Tents are packed and Camper is hitched on, summertime brings camping season to both pros and first timers to the great outdoors. A highlight at camp is always the food. Nick brought back Cast Iron Steve to chat about camping kitchen set ups. Whether you bring out all the heavy iron and charcoal, or go light with a propane burner, this episode will have you pondering your own set ups for this camping season.

Before we begin, I want to make a huge Thank you to my guests, listeners, and supporters. Episode 75 marks the completion of 3 years of the Huntavore Podcast. Through this project I have been blessed with amazing conversations, incredible dishes, and comradery with hunters and anglers all across the nation. So cheers to a great year 3, and beginning an exciting year 4. Now, let's get to our chat with Steve.

Summer is here and Nick has some plans for these warm long days. The camping chuck box gets a face lift, yogurt based marinade for venison kabobs, and another attack on our nation's food system that Huntavores won’t need to worry about. All this on the next episode of Huntavore.

Nick is joined by Eric and Greg of the Where2Hunt podcast and creators of Okayest hunter. Together the guys talk about being Okay in the woods or on the lake, How the digital platform is affecting outdoor lifestyle, and how these midwest guys are using and enjoying their venison. All this comin at ya on this episode of Huntavore.

Happy Belated Mother’s Day to all the moms out there. Nick is joined by blog author of Peak to Plate, wild game cook, and “coolish mom” Annie Weisz. Annie has matched her passion for creating in the kitchen to now incorporate her family’s catch and quarry. Raising her boys and writing her wild game recipes has Annie joining her husband on hunts (even while pregnant!) and getting behind the rifle herself. So make sure you told mom you love her, and get ready for some impressive recipes on this episode of Huntavore.

Nick is Joined by fellow native Michiganders, Jared and James of Bowga Hunting Podcast. These two are long time hunting partners that enjoy the company as much the pursuit. Together, they have amazing stories about public land turkey hunting, spring bear hunting out east, and of coarse whitetails here in the midwest. We touch on our archery setups, enjoying the sport of archery, and what it means to be “arrow rich”. Of course we end up in the kitchen where the Bowga guys shine with some great ideas for your spring turkey. All this on the next episode of Huntavore.

Nick is joined by another amazing cook from the Bayou, Jason Thornton. Creator of Edible Outdoors Cook. The two guys sink into the idea of condiments and sauces. He’s not looking to mask the taste of his game, but elevate it. Can you imagine a meatloaf topped with smoked beet ketchup? Or a sandwich with Jalapeño Mayo? We go deep on these and other condiments you can make at home. Along with professional tips on executing your own crawfish boil. All this and more coming at ya on this episode of Huntavore.

Nick is joined by North Dakota native and serious wildgame cook, Jeff Benda. Jeff grew up with a family that appreciated being in the kitchen, going to authentic restaurants, yet wasn’t able to start hunting until becoming an adult. In that time he has taken his love of quality natural meat and passion for creating in the kitchen and began writing wildgame recipes which have been featured in several publications. So get your notes ready, you’ll need it for this episode of Huntavore.

Just a chat with Nick today, short and sweet about turkey breast meat. A favorite cut of turkey hunters, and a delicious change up from the dark and heavy meals of winter. Nick first explores why plucking your bird is worth your time, then examples of roasting the whole crown, smoking or steaking the lobes, and finishing off with how to get the most out of the inner tenderloin with a favorite recipe of his. All this to come on this episode of Huntavore.

Nick is joined by fellow Michigan deer hunter and podcaster Kevin Vistisen. Kevin hangs his hat on the idea of work hard and hunt harder. Embracing the old school yet educating on new tactics. Nick and Kevin have a good heart to heart, about our current condition of needing to build our hunting community, not fall into the traps that fracture it. Kevin also talks about his favorite venison meals, what’s the first cuts out of the freezer and the last to leave, and can you really get 10 tacos out of a pound of ground, all this coming up on the next episode of Huntavore.
