Every year we take a little trip to Eastern Oregon to do some bird hunting at Highland Hills. A fantastic Orvis Endorsed hunting lodge that has spectacular upland game hunting, a beautiful lodge and stunning scenery that makes us come back every year. When… Continue Reading “Chucker Stuffed Poppers”
I recently was on a hunting trip with clients and friends at Highland Hills Lodge in Condon, Oregon. I was pleasantly surprised on how much I liked this ranch. First off, the lodge itself is like a 5 star hotel, along with 5 star… Continue Reading “Lemon Chucker Picatta with Capers and Artichokes”
One of the first things I look for on a menu at a great restaurant is Duck Breast. I absolutely love it if it is cooked to perfection (medium rare with a crisp crust). I think you can eat it without sauce, because it… Continue Reading “Seared Duck Breast with a Cherry Port Sauce”

When quail season begins, I get a little giddy about it. Something about these fat, little luscious birds that are not only fun to hunt, but they are great to eat. There are several species of quail, but they all taste great on the… Continue Reading “Wild Mushroom Stuffed Quail with Truffle Sauce”
It amazes me how some people cannot figure out what to do with their pheasant meat. It is like they are afraid of it. It is true that pheasant meat will cook fast, and too cooked it will become hard and rubbery. However, that is not… Continue Reading “Smoked Pheasant Four Cheese Morel Lasagna”
Duck is one of my favorite dishes to order at a restaurant, probably because I shy away from cooking it most of the time. Waterfowl season is in full swing and most hunters I know in Oregon save the meat to put in pepperoni,… Continue Reading “Seared and Seasoned Duck Breast”
