Wild Game Recipes

By Kris Ruddy

A

As I have stated before--When I was growing up I was traipsing around the country with my dad, grandfather and greatgrandfather. Usually it was fishing down on the Yellowstone River or at one of the smaller lakes and dams in the area. I have a vivid memory of middle of the night rabbit hunting with my dad. It was a cold night and we were driving out in some field watching the rabbits run ahead of the car. They were everywhere. I didn’t do much hunting of venison with my dad because I couldn’t bear to watch a deer get shot. However, I did watch my dad when he strung the deer up on the clothesline pole to let it bleed out then he would skin it, gut it, wash it. and cut it up. I loved venison steaks, but I don’t like beef steak. Strange isn’t it? I also love buffalo. It tastes like I think beef should taste but doesn’t. The first time I ate a buffalo burger was about 20 years ago in a little cafe in Ranchester, Wyoming. From that moment, I was hooked. Now, buffalo is just starting to come into mainstream eating.

Venison Jerky: 5 lbs. venison, chunked; 6 1/2 tsp. salt; 2 tsp. black pepper; 1 tsp. red pepper; 1 tsp. marjoram; 3 tsp. accent; 2 tsp. garlic powder; 5 tsp. modern cure; 2 oz. liquid smoke. Directions: In a large bowl, combine all ingredients except liquid smoke. Run mixture through a meat grinder, then again mix together thoroughly. cover and refrigerate for 2 - 5 days. Divide mixture into 4 portions. Roll each portion out between 2 sheets of freezer paper (the shiny side) to 1/8 inch thickness. Remove top paper and place meat directly on oven rack; remove second sheet of paper. Set oven to 190 degrees; place a sheet of foil under meat rack to catch drippings. Brush tops of meat with liquid smoke. After 2 hours, remove meat from oven, turn and place on a cutting board. Cut meat on lines made by oven rack and then into desired lengths. Return meat to oven and bake until all pieces are dry. Depending on the thickness of the pieces, it should take between 1 - 2 hours. Store in zip lock bag in freezer.

Scrambled Eggs and Smoked Trout in Mushroom Sauce: 5 tbsp. butter; 6 large eggs; 2/3 cup half and half; salt; 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms; 1/4 cup flour; 1 1/2 cups milk; 3/4 cup smoked trout; pepper; parsley or chives for garnish. Directions: In a skillet, melt 1 tbsp butter. In a small bowl combine eggs, half and half and salt to taste. Pour into skillet and cook over medium-low heat. The eggs should be moist; do not overcook. Spray a 9 x 12 baking dish with cooking spray and place cooked eggs in bottom and up the sides of the pan. In the same skillet, melt 1 tbsp. butter over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and cook until lightly browned, about three minutes.

Set mushrooms aside. To the skillet add remaining butter and about 3/4 of the cooked mushrooms. Mix well and sprinkle with flour. Gradually stir in milk and cook, stirring constantly until the mixture is smooth and thickened, about 10 minutes. Add 3/4 of the smoked trout and simmer for 5 minutes; add pepper to taste. Pour mixture over the scrambled eggs. Top with remaining mushrooms and smoked trout. Bake, uncovered, at 350 until heated through. Garnish with parsley or chives.

Directions: In a skillet, brown meat; set aside. Drain all fat from skillet and add onion; cook until tender. Place meat and onion in a crockpot; add remaining ingredients, except cheese. Cook on low for 8 - 10 hours. Top with cheese and serve.

Spicy Venison Sausage: 2 lbs. ground venison; 4 tbsp. hot sauce; 1/2 tsp. garlic powder; 1/2 tsp. onion powder; 1 tbsp. liquid smoke; 1 tbsp. celery seed; 1 tbsp. mustard seed; 1 tbsp. tenderquick; 1/2 cup cold water; 9 - 10 peppercorns. Directions: Mix all ingredients thoroughly and form into 2 rolls that are 6 inches long and 2 inches in diameter. Wrap rolls in aluminum foil and refrigerate overnight. Using a fork, perforate the foil 3 or 4 times on each side. Place rolls in a baking pan and bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees. Cool completely before removing from foil.

Montana Barbecue: 3 - 4 lbs. venison or buffalo; 1 tbsp. salt; 1/2 tsp. black pepper; 2 onions, sliced; 2 tbsp. apple cider vinegar; 2 tbsp brown sugar; 2 tbsp worcestershire sauce; 1/2 tsp. cayenne; 1/4 tsp. paprika; 1/2 tsp. chili powder; 1/4 cup ketchup; 3/4 cup water. Directions: Sprinkle meat with salt and pepper and place in a roasting pan. Layer meat with onions. In a large bowl, combine remaining ingredients and pour over meat.

Cover and bake in a 350 degree oven for 2 hours, basting occasionally. Remove cover for the last 15 minutes of baking time to brown meat.

Montana Style Trout: 4 ( 8 to 10 oz. each) fresh trout; 4 tbsp. mustard; 1/2 cup flour; garlic salt; lemon pepper; 1 tbsp. butter; 2 tbsp. olive oil.

Bozeman Rock Climbing Option Number Three:

Gallatin Canyon One of the most popular outdoor rock climbing areas in Bozeman, Montana is the Gallatin Canyon. To find this location take US 191 from four corners intersection and follow it for about 25 miles into the Gallatin Canyon. You can start from the pullout under the Gallatin Tower or you can cross the bridge and river and start your climb from the Lava Lake Trailhead. There are about eleven marked routes up Gallatin Tower. To attack this formation you will only need tradition gear such as: stoppers, hexes, rope, etc. One of the cautions for this formation is that some areas of the formation are unstable and the lead climber needs to make sure that they place the safety gear firmly and test it for rock weaknesses before the other climbers ascend. It is recommended that climbers tackling this formation practice their jamming skills before they start up. www.TheDreamsApp.com 27
