Fish tacos are always a good choice. Grilled rockfish cooks up in minutes and makes for an easy weeknight meal! #LiveWildEatWild

What do you do with all the bones after you butcher an animal? Make ramen broth of course. Tonkatsu pork ramen made with Kevin the Pig's bones, cooked aaaaalllll day until you have an incredible broth. Whip up some pork belly, eggs, shiitake, lions mane, green onion, and noodles and you've got a fairly passable Saturday lunch! #LiveWildEatWild

I've got another deer tag, but that's not what I'm excited about. After 23 years, my dad FINALLY drew his Utah limited entry bull elk tag! Can't wait to help chase bugling bulls this fall! #LiveWildEatWild

Hard to beat smoked steelhead on the @campchef! SO glad the weather is warming up and really ramping into prime smoked meats season. What're you all smoking this weekend? #LiveWildEatWild

Meal planning! When it comes to dishes that take just a smidgen extra effort, and also tend to reheat well (curries, soups, stews, etc) it's a no brainer to double or triple the batch. Lately I've been making a conscious decision to make an extra large batch each weekend with the intention of eating it twice, then freezing the rest. This helps to make your time more efficient, and only planning one "leftovers" meal ensures you don't get sick of eating the same thing over and over again. Now I've got 4 future meals of butter chicken ready to go! All I need to do is throw the vac bag in some hot water and steam up some basmati rice and boom, weeknight dinner is good to go in 10 minutes. #livewildeatwild #mealprep

Yesterday we said goodbye to a truly remarkable man, Grandpa Ed. Ed's youth is something very few today could imagine - his dad died from Typhoid when he was 3 months old. He grew up in a log house on a ranch in rural Idaho that didn't have electricity, and slept 4 kids to a bed. He rode his horse to school. He spent his free time fishing, hunting, and skiing in the surrounding mountains. Fast forward a few years, and Ed enlisted in the US Navy after high school, and spent the last two years of World War 2 aboard the battleship USS Iowa. Ed served as a gunner and sight setter, and was involved in eight different operations in the Pacific theater - from the Marshall and Wake islands, to Saipan and Tinian, to the Battle of the Philippine Sea, Peleliu, Okinawa, Formosa, and the battle of Leyte Gulf. They supported the bombardment of mainland Japan to the end of the war, culminating in being an eye witness to the Japanese surrender in Toyko Bay from his perch in the crow's nest next to her sister ship, the USS Missouri. During shore leave, Ed met a young lady named Wilma, and they corresponded throughout the war while Ed was away. In April 1946 Ed was honorably discharged from the Navy and returned home to Idaho. He went to visit Wilma, they had a nice discussion, and decided to get married. February 10th, 1947 they were married in Burley, Idaho and enjoyed the next 76 years of marriage together. Ed raised 4 daughters on their farm in Hagerman, Idaho while also working for the Dept of the Interior at the Federal Fish Hatchery doing research for Chinook and Coho salmon. Ed was a dedicated member of the LDS church and enjoyed many church callings and roles throughout his life. Ed was a talented craftsman and made many wooden toys for his 25 grandkids, 68 great grandkids, and 2 great great grandkids. He made the cradle that I rocked my son to sleep in. Throughout his life, his love of fishing never waned. He continued to fish his favorite local fishing hole all the way up until last year despite being almost 100 years old. Life goals if you ask me. Thank you, Ed. I wouldn't have the life and famiIy I have today if it wasn't for how you lived yours.

Ground meat, seasoned with a bunch of random stuff from the seasoning cabinet, sharp cheddar and mozzarella, and corn tortillas. They're... tacos? Kinda? Kinda quesadillas, kinda delicious.dip em in salsa and ranch. #livewildeatwild #whitepeopletaconight

"Pork needs to be cooked well done!" Nah, it doesn't. Frozen in a deep freeze, and then cooked sous vide, it'll be just as safe to eat as anything boiled for hours. A nice pink to your pork makes for moist, tender, delicious meat. #livewildeatwild

When you accidentally buy even more garlic when you already had plenty, just roast them all and then you've got a great stash of delicious roasted garlic on hand! Chop the tops off, drizzle in olive oil, salt, and pepper, then pop in the oven for an hour wrapped in foil. So. Good.

Shed hunting is closed statewide here in Utah until the end of April. Yes, it's a bummer you can't go out, but it's needed to avoid unneeded stress and pressure on our big game herds. Good decision by @utahdwr if you ask me. Spread the word and follow the law! Don't think "oh it isn't snowy here, I'm going to go anyways". Do what is right by our herds and just wait till it's warmer. I promise you'll be OK. ---------- Because of extreme cold weather and deep snow, shed antler gathering is now closed across the state of Utah — on both public and private lands — from Feb. 7–April 30, 2023. This closure will help minimize human-caused disturbance to deer and elk statewide during the coming months. We appreciate your cooperation with this emergency order. It will help reduce stress on Utah's big game animals and increase their chances of surviving the winter.

Ice fishing season means that means plenty of white meat fish are being caught! No better way to prepare them than fish tacos, in my humble opinion. Chunk them up, beer batter deep fry (or grill), and load up your tacos however you like them. Dont forget the cabbage for the added crunch! #livewildeatwild

Fish tacos for dinner. That's it! #livewildeatwild
