Hunt and Fish in Montana
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 […]

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 […]

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” […]

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 […]
Today our nation is remembering former president John F. Kennedy on the 50th anniversary of his tragic assassination. For people of this generation time stood still in the moments after hearing of his death, and they most likely remember exactly where they were when that happened. That got me thinking; what was my mom up […]

Well for all the hunters like me, who have been outsmarted by the sneaky Wapiti…I have good news for the taste buds! Last night my wife and I had a dinner too good not to share with everybody. I don’t know about you, but if there is such thing as a bacon craze…I’m on the […]
Elk is the best meat to top this salad recipe but, pork, beef, or even poultry will do. The best part is in the marinade: Marinate meat with sugar, fish sauce and pepper for 15 minutes. Grill or broil it until done to desired degree. Let meat rest, then slice and set aside…Here are the […]

Why on earth would anybody want to eat owls anywhere? Owl meat is apparently consumed in China, with the head being displayed when the meal is served to prove it is owl meat in the dish. Owls eat rats, so for me personally? No thank you. However, for those of you daring enough to try […]
Now that Halloween is behind us, you will start to notice the Christmas decorations hit the store shelves. In Britain you will also notice the reindeer meat hit the store shelves. Seems people are a little upset about “eating Rudolph.”
This one is for the beaver trappers out there! Beaver trapping season opens today in western and southwestern Montana, and for all of you beaver trappers out there, here is a new way to use all of the beavers you catch. If you haven’t tried beaver before, then maybe this stew is worth a shot…or […]
In my household, macaroni and cheese is always on top of the list of requests for dinner…and lunch…and even sometimes breakfast, so I’m always looking for ways to change up the recipe. I recently came across the following recipe that is PERFECT for bird hunters, as it calls for pheasant meat to be added…oh, and […]
A friend of mine, Brad Lehuta, was on a mission to fill his freezer this past Saturday, and he is officially off to a good start, as he shot a buck at first light, but he didn’t stop there. Now, don’t get me wrong, it could be that he is a good shot with his […]
