NY Times Article about hunting.
 

Very interesting.

That is a very good article! Thanks for sharing.

Good article. Sauteed goose head doesn't have much appeal though! Hey, if he can make any part of a goose edible, I'm all for him and want to be his understudy! The grey jays and ravens still aren't doing much damage to the one on my raven feeder board here.

It was a good article and I applaud those millenials who immerse themselves in traditional hunting and it's traditional values. What I don't like is a mindset that says.

"It’s not just the blue blood upland hunters or rednecks with mudders and dogs. It’s us.”

It just sounds so divisive.

Thanks for sharing Jay, very good, positive article on the sport we all love.

It's basically one of the same points we (hunters) have been making for a long time: we respect the game, we kill humanly, we process ourselves (some more than others) and we prepare it. Now, in terms of turning it into fancy recipes, well...that a work in progress.

Steve Rinella, mentioned in the article is worth following. His podcast is "real world" and his philosophy is pragmatic and well grounded. He is also the real deal, not a poser. His book, American Buffalo, In Search of a Lost Icon is a compelling read for history and adventure.

I’ve watched every episode of Steve’s “Meat Eater” and find it very refreshing - and there are no commercials. He’s definitely the real deal!

Jay - Good read. I think the author mischaracterized goose as the "Ribeye of the Sky" That is reserved for Sand Hill Cranes. As I read the article, it gave the impression that he was cooking the wild game they shot for the restaurant, which we all know is verboten.

When I hunted mule deer in Alberta, we had contact with a guide who had been invited into a Hutterite community wedding. The Hutterites are very conservative communist farmers. At the wedding, goose head stew was on the menu. URP!

It's nice to see young people discovering America.
