Hunt and Fish in Montana
Flathead Cherry Festival is taking place this weekend in Polson, Montana, and in the spirit of all things cherry, we thought it appropriate to share some recipes for Flathead Cherries. All recipes came from Flathead Cherry Growers Association website, which can be found here. SWEET CHERRY COFFEE CAKE* “Recipe By K. Nice” Ingredients: (Serves 15) […]
GORP-and acronym for Good Old Raisins & Peanuts, or trail mix. Trail mix is considered an ideal snack food for hikes, because it is lightweight, easy to store, and nutritious, providing a quick energy boost from the carbohydrates in the dried fruit or granola, and sustained energy from fats in nuts. The basic idea is […]
If you are one of the lucky people who found a whole bunch of morel mushrooms this year, then this recipe from honest-food.net is for you! If you want to try something different with your morels and still use venison, then try this, and your taste buds will love you for it: Venison with Morel Mushroom Sauce […]
It’s summer time, and the heat is here..for the most part. When the temperature increases, people tend to crave lighter foods. With the Grilled Elk Steak and Tomato Salad with Rum Vinaigrette salad, you can still get your BBQ fix while not feeling like you just ate a heavy meal. Take a look at what […]
Walleye is one of the most important sport fishes in Montana’s eastern drainage and elsewhere in the U.S. and in Canada, where the walleye is a much sought-after commercial fish as well. Its flesh is of the highest quality. We found this great marinade, combined with a good set of grilling skills and you have yourself […]
Adding ground bacon and egg yolks keeps these burgers moist and adds lots of richness and flavor. Condiments for burgers are very relative to who’s eating them, but a good, earthy cheese and mustard are prime additions for venison. Here, we recommend Emmentaler and coarse-ground mustard, along with some spicy arugula for texture. More bacon […]
MMMM….what is not to love about fresh apple pie made from hand-picked apples? Oh, and there is an amazing recipe posted below, but first, watch the following video to see how you can peel approximately 5 apples in the time it would typically take to peel one… Blue Ribbon Apple Pie (via landolakes.com) INGREDIENTS: Crust […]
How much more outdoorsy can your food get? Unlike maple syrup, this spruce or fir tip syrup apparently has a citrus taste, even moreso when you add lemon juice, and smells like a pine forest. Intrigued? Well, to make it even more appealing, it apparently makes a “fascinating” mixer when added to gin. This particular […]
Happy St. Patrick’s Day to you! If you are looking for a tasty Irish meal to make today, check out this mouth-watering smoked fish recipe that will be sure to tantalize the taste buds of everybody in your family: Hearty potato, cabbage and smoked fish soup Start to finish: 50 minutes (25 minutes active) * Servings: […]
Brining is a great way to utilize deer or elk shoulders. But, to have corned venison in time for St. Patricks day brining will take anywhere from 5-7 days and should start sometime this week. The process takes a little time but is well worth it. The curing gets rid of the gamey flavor of the […]
I am posting this bison recipe in honor of my friend’s wife, who drew a buffalo tag and actually bagged one last weekend! Even the smaller bison leave you with a whole bunch of meat, and sometimes it is nice to get some new recipe ideas–especially when you’re cooking for a family. I found this […]
Wondering how to get creative with the venison in your freezer? Well, how about some venison cupcakes? Wait! Before you stick your tongue out, let me add venison “meatloaf” cupcakes with sweet potato frosting! Now, for those of you that do not like sweet potatoes, I think you could use regular mashed potatoes instead. I […]
Sometimes, you just don’t want the same old venison/elk burger meal for dinner. So…why not try something a little different?? Okay, A LOT different! (If you have kids, just don’t tell them what it is! ;-D) This recipe is great for trappers, mainly because they might already have a beaver tail from one of their […]
Nachos are a football day favorite, and this recipe is a great way to use venison! Ingredients 1 lb ground venison 3/4 cup chopped onion (divided) 3/4 cup chopped green pepper (divided) 2 tablespoons canola oil 1 pound processed cheese cubed 1 can (15 ounces) chili without beans 12 ounce bottle of chili sauce 1/2 […]
Having just trapped my first muskrat the day before yesterday (as you may have seen from the pic posted on the Montana Outdoor Radio Show Facebook page), I found this recipe particularly interesting. Skinning a muskrat might be way easier than skinning a coon, but there isn’t much meat on a muskrat. I am pretty […]
I had a chance to fish Hauser Reservoir last week with the father-son jig making team from Kits Tackle, Trevor and Kit Johnson of Helena. When they first asked me to go fishing my initial thought was that we would be drilling holes through the ice. “No, we are going to be fishing from a […]
This past Tuesday our boat hit the open water with a new captain aboard…and not just any old captain. The Captain of the Montana Outdoor Radio Show joined us for a fun filled day of winter jigging on Hauser reservoir just north east of Helena. The day started out a little slow, but for those […]
If you have been successful out on the frozen waters of Montana, or anywhere for that matter, and you are looking for something unique to do with your perch, how about add some flair to your upcoming perch dinner with a recipe that involves using perch EGGS. Before you stop reading, please at least check […]
Deer love apples, and so do many people. If you are one of those people that loves apples, then we have a recipe that will take the apple to another level… A fellow Facebooker stumbled upon this fabulous recipe while scrolling through their news feeds, and it seems to be worth sharing. I am looking […]
Successful waterfowl hunters!!! Here is an awesome football snack food, perfect for the Super Bowl! I would even substitute the cheddar cheese with cream cheese and try it with duck, too. Okay, now I’m hungry–gotta go. Enjoy. Goose Poppers Goose breast, cut into 1/4″ strips Jalapeno peppers, cut in half lengthwise and seeds removed Sliced […]
This recipe is a great way to use venison with some south of the border flavors. There are a lot of fresh ingredients, but the home-made tomatillo sauce and pico de gallo are worth the time making from scratch. Be sure to double the recipe for those sauces, they are great to use as chip […]
I imagine you could try this out with any type of fish you catch, and I’m not sure if the “Asian fish” part is referring to carp, but I think I will wait to see how it tastes from our listeners and montanaoutdoor.com fans before I cook it myself. The combination of the words “fish” […]

Get crazy, and even try breakfast for dinner! 1. Leftover Breakfast Biscuits – How Sweet It Is. Biscuits topped with leftover […]
After being out hunting from sunrise until sunset, I was trying to think of something suitable to eat. As I shivered while pondering, it occurred to me…SOUP! So, then one of the hunters in our group, Coral Maxwell, made goulash, and that got me thinking…is there a goulash soup recipe for those cold nights after […]
