“If you’re willing to invest $34, you can buy a chance on saving one wolf’s life.” That’s the message being promoted by a wolf advocacy group in Minnesota and posted to a blog and MinnPost by author Karl Bremer. “Simply … Read More
Full moon. 1 mile back in a sanctuary. Buck tearing up a tree in the thicket. 2 small bucks sparring 25 yards to 10 feet by my tree. Airforce Awax plane flying over. Walking back under the glowing light of the moon w/ Michael reminiscing on our day of hunting. Priceless.
I’ll share my thoughts on the whole Deertour in a future post after I digest everything.
Thank you all!

If you’ve had a chance to flip through the June issue of Field & Stream, you might have seen a short piece I wrote titled “The Sweet Life,” detailing some simple dessert ideas from Steve McGrath over at Camp Chef. Of the three sweet treats listed, the Dutch Oven Dump Cobbler is the real crowd pleaser, according to McGrath. But his personal favorite didn’t make it into print.
McGrath, who freely admits to having an insatiable sweet tooth, loves his deep-fried Oreos and regularly whips up a batch whenever he’s camp cook. To me, that sounds like a combination of a cavity and heart attack in the making, but he swears by the things. I will admit, they are simple to make and, if you’re feeding a pack of hungry kids, are just the thing to top off a camp-cooked meal. Here’s how to make them.
Deep-Fried Oreos
If you’re at home, pop about a dozen Oreos into the freezer for 30 minutes or so. If you’re at camp, put them in the cooler for at least an hour. You want that filling to get nice and firm so it doesn’t all melt away when it hits the hot oil. While the cookies are chilling, get your oil ready. Pour about 1 ½ to 2 inches of vegetable or peanut oil into a Dutch oven and set the pot over medium-high heat.
There are all kinds of ways to make the batter, but in camp McGrath keeps it simple by blending boxed buttermilk pancake mix with water to a consistency thick enough to stick to the Oreo. When the oil hits 375 degrees, dip the cookies into the batter and carefully drop them into the hot oil.
After 15 seconds or so, flip each cookie using a pair of bamboo skewers. Wait another 15 seconds, then pull the Oreos out with a slotted spoon and drain them on a paper-towel lined plate. Before you pop the piping-hot nuggets of goo into your mouth, up the buzz factor with a light dusting of powdered sugar.
And if you’re worried about eating all 12 of them yourself, don’t be. Calories eaten in camp don’t count.

I’m back home from the emergency room.
I think my allergic reaction to poison ivy started during the last hunt in Arkansas.
We sat on the ground in some briars and I had a feeling something wasn’t right.
On my drive to Oklahoma the next day, I had an itch on my left wrist. I thought it was a mosquito bite or just a scratch from a briar.
I felt fine that night and even the entire next day of hunting with Michael and Matt.
But that night I started feeling itchy on a few spots. They do have a cat and dog, which I am allergic to but I did not touch them.
That night, Michaels wife said I looked glazed over in my eyes. I think that’s when it started to hit my body.
The room I slept in had a litter box in it so that may have excelerated my reaction.
I couldn’t sleep and woke up edgy and itchy.
My face looked red and swollen. So I left at 6am to drive home.
On the drive, my itch and swelling got worse.
I had to stop at Walmart fit some topical cremes and Benadryl.
That helped a bit.
When I got home 12 hours later, my swelling got worse. The worst part is I couldn’t hug or kiss my wife and kids. I didn’t want them to catch it.
I was dead tired so by 7pm I went to bed.
I woke up at 11pm and couldnt see out of my left eye due to swelling.
I took more mess and went to bed.
Woke up at 5am and it was bad. I got in the car and drove to the ER.
They took me in thinking I was in a fight. But were surprised when I said it was an allergic reaction.
So They got an IV in me and shoot some steroids, Benadryl and something else directly into my bloodstream.
Well, after an hour, they sent me home with more steroids and meds.
I’m. Pretty doped ip right now burnish wanted to post this update.
Deertour – Never Quit!
Thank you all for your well wishes and to everyone I met on the trip.
