Adventures in Learning to Hunt

Yesterday was the opening of small game season, but due to busy schedules I wasn't able to go out looking for squirrels or rabbits. My little family has started planning out our meals a week or so in advance to avoid the last minute "what should we eat for supper?" plans where we end up getting fast food. So today, I'm making one of my childhood favorite meals, Pizza Casserole. My mom used to make this for me on special occasions, and she taught me to make it. Why is it here on my learning to hunt blog? Because today I'm making it with ELK! No, I didn't hunt the elk, unless you count a sharp eye spotting it from across the local Farmers Market. We spent the summer finding new and different meats there and at a local store called Fresh Thyme, which has led to eating such game as elk, venison, wild boar, antelope and even yak. (And yes, the yak is surprisingly and amazingly good!) Those are stories for another day. I want to get the bulk of this written before...
