Venison. Tacos. Soup. What’s not to drool over. Put the three together on a cold winter day, and I’m a happy girl with a bowl of Venison Taco Soup. I used ground moose for this recipe. It also works well with deer, caribou, bear and other ground wild game, and…
Mid-January. It’s time for Honey Fried Fish. The ice started forming early this winter, and ice fishing looked promising for the January 1 opening day. Hopes were dashed when the temperature rose and the wind kicked up, taking the ice out. It’s back but the Maine Warden Service pilot flew…
