Tipi Tuesday! The calm before the storm. Shortly a Tipi Tuesday! The calm before the storm. Shortly after this photo was taken, a storm hit us with 100 kms winds and 3 feet of snow. We were stuck in the tent for 7 days before the pilot could get in and fly us out. The tent saved our lives for sure. We are rolling out a 3 part podcast series this month to tell the story. Stay tuned to the EatWild Podcast. You can also find the story in this month’s @bcoutdoorsmagazine by Clay Armstrong. . @seekoutside #tipitueday @chris.pryn #eatwild #seekoutside #bcbha #bcbackcountryhuntersandanglers #huntbc #huntingbc #learntohunt #podcastersofinstagram
In this episode, I am learning about ceremony and In this episode, I am learning about ceremony and ritual from an Indigenous hunter's perspective with my friend La’goot Spencer Greening. La’goot is a Tsimshian leader, storyteller, and academic. This past hunting season I witnessed a range of ceremonies that hunters practiced after taking the life of an animal. At one end of the spectrum, I overheard what sounded like a new years eve celebration as a couple of nearby hunters got lucky on the road, to being part of Miki's first hunt where her ceremony involved calm moments of contemplation as she processed the experience of taking her first animal. We start with a question about holding a ceremony after taking an animal’s life and dive deep into a conversation around rituals, that, in some traditions, start a long time before the hunt takes place. La'goot shares his experience of the role that his community, elders, and mentors play in learning rituals and developing the practice of ceremony. We reflect on how having those connections can help new hunters be more present in their actions and have a mindful experience when faced with taking an animal's life. This podcast goes in a few more interesting directions. I am grateful for these insightful conversations with La'goot, and I feel fortunate to be able to share them with our listeners.

Setting your sights on your first rifle - tips for Setting your sights on your first rifle - tips for buying the right firearm with @silvercoreinc In this episode, I’m hanging out with Travis Bader from Silvercore. We’re breaking down the things to consider when buying your first firearm for big game. We get into some common misconceptions about firearms. We talk recoil and how to reduce the shock to the body. We discuss pros and cons of calibers for the new hunter who wants a rifle that can do it all. Travis is an expert in all things firearms. He is a gunsmith and a leader in the firearms training industry. Silvercore provides a range of training opportunities from firearms safety to bear safety and much more. Check them out.

Mule Deer Stracotto with Horseradish Gremolata wit Mule Deer Stracotto with Horseradish Gremolata with Parsnip Mash. This is Chef Mark’s @thechefwhohunts recipe from our EatWild Cooks class series. You can find the recipe on our website. Excellent for bone-in cuts like shanks or ribs. When butchering an animal, I opt to keep the bones in on most of the stewing cuts. Cooking at low temps for several hours makes the meat fork tender. The bones add the flavor that makes the sauce delicious! Favorite winter meal. #eatwild #muledeer #huntbc #osobuco #stracotto #meateater #covidcooking
