Matt Rice looked at me like I had a third eyeball growing out of my forehead, but it was a legitimately honest question since I’d never heard of a fried onion burger.

“Whad’daya mean, what’s a fried onion burger? You’ve never had one?”

We were a couple of days into our hunt at Oklahoma’s legendary Chain Ranch in October 2015 with the new Thompson Center Strike muzzleloader when someone mentioned the burgers. After the best ribeye steak I’ve ever had at the Chain one evening, and then a super lunch of Mexican fare at El Charro in tiny nearby Canton, my waistline was starting to yelp.

But I don’t shy away from a tasty burger. This fried onion burger had piqued my curiosity. Rice, who is with Blue Heron Communications in Norman, Okla., and helps with PR for Thompson Center, explained that a fried onion burger is one in which the marriage between beef and onion is made on the flattop.

They begin cooking the patty, he said, and then separately start browning some chopped onions. A lot of them. We’re not talking about one or two little rings. I’m talking about a third to a half an onion per patty. Yep, that many. Because they’re good.

Then, after the patty’s browned a bit and the onions are starting to caramelize, move the onions to the meat. Let them rest on top, if you want, or you can smash ’em together for more cooking. Some folks add jalapenos. Cheese can be added.

Here’s how they’re made at Baird’s. My video’s not great but it was shot on the fly, so excuse the impromptu work:

Apparently there’s even a long, hot debate about who has the best Fried Onion Burger in Oklahoma. Johnny’s, Sid’s and Robert’s — all of them in tiny El Reno — get votes and love and raised eyebrows, depending on who you’re talking with. It reminds me of my hometown where the two joints that had similar burgers also had regulars who wouldn’t let the other’s food pass their lips.

Ah, such is life and the greatness of civil debate and food diversity.

If you enjoy onions, and want a fried onion burger, whip up a batch of burgers and enjoy. Here’s a recipe for venison pan fried steaks if you don’t like or can’t eat onions.

Venison Pan Fried Steaks
This recipe comes from mywildkitchen.com and was posted on our DDH Forum.

Ingredients:
1 – 2 pounds venison steaks, tenderized
½ onion, diced
2 – 4 Tbsp, divided
¼ c flour
½ tsp seasoning
¼ tsp garlic salt
¼ tsp pepper

Directions:

Dice onion. Heat 1 – 2 Tbsp butter in a large cast iron skillet. Sauté onion until translucent and slightly browned.

Once sautéed, push onions to the edge of the skillet.

Meanwhile, tenderize meat. Sprinkle steaks with seasonings. Place ¼ c flour on a large plate. Dredge steaks in flour.
Add 1 – 2 Tbsp butter to the skillet. Lay the steaks in the skillet. Cook for 4 – 5 minutes or until blood begins to pool on the tops of the steaks. Flip the steaks. Cover the skillet with a lid, reduce heat, and cook for another 5 – 7 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and spoon sautéed onions over the tops of the steaks and serve.

The BoneView SD Card Reader gives you the ability to view Trail Camera photos & videos on the way to your stand. It plugs into an
Android Smartphone’s microUSB port to view all SD or microSD files from any Trail Camera.

Born deep in the heart of Wisconsin’s bluff country, we are whitetail hunters with a “mad scientist” approach. Instead of relying on luck, rely on real, hard data. The most important is “right time” and “right place” data. This is why we developed BoneView. You can see what cameras are hot and make last second stand selections.

This works with most later model Android devices. **iPhones are not compatible with this micro USB version – Contact BoneView for non-Android devices.


HOW IT WORKS

1) “File Manager File Transfer” app needed to view, scan, save, or delete photos

2) Insert SD card into BoneView first, and then connect BoneView to microUSB charge port

3) BoneView will light and then start flashing as phone reads SD card files

4) With “File Manager File Transfer” app open to home screen, wait 10-15 seconds for “USBDriveA” to show up in the list – Then find trail files located in “DCIM” folder.

*To view videos use app called “MX Player”. It’s best to copy the video file to the phone before viewing to improve playback quality.

