When smoking venison and most wild game, I prefer to brine the meat instead of marinating it. Brine penetrates deeper into the meat and the salt prevents the fibers from tightening up, keeping moisture and natural juices inside.
Take pride and some extra time to make sure all the silver skin and tough pieces are trimmed off. No one especially non-hunters like to chew on a tough old dried up piece of meat. You spent hours in the field to harvest that buck, now is the time to make it the best it can be on the table. Continue reading “How to Smoke Venison Back Straps”

Check out my review on the Cabela’s BlackOut Epic Compound Bow, I became familiar with the Blackout series while working at Cabela’s, read on to find out my thoughts.
In a crazy twist of fate this winter, I found myself working as an archery tech at Cabela’s for a brief eight-week stint, an experience I detailed in my blog post “I Accidentally Got a Job at Cabela’s and Lasted a Total of 8 Weeks”.
While my time there was short-lived, it offered me the opportunity to get up close and personal with Cabela’s BlackOut Archery line. I have always been an Elite Archery and a Hoyt kind of gal, so the Blackout series had never been on my radar. I was pretty impressed with the quality of the budget priced line, we sold tons of them while I was there, and the different models provided options for everyone.
If you’re in the market for a bow that won’t break the bank, the Cabela’s BlackOut Epic X2 Compound Bow, manufactured by Bear Archery, is a solid option. Retailing at $599, this bow offers features and specifications that cater to both seasoned archers and those new to the sport. Continue reading “Cabela’s BlackOut Epic Compound Bow Review”

MIDDLEBURY, Conn. – June 25, 2024 – Outdoor Stewards of Conservation Foundation (OSCF) Executive Director Jim Curcuruto joined “The Remington Podcast” to record a brand-new episode during the 2024 NRA Annual Meetings in Dallas. The new episode debuted June 17, 2024, and is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts YouTube and more.
Hosted by Remington’s Audrey Mayes, the show takes a deep dive into all things ammunition. From industry news and interviews on the factory floor to compelling hunting and shooting sports stories, the podcast covers Remington Country from coast to coast.
Curcuruto is the latest in a lineup of conservation-minded guests to join the show, including wildlife artist and conservation advocate Scot Storm who also recorded an episode in Remington’s booth at the NRA Annual Meetings. Curcuruto and Mayes covered a wide range of conservation topics including the Pittman-Robertson Act and how purchases made by Hunters, Anglers, Trappers and Shooters (HATS) across the country are the primary source of funding for conservation efforts in the Nation.
“We’re honored to join the folks over at Remington Ammunition to record a podcast discussing how we as HATS continually help to conserve the environment that we hold near and dear,” said Curcuruto. “By contributing more than $3.6 billion each year, there is no doubt that HATS are leading the way in supporting conservation. OSCF joins Big Green to thank every hunter, angler, trapper and shooter for being a primary funder of conservation across the country.”
OSCF previously partnered with Remington Ammunition along with the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission for an episode of its “Connecting with Conservation” series on YouTube.

As an avid fan and long-time customer of Cabela’s, I’ve always appreciated their support through their affiliate program and enjoyed events like the “Ladies Day Out.” After the Bass Pro takeover, things changed, but I still found myself frequently visiting and spending a lot there.
In the winter, the lack of outdoor activities and increased work obligations had me spiraling mentally and physically. A casual joke from a Cabela’s employee turned into a spontaneous decision to join their archery department. Although I only stayed for eight weeks, the job helped snap me out of my funk. The experience was a reminder of why retail isn’t for me, but it also reignited my passion for archery. Stay tuned for reviews on some of Cabela’s archery gear!
I have always loved Cabela’s and spend a significant amount of time and money there. As a member of their affiliate program, I’ve appreciated their support over the years.
I particularly miss the “Ladies Day Out” events they used to hold. Before my dad passed, we regularly met up for lunch at the Richfield, Wisconsin location.
After Bass Pro took over, the culture changed—not necessarily for better or worse, just different.

