She's in our thoughts Lark.

Thanks for your support Doug. Congrats Jake!

Tenderloin on any animal doesn't have much fat. That is why it's tender when cooked rare to med-rare. Anything beyond that and you are just killing it, or hate yourself so much to feed yourself shoe leather and cardboard. Here is one recipe sure to please: Season the tenderloin with kosher salt and fresh cracked black pepper Sear it on a hot skillet, turning it to make the outside nice and brown. Depending on the thickness, it should be done cooking by the time you finish searing it. If not, place the skillet into a 350*f oven until done. Remove meat from pan to rest as you make the sauce. Deglaze the pan with 1/4 c of brandy. (careful with the flame) Add a few peppercorns to the pan and swirl in some butter and minced shallots. (onions will do) Finish this off by adding heavy cream and a little dijon mustard to the pan. Reduce liquid until you get a nice consistency. (if it coats the back of a metal spoon, you are good) Slice the tenderloin and pour the sauce over it. You now have Elk Tenderloin Au Poivre Enjoy!

Unfortunately, this seems to be the norm out there. Every time I go there, I swear up and down that it's my last. Lately, I've been going the extra mile to NOT go there. I've been happy ever since.

Congrats and way to make an intro! Welcome.

Great job Vin! Looks like you are pretty good at following your dads instructions. Before you know it, you'll know all this stuff on your own. Congrats!

Congrats to the hunter. Interesting the way the rack tilts back the way it does.

Looks like you all had a blast! That Mahi Mahi (Dorado) is some fun sportfishing. Out of all the fish there, I LOVE cooking and eating black seabass. It's very rich and is awesome broiled.

Way to go! Congrats on a 200 yard shot. Nice to see more people from the forum meeting up.

Awesome right side on that bad boy. Great mass.

Way to go Kade!

Happy Birthday!!

If you down him, get with Amanda for a guess the score contest. With all the pics you have pre-hunt, it should make for good guessing. I hope you get to ground check him. Good Luck!

Pretty good luck there! I enjoyed them.

Thanks for sharing with us. I'm hoping to see her home soon.

GO GET HIM!!!! Man! I get excited just looking at the trail cam pic!!!

Much congrats to your son! What a great opportunity and its awesome you two put it to good use! Nothing better than a father/son hunt.

Way to go girl! Congrats!

Congrats on the success. Puking up water after a grueling packout, been there done that!

Great story. Hope you end up being smarter and luckier!

Nice rack on that buck! Nice to finally see him hanging on your wall I bet.

The smile says it all! Congrats to your boy. The youth sure are putting the smack down on game this year!

That's taking care of business right there Mitch! I gotta make it down that way sometime.
