    BBQ Salmon Fillets

    Out here on the Left Coast, offshore King salmon fishing is starting to kick into gear in Central CA. The fish average 10#-15# this time of year and as summer progresses, a lot of the fish will run in the 20#-30# class. My favorite way of cooking these smaller fish is fillets on the BBQ. After...

    Easter Ham

    Unless you pay a great deal for a good smoke cured ham nowadays, mostly we have pale, watery hams from the injection cure process only available to us. Put the smoker to good use this morning and ended up with a good product that everyone enjoyed at meal time. I started with a Farmer John...

    AZ Coues Buck

    Arizona Late Rifle Bull

    After successfully drawing a late rifle season bull tag, I was faced with either a DIY or guided hunt. With this most likely being my last Arizona elk tag, I opted for a guided hunt with Steve Chappell Guide Services. My guides, Tommy and Josh, were very familiar with the unit. They related...
