GRILLING VENISON BACKSTRAPS = ROGER'S OUTDOOR NEWS

Top your grilled venison with this versatile poblano cream sauce for a different take on backstrap.
Printer Friendly RecipeBY AUTHOR OF TIMBER 2 TABLE
This time of year, grilled venison backstrap hits our table on a pretty regular basis. We like it just fine by itself. But we eat a lot of venison, and I like to switch things up a bit from time to time. Bacon is the duct tape of the kitchen, and I have never thought to myself, “You know, this recipe would be better without the bacon,” so I wrap the thick venison steaks with a slice.
Cut the backstrap into thick steaks so the bacon can cook through before the venison gets too done.
Cut the backstrap into thick steaks so the bacon can cook through before the venison gets too done.

For seasoning on this one, I went with a Mexican theme, using the Kelly Realtree Chipotle Salt grinder and a pinch of ground cumin and coriander. The sauce is where it’s at for this recipe. Roasted Poblano peppers get pureed with heavy cream and seasonings into a fresh-tasting, rich sauce. It works pretty well over any grilled wild game (and scrambled eggs), so keep it handy when you want a south-of-the-border spin on just about anything. 
Grill the backstrap to medium-rare then top with a fresh tasting poblano cream sauce.

Ingredients

2 pounds venison backstrap
cut into 1.5-inch-thick steaks
1 slice of bacon for each steak
A healthy grind from the Kelly Realtree Chipotle spice grinder
A tablespoon each of ground cumin and coriander
mixed

For the sauce
2 poblano peppers
roasted and skinned
chopped
1.5 cups heavy cream
1 cup chicken stock
1 onion
diced
2 cloves garlic
minced
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon cumin

Cooking Instructions

Start by setting your oven on broil. Place the fresh peppers on a baking sheet and place under broiler. Leave the door cracked to allow steam to escape. Once the skins have charred (1-4 minutes, depending on oven), pull the peppers and flip them on the pan. Return to the oven and char the remaining side. Immediately move the peppers to a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap to trap the steam in the bowl. This will soften the charred skin.
Once the peppers are cool enough to touch, move them to a cutting board and remove the charred skin from the surface of the pepper. Open the roasted peppers and remove and discard the seeds. Roughly chop the flesh from the peppers and set them aside.
Roast the poblano peppers, then skin and seed them before cutting them up for the sauce.
Roast the poblano peppers, then skin and seed them before cutting them up for the sauce.

Season each steak on both sides with the salt grinder and a pinch of the seasoning blend. Wrap the backstrap with bacon and pin it in place with a toothpick. Grill over high heat for 3-5 minutes per side, depending on your desired doneness. Flip the steaks up on their side and rotate over the heat to crisp the bacon. Careful not to leave the steaks in one place for too long and burn the bacon.
Season the backstrap with the Kelly Seasoning Chipotle Grinder for a bit of heat.
Remove the steaks to a warm platter and cover with foil to rest. In a skillet, melt the butter and add the chopped onions. Cook over medium-high for five minutes until the onions soften. Add the garlic and chopped roasted peppers. Stir in the cumin and the flour, then cook for two to three minutes more, stirring constantly to cook the flour. Add the chicken stock and bring the mixture to a boil until it thickens slightly.
Remove the sauce from the heat and transfer it to a food processor. Pulse the mixture several times until smooth. Pour in the heavy cream and process a few more times until the sauce is well blended. Return the sauce to the skillet and bring it to a simmer, stirring constantly, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
To serve, plate the steaks, then top with sauce. Garnish with a sprig of fresh cilantro if desired

6 YEAR OLD SHOOTS A NICE BUCK. WIS. LAW PROVES YOUNGER THEN 10 CAN HUNT.

News

6-year-old girl bags buck under new hunting age law

MEDFORD, Wis. - A kindergartener from north central Wisconsin is among the first youngsters to bag a buck under the state's new law that eliminates the state's minimum hunting age.
Six-year-old Lexie Harris is no stranger to the woods. Her dad, Tyler Harris, has taken her hunting since she was three. But, it wasn't until Gov. Scott Walker signed the law on Nov. 12 that Lexie could legally shoot a deer. Harris has taught his daughter how to shoot with a youth rifle and has attached a smart phone to the scope to make it easier to see her target.
Harris carried his daughter's gun to their hunting stand Sunday in Taylor County. He helped her set up the shot. But, Harris says Lexie is the one who pulled the trigger and shot the 6-point buck.

