This weekend is the opener of firearms seasons in many states including north Texas where Luke lives.In today's show, Luke talks about his six decades of experiencing 'opening days' and talks about some of the hunting buddies he spent time with in the past and his plans for hunting close ot home with his buddy Kenneth Shepherd. He and Kenneth have made a pact to make this 'home' hunt a tradition. Pictured is Kenneth with a fine buck he took while the two were hunting together last season. Luke and Larry Weishuhn's new book, :Campfire Talk" is available at www.catfishradio.org
This week, Luke recaps a recent hog hunt where he killed a very tasty young wild porker, which he turned into pulled pork by slow smoking all night in his electric smoker.
This week Luke tells us how he makes very lean and tasty breakfast sausage from game meat and cheaper cuts of domestic pork. This can be a great way to use all of the meat you've harvested from a hunt!
This week, Luke is talking about making one of his favorite, very easy-to-prepare dishes - venison stir-fry! If you don't happen to have any venison on hand, you can still prepare this recipe with most other lean meats you have around.
