    Julie – thanks for the comments. It’s hard to be on all of the websites that are out there and still get my work done. HAHAHA. I’m so happy for you and your husband being able to bring home some elk meat. One of my all time favorites. I stopped buying meat at the store and swore to eat everything we had left in the freezer. And sure enough – been saving some money!

    Tell your husband I’m happy to share his link on my site and tell others about what a great website he has! Knowing who your paying before you go is a very important thing especially since getting a guide is never really cheap.

    Be sure to share your recipes with me too… I’m always looking for new stuff. Thanks again look forward to talking more with ya!

    Hello! I am actually friends with you on The Tasty Kitchen!! Have not been on there for awhile…my Husband just brought home a lot of Elk from a hunt and I wanted to look you up for recipes:-) We really enjoy them. I am going to try this one next as it looks so good.

    My Husband started a website, above, you may want to check out! It is a rating system based on Hunters reviews on the outfitters – “know before you go”! It’s great because so many people spend their hard earned money on hunts and the outfitters are not what they said they were!! Anyway, maybe you could check it out and pass it along to all of the hunters in your life:-) Please keep these wonderful recipes coming!!!

    Julie