IHEA-USA Reminds Hunters of the 4 Basic Rules of Firearm Safety
IHEA-USA reminds hunters of the 4 basic firearm safety tips as Mid-Season approaches.
In many states hunting season is close to reaching it's mid-point and Thanksgiving weekend is upon us. With families gathering many will take to the woods and fields to share in hunting traditions. IHEA-USA would like to take this time to remind hunters of the 4 Basic Firearm Safety Rules - to live by!

These are the Four Rules - and not guidelines that need to be obeyed at all times for a safe hunt, which is always a successful hunt.

1) Treat every firearm as if it were loaded.

2) Always maintain muzzle control and know where your firearm is pointed.

3) Keep your safety on and your finger out of the trigger guard until you are ready to shoot.

4) Be sure of your target and what is in front of and behind it.

These rules are not in any specific order, in fact they are all of equal importance. 

ROGER'S OUTDOOR NEWS AND THE WIS. DNR'S

With last week's cold snap, some lakes had started to freeze over but it's mostly skim ice and not safe yet for ice fishing. A warm up and rain in the forecast could melt ice that has formed. However open water fishing has continued to be good on Lower Green Bay and the Fox River for those who have not put their boats away yet. There were solid catches for musky with anglers reporting fish over 48 inches on the bay and excellent fishing for walleye and whitefish on the Fox. Those whitefish are pushing into the rivers to begin their spawning run and will remain in the river for the majority of winter, feeding on the abundant forage the Fox River has to offer.

On Wednesday morning on WLUK TV 11, they showed a photo of a row of tip-ups in the Hurley, WI ice fishing. I do not recommend anyone going out on any water surface around the central part of the state, but please check with all the locals if you do plan on going out onto the ice. BE SAFE PLEASE!

Fix NICS to Ensure Background Checks are More Reliable
Your Immediate Action is Needed and Appreciated

Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) introduced S. 2135, the Fix NICS Act to encourage and incentivize states to enter all applicable disqualifying records into the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) and help provide states the resources to do so. S. 2135 would also require federal agencies to properly report relevant records and hold those who fail to do so accountable.

There are currently several states and some federal agencies withholding disqualifying records that would help prevent prohibited persons under current law from possessing firearms. Federal Firearms License holders rely upon the NICS to be accurate in order to prevent the sale and transfer of firearms to prohibited persons.

Please take this opportunity to email or call today to urge your U.S. Senators to cosponsor S. 2135, the Fix NICS Act.

A good year to see our Arctic avian visitors 

It's looking like another big year for snowy owls in Wisconsin. As of Nov. 20, at least 69 individual birds have been spotted in 31 counties statewide. This total rivals the 82 found by this date in 2015-16 and far exceeds the three birds found by now last year.
Sightings have been widespread across every corner of the state, with biggest numbers from Green Bay to Oshkosh, in the Chequamegon Bay area near Ashland, and along the Lake Michigan shoreline, including a remarkable six individuals at the Sheboygan lakefront on Nov. 19.
Wisconsin’s influx is part of a large irruption underway across the eastern two-thirds of the continent from the western Great Plains to the Atlantic coast, highlighted by owls as far south as Oklahoma and North Carolina.
Our special snowy owl webpage has tips on where to look for these charismatic birds, where to report your sightings, and why birds may be showing up in large numbers this year.

SHARPEN YOUR KNIVES BEFORE GOING AFIELD == ROGER'S OUTDOOR NEWS

Here we are on opening morning and I all ready received a call to help out with bringing my knife sharpener kit to sharpen some knives of a group of guys I know real well. Seemed someone in the group forgot one thing, to sharpen his knives and now they shot a deer and the knife was so dull you couldn't cut butter with it. He had been using it to cut plastic on the cow feed bags and never thought it was that dull.

Once I again, I was called on to use my GATCO sharpeners and this is the unit that I use in the field when you need to make sure you have a very sharp knife at all times. Trust me sportsmen, this is one of the best units you can have in your outdoor kit. I love this unit so much, as even a young child can use it without making a mistake. In fact, my grandsons all had to use my unit to make sure their knives are sharp and ready for the hunting season at all times. Remember, it's not a sharp knife that will cut you, only a dull one will do that.

Below is the unit of GATCO sharpener I use all the time, and it's about time for me to purchase another one, as my stones are just about gone. I just love these GATCO sharpeners and I will always use them like I have for the past 20+ years. Buy one or several for the Christmas gift that keeps on giving year after year.  Roger

OH, HOW I MISS THE "GOOD OLD DAYS" LIKE WE HAD IN THE PAST. ROGER'S OUTDOOR NEWS

Well, here we are at the beginning of the 2017 deer season and the woods has been quiet as of 7:00 am and I heard no gun shots yet. Oh I'll take that back since someone decided to shoot at some thing right now. It's a cold wet morning and not the best deer hunting conditions around here near the lake shore. Of course I can't remember a year that we didn't have some rain. 

