In this essay, Kory Slye fills us in on just how important it is to bring your kids hunting; even if that means missing out on some harvesting opportunities. https://harvestingnature.com/2026/05/25/take-your-kids-hunting/

Where would I be if my Dad didn’t take me hunting when I was a kid? That’s a tough question to answer. Being from a relatively rural area, I probably would have found my way to hunting eventually. But why leave such a significant experience up to chance? Hunting is a profound part of our history, our culture, and our lives, even for the people that choose not to hunt. We should be doing everything in our power to further that tradition, to improve hunter ranks, and to ensure hunting’s future.

Looking for a new quick and easy weeknight dinner using ground wild game? Justin Townsend has got you covered with this delicious, herbaceous, and audacious noodle bowl! https://harvestingnature.com/2026/04/06/thai-basil-and-ground-game-meat/

This recipe quickly climbed to the top of my favorites list. I love Asian cuisines and my garden, as discussed in Ep 18 of our Podcast, is rocking with Thai Basil. A lot of people are intimidated by Thai Basil and may not know what to cook using this awesome herb. Well… this recipe should be your first choice. You can use any type of basil for this recipe, but I HIGHLY recommend using Thai Basil. Also, you can use any type of game meat. I used some ground wild pork I had in the freezer. A traditional version of this recipe uses rice as the starch but I decided to go with pad thai noodles which I enjoy much more.
