Sounds like a pretty good dinner! I've been meaning to try ti BBQ a wild boar shoulder and make some pulled BBQ pork of it. | |||

Here is my favorite recipe for pork shoulder. I let it marinate for 4 days. Ingredients * 1/4 cup chopped garlic * 1/2 cup chopped onion * 1 dash soy sauce * 1 tablespoon corn syrup * 2 tablespoons apple juice * 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce * 1 teaspoon molasses * 1/4 cup wine * 1/4 cup Italian-style salad dressing * 1/2 cup distilled white vinegar * 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder * 1/8 teaspoon salt * 1/2 teaspoon onion powder * 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning * 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper * 1/4 teaspoon seasoning salt * 1/4 cup brown sugar * 8 pounds pork shoulder Directions 1. In a large bowl, mix garlic, onion, soy sauce, corn syrup, apple juice, Worcestershire sauce, molasses, wine, Italian-style salad dressing, distilled white vinegar, garlic powder, salt, onion powder, Cajun seasoning, crushed red pepper, seasoning salt and brown sugar. 2. Score pork shoulder 1/8 to 1/4 inch deep. Place in the bowl with the marinade mixture. Marinate at least 4 hours in the refrigerator. 3. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium high heat and lightly oil grate. 4. Cook marinated pork shoulder on the prepared grill 3 hours, or until the internal temperature has reach a minimum of 165 degrees F (75 degrees C). Marinate frequently with the mixture while grilling. ----------------------------------------- "I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. -Henry David Thoreau, Walden | |||

Eating Elk steaks tonight with the wife and daughter! Grilled with asparagus and squash! | |||

Elk filets also are on our menu tonight. Yummmmmy. As for desert sheep, I was fortunate in choosing a Nosler Ballistic Tip for that hunt. It destroyed an entire shoulder we didn't have to eat. Maybe others have had good-tasting wild sheep, but I rank the meat from my ram barely one notch above javelina! Bill Quimby | |||

Dall sheep is the best wild game I have ever had. I actually think elk is pretty damn tough; I prefer deer from MN. I have shot a few moose, and they are damn tough. | |||

Nothing exotic but we just had canned venison, gravy made from the juices. Put the two together over mashed potatoes. Canned corn on the side, tastes so good your tongue will slap your brains out. Even the wife likes venison this way. | |||

Just finished antelope filets. Delicious. I found the filets from my desert sheep to be quite good tho not the equal of antelope or elk, but certainly better than beef steak. Sheep in a crock pot are good any time. I doubt if anyone could taste the difference between any animal after 6-8 hours. | |||

Way too many ingredients. Shouldn't move west if you cook like that.  | |||

Just put our dinner in the crock pot, tonight its meatballs made from ground Deer. I just roll the meat into balls, throw them in the crock pot add seasoning, put sliced onions and peppers on it then pour tomato sauce on it and add any kind of Italian seasonings and garlic to it and just let it cook all day. Simple and great to come home to. Last week we ate Deer or Elk 4 out of 7 nights. | |||

This ram was incredible! We had the backstraps grilled on mesquite wood coals and it was some of the best meat I've ever had. Not bad for a tough old desert sheep  | |||

I love and crave all wild game. Probably because of what I went through to get it but the Dall Sheep was the best I've ever had. I quit cooking it when my teenage daughters were going to be around for the meal, they ate it like it was going out of style. Meals from game taken have always been some of my fondest memories.

I think my favorite right now is to fry elk burgers with garlic salt, and pepper. After they are done pour Campbell's beefy mushroom soup over them right out of the can. I let is simmer a I make either mashed potatoes fried potatoes, or rice. I use the soup as gravy on the potatoes or rice. Easy and tasty. Ron | |||

My deal for the past two years has been deer sushi. Small medallions of deer meat, with soy/lemon juice and Louisiana Hot Sauce-Tabasco sauce poured over it. Even the rocks don't last forever. | |||

You were lucky to get a tasty one. My ram was not. It reminded me of the awful mutton we were served in a Mongolian elk camp. The best game meat I've tasted was eland, followed by almost every other African antelope I've shot. The whitetails from the Texas Hill Country are good, too. Bill Quimby | |||

The fact you know what mutton tastes like in Mongolia on an elk hunt makes me green with envy. The hole bit about Eland being so good also make me wish it were me there instead of you. That is awesome! I would love to have those kids of memories. Ron

