Huntavore Episode 100

Author: Sportsmen's Empire June 20, 2022 Duration: 54:43

Man, we made it! Triple Digits, the century mark, a milestone where podcasters find that their little project has now become something greater. On this Episode of Huntavore, Nick celebrates getting to this point, then relieves the amazing weekend up north at Total Archery Challenge; the friends, the fun shots, and the food. Smoked Shot Shells were a surprise hit, so we break down this little meat treat. Nick also hit the foraging gold mine of Golden Oyster Mushrooms. So I invite you, pour a glass, and celebrate with Nick, on this 100th episode of Huntavore.

First, Nick needs to thank a small village for their involvement in Huntavore. His wife and kids, Former co-host Dustin, huge encourager Peggy Kline, Dan Johnson and the entire Sportsman’s Empire, all the amazing guests and listeners. Thank you all.

Total Archery Challenge, Crystal Mountain Michigan was a huge hit. Like any big event, some hiccups were there, but our experience wasn’t tarnished. Shooting two days, 4 courses, hiking plenty of miles and floors, making what at first looked like impossible shots. What a wonderful way to practice long range archery. One of the dishes that we made was Smoked Shot Shells

Nick also stumbled upon a stump loaded with Golden Oyster Mushrooms. His culinary drive was salivating. First objective was to preserve the bounty. First was sauté and freeze. Second was full dehydration. Incredible how much water is actually in mushrooms, they dried down to almost nothing.

There’s a particular satisfaction that comes from a meal you’ve pursued and prepared entirely yourself, a process that begins long before the kitchen. The Huntavore digs into that entire journey, from the field to the plate. Each conversation revolves around the practical realities of harvesting wild game, the careful art of butchering, and the countless ways to transform that protein into memorable food. You’ll hear from hunters, chefs, and everyday people who find a deeper connection to what they eat through this hands-on approach. This isn’t about trophies or boasting; it’s a grounded look at the skills, ethics, and simple joys involved in sourcing your own meat. The discussions are straightforward and relatable, focusing on technique, conservation, and a genuine respect for the natural world. Tune in for honest talk about failures and successes, favorite recipes for venison or waterfowl, and the quiet fulfillment found in this age-old practice. This podcast is for anyone curious about the full story behind wild game on the table, whether you’re an experienced hunter or just beginning to consider where your food originates. It’s a celebration of self-reliance, flavor, and the tangible results of time spent in the wilderness.
