These last two weeks we have been very blessed here in the Idaho wilderness.
Mountain man got his turkey 1st which can be viewed here: http://youtu.be/ytdZEdIXKFk

Turkey hunting is one of my favorite hunts because of how interactive and exciting it can be. Not everyone is into hunting and that is ok, but our family enjoys hunting and grew up hunting. Also when we hunt we use nearly everything from the animal. Very little goes to waste.
We are very thankful for the blessing of these turkeys and hopefully I will be able to add mine to the freezer on Thursday.
Many people do not like eating wild game because of previously bad experiences with overlooked gamey tasting meat. When any wild game is prepared properly it is beyond amazing. We fill our freezer yearly with elk, deer or venison, turkey, grouse, beaver back straps and hopefully this year we will have the chance to fill it with moose.
I created a video this weekend discussing how to prepare and cook wild game.
The key to wild game is low heat and a long cooking time. We utilize our wood stove as much as possible to save on the propane and to provide the amazing aromas floating through our house all day.
The short video provides some special preparation techniques that I use when preparing our wild turkey for the table. I hope you enjoy and are blessed with wild turkey for your table this spring also. Keep in mind that preparing store bought meat can be prepared the same way and you will receive the same melt in your mouth results.
Stay tuned for more posts and videos.
God bless!