As I look back out the years from my youthful years, the first year I went deer hunting, we had a lite snow fall during the night and the guys I was hunting with had a beautiful spot for me to watch for deer. The first deer I saw was a doe that had to be going 100 mph as it almost ran me over and I had to check my pants to make sure they weren't full. I never ever saw a deer that close to me run past. 

As the day light got brighter and the cold started to settle in, I was rubbing my hands together wondering if I would ever see another deer that season. As I looked up, I was looking at a really nice spike buck following a doe coming out of the thick woods I was in. I could feel my heart and it felt like it was ready to jump out of my chest. As I raised the gun to shot the buck, I noticed a few more deer walking out of the woods near the very edge looking towards where I was sitting. I was so shocked to see so many deer at one time, unlike the stories I have heard in the past from the older hunters I was with. One of the guys I heard shooting in the woods on the other side of me, so I waited for the deer to get out of the woods and be a little closer to me. I froze in place, hoping they would not see me. I learned real fast that the deer have great noses, as I must of farted some, and they were looking for the direction of where it was coming from. Just as I was all locked in on shooting the buck, one doe decided to bolt, and all of them did the same thing. I got off one shot with my 20 ga. H & R single shot. 

Later on in the day, the other guys came over to me and asked why I froze like I did with that many deer in front of me. I told them I was waiting for a bigger deer to show up. Some seemed to have bought the idea and the others later told me they were watching to see what I would do with all those deer around me. Hey, I'm 12, my first year hunting, we didn't have hunter education in those days, you learned from the older members of the hunting party. You also learned how to play sheephead and drink some hard stuff. Oh the fun we use to have in the "good old days" when you could enjoy life without worrying if you were going to get busted for something everyone was doing in those days. Good Luck to all the 2017 hunters.

MORE PROOF THE DEMOCRATS DON'T GET IT, A GOOD GUY WITH A GUN, STOPPED A BAD GUY WITH A GUN!!!!!!

Joe Biden: Hero Who Ended Texas Rampage Shouldn’t Have Had His Gun

Joe Biden: Hero Who Ended Texas Rampage Shouldn’t Have Had His Gun
Most Americans consider Stephen Willeford a hero for bravely ending the rampage of a crazed murderer at a Texas church … but not former Vice President Joe Biden. During a national television appearance on Monday, Biden dismissed the Texan’s valorous actions, going so far as to say he shouldn’t have been carrying the AR-15 he used to stop the killer.
Biden, who is eyeing a presidential run in 2020, appeared on the Today show and took questions from the audience.
A young woman named Brianna asked him, “So with the tragedy that just happened in Texas, my question is, how do you justify the Democratic view on gun control when the shooter was stopped by a man who was legally licensed to carry a gun?”
It’s a fair question, given that the Democratic Party Platform labels AR-15s like the one Mr. Willeford used to defend his community “weapons of war” that must be taken “off our streets.” 
And true to form, Biden completely ignored the fact that Willeford used his rifle to save innocent lives.
“Well, first all,” Biden replied without hesitation, “the kind of gun being carried, he shouldn’t be carrying.”
Biden then went on to explain how he himself wrote the federal “assault weapons” ban in effect from 1994 to 2004. 
Yet Willeford himself has stressed that the type of firearm he used was a key factor in stopping the threat. “If I had run out of the house with a pistol and faced a bulletproof vest and kevlar and helmets,” he said in an interview, “it might have been futile.” 
“Number two,” Biden continued, “it’s just rational to say, certain people shouldn’t have guns. Now the fact that some people with guns are legally able to acquire a gun, and they turn out to be crazy after the fact, that’s life, and there’s nothing you can do about that. But we can save a lot of lives, and we’ve stopped tens of thousands of people who shouldn’t have guns from getting guns.”
Biden’s second point, given the question asked, was incoherent or non-responsive. Either Biden was suggesting Stephen Willeford was crazy and shouldn’t have had a gun, or he was simply pivoting to a familiar gun control talking point to deflect the uncomfortable fact that he had just suggested that Willeford shouldn’t have had access to the AR-15 that he used to end the Sutherland Springs shooting.
By all accounts, Stephen Willeford is an exemplary gun owner. He is an NRA member and has been certified as an NRA instructor, and his ability to deliver a precise, crime-ending shot in a high-stress encounter was the result of regular training and target practice. A neighbor described him as “a very good guy, very big Christian … the nicest man on the planet” and a person who “would do anything for anyone around here.” Nothing indicates Stephen Willeford is “crazy” or the type of person who shouldn’t lawfully be able to own any sort of firearm he wants. 
Biden’s more general point – that even some legal gun owners can later resort to bad behavior – has no relevance to the situation in Texas. The murderer was not a legal gun owner, and he did not obtain his crime guns legally. Thanks to a bureaucratic screw-up – exactly the sort of human fallibility that no law can cure – the criminal history information that would have disqualified the killer was never reported to the background check system. In other words, the very system that gun-control proponents seek to expand to all firearm transfers failed in exactly the situation where it might have done some good.
It says something about Joe Biden and his brand of politics that he is incapable of recognizing American heroism and goodness when it conflicts with his preordained agenda. 
Two men had similar firearms on that awful day in Sutherland Springs, Texas. The assailant had obtained his gun in defiance of the law, as bad men usually do. If Joe Biden had his way, the good guy who stopped him wouldn’t have had his gun at all. 
And make no mistake, if Stephen Willeford can’t own a gun in Joe Biden’s America, none of the rest of us would make the cut, either.

