In this episode of Wild Life Outdoors, Russell sits down with Doc Jaynes for one of the most informative conversations we have ever had about wild game cooking, proper meat handling, ethical harvest, and long range shooting.The episode opens with a bold statement that sparks the entire discussion. If your wild game tastes gamey, chances are it is not the animal it is the way the meat was handled. From there, we dive deep into the cold, clean, dry rule and how improper field care, storage, and processing can destroy the quality of even the best harvest.Doc breaks down how to properly handle deer, bear, waterfowl, and other wild game from the moment of harvest all the way to the freezer. We discuss aging meat, whether soaking in water actually helps or hurts, how to properly grind wild game, and why removing silver skin and sinew matters more than most hunters realize.Russell also shares his experience cooking snow geese during the conservation order and how proper preparation turned a commonly disliked bird into incredible pulled BBQ and fajitas that even his kids loved. The conversation expands into black bear cooking, including bear gumbo, rendered bear fat, and why historically bear grease was a staple in American cooking.Later in the episode, the talk shifts to long range shooting. Doc explains his mountain shooting setup, what it takes to shoot extreme distances, and how small fundamentals make massive differences in accuracy. Russell also shares lessons learned from archery hunting on public land and how understanding animal behavior changes your success in the field.This episode is packed with real world knowledge for hunters, anglers, wild game cooks, and anyone who wants to better understand responsible harvest and ethical use of our natural resources.If you care about conservation, field to table living, and becoming a more capable outdoorsman, this episode is for you.Bucked Up- https://bckd.co/vnjzgTkForetold Coffee Co.- https://www.foretoldcoffeeco.com00:00 When Wild Game Tastes Gamey It Is Not the Animal02:10 Introducing Doc Jaynes and His Background05:25 The Cold Clean Dry Rule Explained09:40 The Biggest Field Care Mistakes Hunters Make14:55 Aging Wild Game Meat Properly18:20 Water Soaking Myth Does It Help or Hurt22:05 Snow Goose Cooking During Conservation Order26:40 Pulled Goose and Goose Fajitas for Kids30:15 Black Bear Cooking Traditions and Bear Gumbo34:10 Rendering Bear Fat and Historical Uses38:40 Grinding Wild Game the Right Way43:00 Removing Silver Skin and Sinew for Flavor47:30 Long Range Shooting Setup and Gear52:15 Shooting Fundamentals That Matter the Most57:20 Mountain Hunting and Shot Placement1:01:45 Ethics of Harvest and Respecting the Animal1:06:10 Final Advice for Better Wild Game and Better Hunting#wildgamecooking #fieldtotable #hunttotable #wildgamemeat #howtomakewildgametastegood #gameymeatfix #deermeatprocessing #bearmeatcooking #snowgooserecipes #waterfowlcooking #wildgamerecipes #huntingandcooking #coldcleandryrule #ethicalhunting #meathandlingforhunters #wildgamefieldcare #wildgameprocessingmistakes #blackbearmeat #beargumborecipe #snowgooseconservationorder #howtoprocessdeer #publiclandhunting #longrangeshooting #extremelongrangeshooting #huntingaccuracy #mountainhunting #flyfishingpodcast #huntingpodcast #outdoorpodcast #WildLifeOutdoors #RussellWildLifeOutdoors #conservationhunting #huntereducation #wildgamemeattips
