Migrant Waters: Grilled Chukar Salad w/ Huckleberry Vinaigrette

http://migrantwaters.blogspot.com/2014/11/grilled-chukar-salad-w-huckleberry.html

A hunting/fishing guide's year long pursuit of feathers, fins, and food. November 21, 2014. Grilled Chukar Salad w/ Huckleberry Vinaigrette. This one is pretty easy. Make a salad and put grilled chukar on top of it. The hard part is hunting the chukars and trying to find the huckleberries. 4-6 chukar breasts (brined). Brine- 2 tbs salt*. 1 tbs apple cider vinegar. 3 cups warm water. Sear over high heat to get grill marks on both sides. Cook through. Rest. 1/2 cup huckleberry vinegar. Some Nice Dog Work.

Migrant Waters: Montana Gold

http://migrantwaters.blogspot.com/2014/04/montana-gold.html

A hunting/fishing guide's year long pursuit of feathers, fins, and food. April 25, 2014. I've seen the look, the one you get for passing up the Missouri and the Skwala hatch on the Big Hole to fish for carp. I get it. I like big trout too. But not enough to give up a chance at casting to a fish with its head down, tail up, and feeding in shallow water. I blame redfish and the Cape Fear Coast for that. But why carp?

Migrant Waters: A Week Well Spent

http://migrantwaters.blogspot.com/2014/12/a-week-well-spent.html

A hunting/fishing guide's year long pursuit of feathers, fins, and food. February 15, 2015. A Week Well Spent. A rail hunt, an oyster roast, chasing bobwhites with old friends at Wintergreen and G&T 's on the house (the folks' house to be exact) - Not a bad checklist for a week in SE North Carolina. There also happened to be a holiday in there somewhere, involving turkeys and out of control grandmothers. Here's a few shots from a week well spent. The old man shooting rails, but still talking turkey.

Migrant Waters: Marsh Hens and Collards

http://migrantwaters.blogspot.com/2014/12/marsh-hens-and-collards.html

A hunting/fishing guide's year long pursuit of feathers, fins, and food. February 15, 2015. Marsh Hens and Collards. Grilled Marsh Hens w/ Wild Rice and Homegrown Collards. Legs on a game bird suck. Tough, full of tendons, too much work and not enough meat. I'm a leg man, so I disagree. Well, to be more honest, I'm a equal opportunist when it comes birds; legs, breasts, *gizzards, I'll take it all -sometimes even the feet. A dozen marsh hens (breasts and legs separated). 6-8 minutes per bird part. It hap...

Migrant Waters: Teal Tacos?

http://migrantwaters.blogspot.com/2011/12/teal-tacos.html

A hunting/fishing guide's year long pursuit of feathers, fins, and food. December 1, 2011. Let’s look at the history of a taco. No, they were not invented at a late night fast food chain for drunk college students. And if you’ve ever eaten a taco at such a establishment, you loose all sincerity scoffing at the idea of a “duck” taco. Teal Taco Recipe :. 2-4 fillets brined and grilled teal (any wild duck, wood duck, mallard, etc). 1 Cup shredded cheese. 188; cup freshly cracked pepper. I prefer to clean an...

Migrant Waters: Quail Quesadillas

http://migrantwaters.blogspot.com/2011/12/quail-quesadillas.html

A hunting/fishing guide's year long pursuit of feathers, fins, and food. December 13, 2011. Lets face it. Mexican just goes well with mystery meats. So does Chinese for that matter. But more importantly, its cheaper to cook Mexican than Chinese. And if you really knew how fish sauce was made, you would think twice about eating your Szechuan Beef or Moo Goo Gai Pan. Mystery meat would be the least of your concerns. Shredded (mine comes from a bag). Tuesday, December 13, 2011. Chris McCreedy Guide Service.

Migrant Waters: Sleepytime Explosion Stone

http://migrantwaters.blogspot.com/2015/01/sleepytime-explosion-stone.html

A hunting/fishing guide's year long pursuit of feathers, fins, and food. January 20, 2015. Who named this fly. Borat? My first day at Spotted Bear Ranch. As a newbie guide was a memorable one, to say the least. The head guide at the time walked in with a man wearing what looked like a big, palm-leaf sombrero. So you're the new guy, huh? The head guide asked, "Let me see your fly box.". I was a little intimidated. I had never seen a palm-leaf hat that big before. Here's a step by step for this davies expl...

Migrant Waters: Absent on Opening Day

http://migrantwaters.blogspot.com/2014/04/absent-on-opening-day.html

A hunting/fishing guide's year long pursuit of feathers, fins, and food. April 12, 2014. Absent on Opening Day. 8220;We are turkey hunting in this field, did you not see my truck parked down the road? 8221; The Old Man said. The grandmother snapped back, “Well, we ride in this field all the time, our land is right across the road, been in my family for three generations.”. 8220;That may be, but this is not your property and I have written permission to hunt here.” He replied. 8220;We were headed right fo...

Migrant Waters: April 2015

http://migrantwaters.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html

A hunting/fishing guide's year long pursuit of feathers, fins, and food. April 15, 2015. Confessions of a Cutty Guide. During the season, sometimes I wonder what it would be like to work on another river, to be excited about row after row of neatly organized, tiny nymphs. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to test my skills against a species of fish that isn't so unapologetic about taking an over-sized, floating piece of foam. But then I realize, I just gave up the best seat in the house. It happen...