**Select “Safely Remove USB Device” from phone’s notification menu before disconnecting to avoid interrupting SD card

Verify Compatibility of Android devices in the compatibility list included in the photos

Don’t hesitate, try it out today. We back our product NO MATTER WHAT with our 100% Customer Satisfaction Guarantee, so if the device just isn’t compatible – let us know and we will work with you to ensure you stay happy.

I hunt daily. I get skunked most days. I experience every imaginable hunting scenario God’s miraculous creation can possibly produce. I have seen it all, but I’m not even warmed up yet.

Last Friday I once again found myself sitting in a tree pursuing happiness and sacred backstraps in South Texas on what can truly be best described as the most target-rich whitetail deerhunting piece of wildground there is in all of North America.

By Ted Nugent

Even with very disciplined trophy hunting selectivity, the 1000s and 1000s of pristine habitat deer paradise acres I was hunting averages a whopping 150% success rate per hunter for bowhunting only.

Can you say KOWABUNGA!

Of course combining my 1 mile radius deathwish electronic warning aura emitting Defcom1 high energy alarms to all living creatures, a blinding fullmoon glow and a record setting rain induced vegetation glut providing unlimited ultra-nutrition for the deer to gorge themselves on here there and everywhere, the huge whitetail population had turned into ghosts and I was about to single-handedly reduce this phenomenal success rate down to a more animal friendly single digit reality.

I hate when that happens.

Being that as it may, I sat 15 feet up all giddy with positive hopes and anticipation that my backstrap jihad would continue for the best bowhunting season of my life.

At dark-30, a trio of fine little bucks emerged from the dense puckerbrush for a date with destiny, and after a stealthy predator ballet of graceful maneuvering, my 50# Mathews Halon sent a 400 grain heat-seeking GoldTip projectile deadcenter through a handsome butterball buck’s shoulders, in and out for what certainly must be a near instant death arrow hit.

You know, the kind we all train and practice for with all our heart and soul.

You would think. And video evidence from more than 100 big game bowkills for the season would surely promise a repeat result, would it not?

Not so fast MotorCity WhackMaster goofball, not so fast.

Let us scurry to day three where my 3^rd arrow punched a bloody hole clean through the 3^rd deer of the trip, in what stop action video would clearly show to exactly replicate the 1^st two arrow hits on the 1^st two deer.

Deer #2 and deer #3 died within sight after a scrambling 75 yard deathrun.

Entrance and exit wounds proved to be near identical within less than an inch difference on each, my razor sharp broadheads cleanly disconnecting the life giving pumpstations and skewering the air bellowing lungs for what I am sure we can all agree is the dream shot for all dedicated, diligently practiced bowhunters.

But here’s the rub/lesson; deer #1, again with the exact same hit, was never found after two days of tracking, including the employ of a well-trained, experienced blood-trailing hound.

Go figure. It happens. And though it happens rarely, it could very well drive a conscientious bowhunter batty, even causing post-traumatic stress as the losing of a sacred animal is tragically heartbreaking to any of us whenever it happens.

I shoot my bow daily. I train/practice like a bowhunter possessed. I concentrate on form, breathing, sight control, muscle memory, and one hell of a systematic, all-encompassing release on every arrow.

And if I do say so myself, I send some mighty fine arrows into some mighty fine critters for a near 100% recovery rate, year in and year out.

But when weird alien, anti-science deer team up with the old bastard Murphy and his repugnant law, strange things can and do happen.

Sometimes the critters simply don’t play by the biology rules. It makes no sense whatsoever, but it happens.

As long as we dedicate ourselves to be ultimately proficient with our weapons, practice diligent predator stealth and only take those maximum percentage shots we are capable of, when an animal refuses to give up the ghost and it appears to have been lost, we can only chalk it up to bad luck and some bizzarro voodoo of the animal kingdom.

It’s been five days since the arrow hit on my lost butterball buck and the ranch hands have not seen any vultures indicating a dead deer.

I will never know how they do it, but they do, and as long as we did everything right and proper, we must not beat ourselves up and torture ourselves for losing a deer that by all indications was not our fault.