Learn how to keep the deer hunting spirit alive year-round! From micro plots to affordable tips, make your off-season count.
It’s springtime across this wonderful country, and it feels like deer hunting is a distant thought for many. But guess what? I’ve found a way to bring it closer – I’m a 365-days-a-year deer hunter! Well, they only let me carry a weapon during the fall months, but that doesn’t stop me from keeping the spirit alive all year round.
While some folks stick to hunting seasons, I never let my season end. There’s a lot you can do during the off-season to up your chances of bagging that buck of a lifetime. I run trail cameras year-round, not just during hunting season. In January, I check out what bucks made it through the year, learning more about the deer on my property and where they hang out at different times.
Spring is perfect for clearing shooting lanes, giving deer plenty of time to get used to the new look before hunting season rolls around. But what I look forward to the most in my spring whitetail madness? Food plots.
Now, I hear you – “I don’t have enough land,” “It costs too much,” “I’ve tried it, and it never worked.” Let me break down these myths for you.
“I Do Not Have Enough Land”
You don’t need a massive field; even 10 acres can become a deer haven. Micro plots or “kill plots” work wonders. Just clear a small area near your stand location, plant it, and watch the magic happen. A 20×20-foot circle is enough to attract deer and increase your odds.
“It Costs Too Much”
Sure, it’s an investment, but you can keep it affordable. Skip the pricey seed blends and research what you need. Take your blend recipe to a grain mill for more cost-effective options. Premium seed blends may be bred for food plots, but co-ops and seed mills have similar seeds at a fraction of the cost.
“I Have Tried It And It Never Worked”
Before giving up, ask yourself why it didn’t work. Test your soil – pH testers, NPK test kits, and soil thermometers can provide crucial information. And, if you think it failed, use deer exclusion cages to see if the deer enjoyed it without you knowing.
“It’s Too Much Work”
Yes, it can be labor-intensive, but you don’t need a huge plot. Clear a sunny spot in the woods, spray for weeds, and sow your seeds. The effort you put in directly impacts the outcome.
“It Will Ruin My Land”
No kidding, right? A small food plot won’t ruin your land; it’ll enhance it. You may even get a better price if you ever decide to sell your hunting land. Also, feeding deer corn? Bad idea. Grow nutritious plants for them, and you’ll see healthier deer and more backstraps.
So, if you want to keep the deer season vibes alive, try your hand at food plots. It’s fun, easy, and the payoff could be huge! Grab your rake and machete – let’s kick off your 2024 deer season today! Good luck, everyone!

Learn about the history of the Lake Sturgeon in Wisconsin, one of our nation’s greatest conservation story.
Many moons ago when Wisconsin was first settled, the settlers that took up residence around Lake Winnebago, were either farmers or fishermen.
The fishermen took advantage of the bounty that still, to this day, resides in Lake Winnebago.
In the early 19th century, fishermen became dismayed when they realized their nets were being destroyed by an ancient fish native to the Great Lakes region. The torpedo shaped fish had five rows of bony plates that would easily cut the nets; they were deemed “garbage fish” much like carp is today. The fishermen began to slaughter the bony fish that would get caught and tear the nets by the thousands in an attempt to eradicate these pests.

The Basics of Layering – HuntFishTravel
In the midst of trying to decide what we wanted to do for New Year’s Eve weekend, quite a few things were bandied about. But somehow I kept coming back to the New Year’s Day Hike I came across. (Or maybe with this warm weather I’ll pull the boat back out and go fishing, hahaha!)
Perhaps we’d just stay in, cook some food, count down to the ball drop and then go for a hike the next day.
Hiking in the winter can be difficult. Obviously, keeping warm, hydrated and safe is the primary concern.
Wisconsin temps averaging around 22 degrees on New Year’s Day, I thought about what I’d wear to stay warm without getting overheated.
Whether it’s hunting, fishing, hiking, sledding or even yard work; keeping warm and staying comfortable is essential and while the human body has its own heating and cooling system, layering is just a way to help it out a bit. Continue reading “The Basics of Layering”
Need a gift for your favorite outdoorsy gal or guy? Look no further, I’ve compiled a bunch of my favorite products. And remember – I never recommend anything I wouldn’t stand behind!