Ron: I'll be 76 in a few months. I was fortunate in that my occupation allowed me to do a lot of hunting over a long lifetime in a lot of places before costs went crazy. Bill Quimby | |||

I apologize for the crass commercial, and for hijacking this thread, but you might enjoy my book, "Sixty Years A Hunter." It has many of my stories from hunting on six continents. PM me if you're interested in a copy. Bill Quimby | |||

The ca. Blacktail we killed when I was growing up were the best I've ever eaten. Something about the poison oak they would eat I guess. The meat almost had a sweet flavor. Flowered and fried with gravy and rice is never a bad thing. | |||

Pork medallions with a port cherry reduction sauce, mushrooms risotto, and a pinot noir   Mike Legistine actu quod scripsi? Never under estimate the internet community's ability to reply to your post with their personal rant about their tangentially related, single occurrence issue.  What I have learned on AR, since 2001: 1. The proper answer to: Where is the best place in town to get a steak dinner? is…You should go to Mel's Diner and get the fried chicken. 2. Big game animals can tell the difference between .015 of an inch in diameter, 15 grains of bullet weight, and 150 fps. 3. There is a difference in the performance of two identical projectiles launched at the same velocity if they came from different cartridges. 4. While a double rifle is the perfect DGR, every 375HH bolt gun needs to be modified to carry at least 5 down. 5. While a floor plate and detachable box magazine both use a mechanical latch, only the floor plate latch is reliable. Disregard the fact that every modern military rifle uses a detachable box magazine. 6. The Remington 700 is unreliable regardless of the fact it is the basis of the USMC M40 sniper rifle for 40+ years with no changes to the receiver or extractor and is the choice of more military and law enforcement sniper units than any other rifle. 7. PF actions are not suitable for a DGR and it is irrelevant that the M1, M14, M16, & AK47 which were designed for hunting men that can shoot back are all PF actions. 8. 95 deg F in Africa is different than 95 deg F in TX or CA and that is why you must worry about ammunition temperature in Africa (even though most safaris take place in winter) but not in TX or in CA. 9. The size of a ding in a gun's finish doesn't matter, what matters is whether it’s a safe ding or not. 10. 1 in a row is a trend, 2 in a row is statistically significant, and 3 in a row is an irrefutable fact. 11. Never buy a WSM or RCM cartridge for a safari rifle or your go to rifle in the USA because if they lose your ammo you can't find replacement ammo but don't worry 280 Rem, 338-06, 35 Whelen, and all Weatherby cartridges abound in Africa and back country stores. 12. A well hit animal can run 75 yds. in the open and suddenly drop with no initial blood trail, but the one I shot from 200 yds. away that ran 10 yds. and disappeared into a thicket and was not found was lost because the bullet penciled thru. I am 100% certain of this even though I have no physical evidence. 13. A 300 Win Mag is a 500 yard elk cartridge but a 308 Win is not a 300 yard elk cartridge even though the same bullet is travelling at the same velocity at those respective distances. | |||

Just finished a very "a-typical" Easter Dinner: Ham and scalloped potatoes? Broasted chicken and greens? Nope- MUCH BETTER! Some delicious inner loin from a whitetail buck I took in late 2009. We added some asparagus and brussel sprouts packed in foil, as well as a red onion and fired it up all on the grill. It's truly wonderful the memories eating these back straps conjure up: it took several minutes to decipher my date code ("3-2009"), as in the third deer took in 2009. The code wasn't the challenge as much as figuring out which, exactly, the hell was this deer?! Then I remembered in a rush: I took this strange little buck from about 180 yards with a Benelli M2 Tactical, with an 18 inch smooth bore and ghost ring sites. This was, embarrassing to admit, the longest shot I have ever made on a whitetail. Funny- I always hunt them with a firearm like I do with a bow- up close and personal. My cousin, that year, decided he wanted to try his hand at deer hunting, so I lent him my Savage 210 (12 ga. bolt gun)- hence me using the next best shotgun short, of an over and under. We are restricted in Southern Minnesota to shotgun only. The "strange little buck" was a 5-point that I assume must have been hit by a car. His rack had the bizarre appearance of being turned backwards. His entire right side (from neck to rump) was riddled with scar tissue. The venison turned out great though, and we're still enjoying some left in deep freeze. Thanks for the opportunity to allow me to share my tale. It sure is effective at allowing me to re-live the hunt! - John | |||