NOW THEY WANT YOUR MUZZLELOADERS ALSO, STOP THE WACKO DEMOCRATS AT ALL COST !!!!

Muzzleloaders Now Targeted by “Giffords” Gun Prohibition Lobby

Muzzleloaders Now Targeted by “Giffords” Gun Prohibition Lobby
It didn’t take long after the events in Las Vegas, Nevada for gun control advocates to resort to their usual tactic of blaming hardware for the acts of an evil man. Numerous anti-gun bills were introduced almost immediately, with arch anti-gun Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) leading the charge. “This is written in clean English,” Feinstein insisted of her bill. “It does not take anyone’s gun.” Less than a month later, however, Feinstein abandoned the pretense of “not taking” guns and introduced perhaps the most sweeping gun and magazine ban in U.S. history.  
Close on her heels this week was the recently-rebranded “Giffords” gun control consortium, which released a report that used the current debate over firearm legislation to … well, advocate for gun bans, too. But the Giffords report went well beyond the usual gun control talking points in extending its attack all the way to muzzle loading firearms. From the modern to the archaic, no gun is safe from the newly-emboldened prohibition lobby. 
Considering these proposals, it’s hard to imagine how any firearm can thread the needle through all the justifications gun control advocates use to argue for additional bans.  
Semiautomatic carbines that use detachable magazines must go, they say, because they can fire too many (relatively small) rounds too quickly. 
But muzzleloaders -- which fire one shot at a time and must be laboriously loaded through by hand down the barrel – can deliver what “Giffords” calls “a particularly lethal .50 caliber round” and are therefore unacceptable as well. 
Bump stocks should be banned, according to the report, because they increase the rate of fire of a semiautomatic rifle held against the shoulder. 
Yet dispensing with the stock entirely – as in the case of AR- or AK-style pistols – also presents a problem for the “Giffords” group because that creates guns capable of firing rifle-sized cartridges that are “concealable like handguns.” 
But concealability of course isn’t the only problem for “Giffords.” Exceptionally large guns are out, too. The Giffords report goes on to fault modern .50 caliber rifles for combining “long range, accuracy, and massive firepower.” 
Of course, the actual use of .50 caliber rifles to commit crime in the U.S. is vanishingly rare, thanks to their considerable weight, bulk, and price tag. A five-foot long gun that weighs nearly 33 lbs. and costs as much as many used cars is not likely to be the sort of tool most common criminals will lug from one crime scene to the next.
Where does this all lead? The Boston Globe answered that question this week with an article headlined, “Hand over your weapons.” It states: “The logic of gun control lies, at bottom, in substantially reducing the number of deadly weapons on the street—and confiscation is far and away the most effective approach.” This thesis is accompanied by the usual celebration of Australia’s mass gun confiscation effort, an almost mandatory feature of any journalistic exploration of gun control these days.
And while admitting that “America is not Australia,” the Globe writer nevertheless asserts “there’s no way around” the conclusion that widespread gun ownership is to blame for violent crime in America and that the solution must involve confiscating “millions of those firearms … .”
It’s telling that the “Giffords” organization – once among the more moderate of the gun control advocacy groups – now demands curbs on the sorts of muzzleloaders that it admits “fell out of favor as a firearm of choice almost a century ago, and are generally seen as primitive antiques.”
But what’s really out of favor and antiquated, in the unforgiving worldview of gun abolitionists, is your Second Amendment rights. The values of America’s Founding Fathers are just as obnoxious to them as the revolutionary-era rifles that helped win America’s freedom.