Tournament veteran Dave Mansue doesn’t mind fishing jigs for winter bass, but he’d much rather throw a deep diving crankbait, and he often does. The Yamaha pro knows that if he can find baitfish, bass won’t be far behind, and they’ll nearly always hit one of the diving lures.

For most in the Midwest, autumn means big bucks, the early days of deer season, and all things whitetail. Forest foragers know that late autumn also means the mushrooming season for the most part is coming to a close; however, there remains one last great treat for those perusing the autumn woods… One last great big giant treat because, those glorious autumn days are when you can find a fruiting of Hen of the Woods (Grifola frondosa) as big as forty or fifty pounds.

I can remember more vividly than most of my memories the times my dad took me out to the woods before I started deer hunting. A few small game hunts, a few scouting missions for rifle season, a handful of fishing trips – those are some of my greatest childhood memories. I can recall every rabbit we kicked up, every pheasant flushed, every deer we saw, and every fish we caught. Even after 40 years, I can recollect a play-by-play of it all. I can’t remember what I had for breakfast yesterday, most times, but those memories are burned into my brain.
I vividly recall the time my Dad, my brother Fred, and I rented a rowboat from Farmkrueg’s bait shop in Menasha, WI, and paddled out on Little Lake Butte des Morts.
I was maybe 7 years old. My brother and dad both caught a smallmouth bass. I caught a nice perch and something that, as a 7-year-old, I thought must have been the biggest fish ever. It pulled my rod under the boat, and I couldn’t contain the behemoth, and the line snapped (it was probably a carp, but I was a kid). Continue reading “Kids and the Outdoors”

Jim Willes brings you a grilled venison roast sure to take your taste buds on a wild adventure. This step by step cooking technique, and recipe will create a succulent and flavorful treat that will leave everyone craving more.
When it comes to grilling, there is no shortage of choices of meats to cook over the coals. However, when you are a deer hunter, a big slab of venison will undoubtedly be your top choice. But when it comes to feeding a large group of people, thoughts usually drift away from those precious cuts to find something a little cheaper or more readily available than expensive steak or your prized venison.
Like many hunters out there, I process my own deer, which gives me the opportunity to do different things. One thing that I love to do is save the hind quarters whole. I do this for many reasons. The first reason is that if I ever need anything, I can pull an entire quarter and make what I want. I am not limited to what has already been processed. The second reason is the recipe I am about to share with you. Continue reading “Venison Caveman Roast”
Summer is prime snapping turtle time. Although many are put off by the snappers prehistoric looks, downright spiteful attitude, and reputation for eating all the nasties of the aquatic world; those in the know about snapping turtles know that the meat is some of the most delicious and lean wild meat out there.
Be forewarned, there’s nothing zippity do dah easy about snapping turtles, not the catching, not the cleaning or the cooking. Perhaps that’s part of what makes them so tasty. It’s a bit of an accomplishment to put a turtle on the dinner table. Continue reading “Let’s Talk Turtle: Catching, Cleaning and Cooking the Common Snapper (Recipe included)”

Physical activity in the outdoors, such as turkey hunting, improves both mental and physical health.
Mental health has been a hot topic for decades. Influencers, vloggers, doctors, twitter “experts”, they all come up with fancy hashtags and shout to the high heavens “get medicated” or “work out more” or “go to therapy” in order to alleviate stress and depression. And while these may be viable suggestions, I’m of a different mind.
Go turkey hunting. Continue reading “An Argument For The Mental And Physical Health Benefits Of Turkey Hunting”
