    Food Fight Friday: Venison Kabobs vs Elk Backstrap

    3

    By David Draper

    While I’m betting most of the people who read this blog fire up their grill year round, summertime is when things really heat up over the coals (or propane). As proof, here are a couple of photos Wild Chef readers have sent my way. [ Read Full Post ]

    A Couple of Contest Winners (What the Heck Took So Long?)

    0

    By David Draper

    Last week’s “What The Heck Is This?” contest garnered about 50 correct responses, though I suspect only about the first 10 or so actually recognized the device as a biltong cutter. Of all the correct entries, Neuman23’s number came up in the random drawing, so congratulations to him and thanks to everyone else who entered their guesses.

    I’ve also been remiss in picking a winner for the Worst Cooking Disaster contest back in April. T. Rebel and I finally got on the same page and came up with our favorite stories. There were some doozies, including DigHunter digging into some under fried chicken after some late-night shenanigans and Bowhunt3r’s tale of his brother’s attempt at making pizza dough. If you haven’t read those—or the rest of the great entries—it’s worth the time just for the laughs. [ Read Full Post ]

    Montana Angler and Guide Rescue Moose Calf

    4

    By Ben Romans

    Earlier this week, Karen Sciascia was on Montana’s Big Hole River with 4 Rivers Fishing Co. guide Seth McLean when they came to the aid of a drowning moose calf that was trying to cross to reach its mother.

    A Missoulian article
    says Sciascia, was fishing from McLean’s drift boat when they saw an adult moose crossing the river, but didn’t realize a 25-pound newborn was following until they drifted closer. At this time of year, western rivers are swollen with mountain snowmelt and eventually the swift current swept the calf away. [ Read Full Post ]

    A Surprising Cocktail Discovery: Gin and Dry Lemon

    4

    By David Draper

    One of my favorite things about traveling overseas is discovering new flavors. Of course, the problem with these delicious discoveries is trying to translate them once you’re back home. Such is the quandary I’ve come to after a recent trip.

    As many of you have surmised, I spent some time in South Africa last month, testing out that new Benelli autoloader that Phil Bourjaily hinted about awhile back. Like Phil, I’m sworn to secrecy until early next year, but I will reiterate his assertion that this new shotgun represents some significant design improvements to the popular and reliable Benelli system.

    Computer Glitch Awards—Then Takes Back—Over 2,000 SD Bighorn Sheep Tags

    0

    By Ben Romans

    Imagine after years of applying for a coveted hunting tag, you open your email inbox one morning and find a message from the state fish and game office with the word “congratulations!” in the subject line. Then imagine the sinking feeling half an hour later when you receive a follow-up email from the same office saying, “Oops, our bad. Sorry, you’re not a winner. Better luck next year.”

    There’s a good chance you know exactly what I’m talking about if you applied for one of South Dakota’s two bighorn sheep licenses. Last week a computer glitch inside the South Dakota’s Game, Fish & Parks’ system incorrectly notified approximately 2,000 bighorn sheep applicants they won one of the prized tags. [ Read Full Post ]

    Alaska Officials Thin Bear Numbers to Boost Moose Population

    1

    By CJ Lotz

    As part of a game management project, state wildlife biologists from Alaska Department of Fish and Game killed 89 bears to ramp up the moose population in western Alaska.

    "Bears are most efficient at taking young moose, so calves being born now will have a much higher chance of survival," a spokeswoman said. "Once calves have survived a year, they're not as vulnerable." [ Read Full Post ]

    Gun Fight Friday: Walking Guns for Deer and Hogs

    By Phil Bourjaily

    We have one more week of Marlins, then we’ll give some other guns a chance. However, after the 336 crushed the Model 94 Winchester in last week’s voting I am eager to see what happens in today’s Gun Fight. It’s an asymmetrical matchup: the Marlin 1894c squares off against a Glock 10mm pistol. Which is the better walking gun for pigs and whitetails?

    Florida Python Hunters Find Mysterious Gold Medallion

    3

    By Ben Romans

    Between Jan. 12 and Feb. 10, over 1,600 snake hunters combed the Florida everglades looking for Burmese pythons as part of the state’s 2013 Python Challenge.

    Hunters Mark Rubinstein, Gregg Jobes, and Joseph Post didn’t land in the winner’s circle or receive any trophies. In fact, they didn’t find a single python. But they did walk away with something worth more than contest prize money—gold.

    According to NBC Miami, while searching for pythons, Rubinstein discovered a round piece of gold jewelry accented with sapphires in the shape of a cross and diamonds surrounding the perimeter. While a corner fragment of the jewel is melted, the majority of the piece is in good condition, and likely worth a substantial sum.

    Bosnian Shepherd Says He Strangled a Brown Bear to Death

    By CJ Lotz

    We're not too sure about the facts behind this story out of Bosnia, but it's worth a look. The injured shepherd in this video claims he basically choked a brown bear to death when the bruin attempted to attack his flock.

    "I grabbed it round the throat and squeezed and squeezed until it collapsed," the shepherd told news agencies from his hospital bed. [ Read Full Post ]

    Why Has Baffin Island Lost Its Caribou Herd?

    2

    By CJ Lotz

    A recent survey conducted by wildlife biologists with Nunavut's Department of Environment is showing caribou numbers on Canada's Baffin Island have crashed by more than 95 percent since the 1990s, with as few as 1,000 to 2,000 animals left out of herds that numbered 60,000 and 180,000 caribou less than 20 years ago.

    The department's report on the survey does not list reasons for the decline nor a way to address the problem. [ Read Full Post ]

    Woman Clubs Bear with Shotgun, Saves Husband

    By CJ Lotz

    A Wisconsin man, realizing a 200-pound bear was about to attack his dog, ran outside and tried to scare the bear off, but the bear tackled him and sunk its teeth into his neck. When the man’s wife realized what was happening outside, she grabbed a shotgun, but didn’t know how to load it, so she ran outside and clubbed the bear over the head. Stunned, the bear fell away from the man long enough for the couple to run inside the cabin. Officials arrived shortly after and shot the bear. [ Read Full Post ]
