make it in advance of a big event or bring it with you to hunting camp.

Recipe: Wild Game Shishliki

Antelope, deer, moose and elk make great shishliki. Make a large batch and freeze extras to bring to your next hunting camp.

Recipe: Goose Fajitas

It’s hard to beat an authentic fajita for a fast and flavorful meal. While skirt steak is traditionally used for the meat in a fajita, waterfowl hunters will love using goose breasts to make this delicious tortilla-wrapped meal.

First Look: GameMaker Original Collapsible Batter Bowl

Composed of BPA-Free food-grade materials, the bowl is both dishwasher and microwave safe, and has transparent sides to ensure even application of breading or batter.

First Look: Seth McGinn Portale Conversion Grill

For quiet outdoor grilling you can take to hunt camp, check out the Portable Conversion Grill, from CanCooker, which converts the Multi-Fuel or Portable Cooktop to a grill.

First Look: Non-Stick Original CanCooker

CanCooker has updated their namesake product with a non-stick coating, for quicker and easier cleanup. A versatile unit, the CanCooker can be used anywhere from your traditional stovetop, to a campfire.

The Art of the Tent Camp

A proper tent camp is an experience many hunters today know little about—and that’s a shame, because it can be just the ticket to recharge one’s batteries. Take advice from a graybeard who’s done it for years: A few amenities can make all the difference.

Why Can't Deer Hunters Cook?

I was catching up with a friend of mine, who for whatever reason prefers hunting deer to waterfowl, when he mentioned his freezer full of ducks and geese.
