On this episode of Huntavore, Nick is joined by Forager, chef, and writer, Alan Bergo. Alan has honed his craft of foraging plants, mushrooms, roots, and even everyday garden vegetable plants to bring added flavors, textures, and excitement that only wild edibles can. Alan was recently on the show, Chef vs Wild, where culinary experts make beautiful dishes out of the forage they find. Together, the two unpack foraging for novices, dive into some specific plants that hold hidden flavor, breakdown the process for creating a mushroom/wildgame chowder, and learn some culinary techniques for creamy soups, and taking the sting out of needles. Get ready for an information packed episode of Huntavore.

Alan Bergo is a talented chef that started on possibly one of the lowest rungs of cuisine, fast food and climbed up to very esteemed kitchens, where week to week the menu changed, flexing the creative capacity of these chefs to bring exciting new tastes to their customers. The lifestyle of a cooking staff is easily one that is fast paced, pressure filled, where execution of the dish every time is expected. Alan appreciated the challenge, and the chance to create with all kinds of ingredients, but like any industry that works its personnel hard, the limits of staying are short. Alan chose to walk away from the restaurant, but not from food. Now Alan is on a venture to forage all he can, play with these flavors, and create food that is exciting. 

For novice foragers, Alan described his time working with wild mushrooms in the kitchen long before he found any in the wild. When it came time to find the mushrooms himself, it wasn't a mystery to key because he had past experience. As beginners, familiarize with the goal item and that will help.

Alan hits us with some amazing kitchen tips. First is if you have dehydrated your chicken of the woods, they will become woody and fibrous. However, simmering them in water or stock will extract that amazing flavor. After the simmering, you can discard the mushrooms themselves but make sure to use that beautiful flavored broth. The second tip comes about when Alan is describing the process to make a creamy soup. Create a kneaded rue, equal parts flour and butter, worked into a dough. Now when it comes time to thicken the chowder, simply cut off what you need, stir into the broth. It gives a smooth texture because of the butter already being mixed with the flour, and allows it to thicken more if needed.

This week on the Oklahoma Outdoors Podcast John finally gets to talk about a topic he has been trying to cover since he started the show, Oklahoma Antelope hunting! Antelope are one of the hidden species in Oklahoma that many don't realize are here, much less that there is a hunting season for them. Josh Barnthouse started applying for one of the coveted controlled hunt rifle tags several years ago, and it was then that he learned Oklahoma offered an over the counter archery option. He and a buddy set out with a goal of harvesting a speed goat with a bow, which is no easy task in any state or circumstance. 

Josh walks us through his three years of chasing antelope in the pancake flat Oklahoma panhandle. He started on one of the few public areas that offered hunting opportunities, but after putting in some time and miles, was eventually able to gain some private land permission. Josh talks about the different strategies he and his buddy and most recently his wife have implemented over the last few years. They have done it all, from sitting over water holes to spot and stalk, and even decoys. Josh talks about what he has learned, what worked and what didn't, and how anyone could take advantage of this unique opportunity.

There are tons of fantastic deer hunters across the entire country. Each and every one of them has a unique set of tactics they bring to the table. Usually they are developed specific to the regions they hunt most. Deer density, hunting pressure, food sources and more all affect the strategy of targeting mature whitetails. While there are many great hunters who can relate these components well in agricultural settings, finding people that consistently find success in big woods public land can be difficult. The few that do are definitely grinders!

On this week's episode of the Pennsylvania Woodsman, Mitch has a conversation with none other than Johnny Stewart. Johnny is from western PA and has hunted whitetails across the country, but still finds himself fascinated with northeastern big woods. Many of you have probably listened to Johnny on other shows and know his intricate level of detail when scouting and hunting mature deer. This episode is not much different, but we break down the hunting season from archery through late season flintlock and how Johnny works through some of the basics. Enjoy!
