Robby hosts today’s Tipsy Tuesday while Sam is deep in the Montana woods. On the guest mic is renowned Wild Game Chef, John McGannon of Wild Eats. Hunters are not getting the best possible taste and texture from their wild game unless they are dry-aging. This is an ancient technique mostly forgotten by today’s run-n-gun society. Dry-aging helps hunters achieve the best tasting wild game possible. Robby has used these techniques for almost 20 years since attending John’s seminar at Western Hunt Expo back in the day.

They also talk about the steps from field to table to ensure the meat is properly cared for, and some hunter hacks to use if you don’t have a walk-in cooler.

Give it a listen and if you like what you hear, you can read more on John’s website here https://www.wildeats.com/

Robby Denning
Robby Denning started hunting mule deer in the late 1970’s, only missing one season in 35 years. At 25, he gave up the pursuit of all other big-game to focus on taking the best bucks possible. He began hunting the West on a DIY budget hunting an average of 30 days a year for mule deer. Robby loves the hunt as much as the kill and the entire process from research to scouting to hunting. He’s killed four bucks over 200 inches in the last 15 seasons, mostly on easily-obtained tags. He owns a public-land scouting service and runs a private-land outfitting business helping other hunters in their pursuit of deer and elk. Robby has scouted and hunted literally thousands of square miles of mule deer country and brings a wealth of knowledge about these experiences with him. To him, the weapon of choice is just a means-to-an-end and will hunt with bow, rifle, or muzzleloader – whatever it takes to create an opportunity to take a great mule deer. He is also the author of "Hunting Big Mule Deer" available on Amazon. Robby believes all of creation is from God for man to manage, respect, and through which to know its Creator
