Great Appetizers!!! This recipe is made for 1 lb of chunks. Cut the meat into 1 inch squares. Marinate in Zesty Italian dressing at least 1 hr, I like to leave them in the Frig overnight.

Learning To Be A Stupid Hunter

Trail cameras are arguably the “coolest tool” to hit the hunting industry in the past 20 years. However, in a way they may be building a generation of dumb hunters. In a recent thread on a hunting forum, a young hunter had arrowed back to back trophy bucks.
