School of Outdoor Sports

Over the last few months I have been helping with some of the filming for the School of Outdoor Sports. I am proud to be of any help to this organization and I will also be using my knowledge of foods to help with a segment called "Cooking it Up" where recipes, techniques, etc are demonstrated to allow participants to create their own quality meals with the game/fish they decide to take home. Below is some information about the non-profit group. Also more information can be found at learnoutdoorsports.org

Founded in February, 2007 and set for launch on Jan. 1, 2010, the School of Outdoor Sports is dedicated to its mission of teaching the basics of fishing, hunting, and shooting to beginners of all ages. The School, initially, will be housed exclusively on the Internet at www.learnoutdoorsports.org.

All lessons are free. If you don’t have high-speed Internet access, you can request DVDs of lessons, and only charge is to reimburse shipping costs.

Products:At the School of Outdoor Sports, information and help are our products.

We produce high quality, easily-understood lessons on the basics of fishing, hunting, and shooting. All lessons are free of charge.

Students begin by studying the Overall Basics of Fishing, Hunting, or Shooting.

Students then choose to study specific aspects–anything that sounds fun.

No student is ever “left to struggle.” Experts answer follow-up questions, to help all students fully understand the lessons.

Students who request help finding a mentor are linked to established mentoring organizations that provide opportunities for ongoing outings.

Gun Hunting Minnesota

On opening day I decided to get down from my stand and go for a walk at about 9:30am. I was almost back to where I parked the fourwheeler when I noticed a deer or two scurry into the woods. I snuck up to that point, looked over, and noticed a deer standing in the woods about 30 yards. I raised my gun and at first glance I thought it was a doe until it turned its head. I saw antlers and pulled the trigger dropping the deer in its tracks with a neck shot.

Fred Bear Does its Job once Again!

This buck came in minutes after using one of those doe/fawn cans. I dont know if that brought him in our not, but I am glad I gave it a try! I was dealing with swirling winds and he was about to bust me when I shot. My camera failed in the field, so these garage are what I have to show for this buck right now. I am now in the hunt for a camera...any ideas?

Fall Update

Bowhunting has been pretty slow lately, but I did manage to arrow a mature doe a little over a week ago. It was a quick, clean kill at 25yds with a two bladed Rage broadhead. I have been sold on these after seeing the results the last two years.

A trip up north to Nashwauk about a week ago resulted in an abundance of grouse in front of my 870 12 gauge.

Also I will be posting a bunch of venison/upland game recipes on my food blog in weeks to come. I have been writing up and testing recipes this fall.
