This year you’ll have several chances to hunt with me on one of my culinary hunts, and they won’t all be in Oklahoma; I am doing a hunt in Texas, too.
Remember, if you are a paid subscriber and register for any of these hunts, you get 5 percent off the cost, which amounts to hundreds of dollars in some cases. It’s one way I can thank you for being a supporter. When you register, let us know you are a paid subscriber and we’ll get you that discount.
Wild Hogs
That’s the first hunt of the year, in conjunction with Havesting Nature. We’ll be hunting in north Texas between April 10-13. Details are here. There are only 5 seats left for this hunt!
Doves and Teal
Up next will be a combination teal and dove hunt in Oklahoma with Larry Robinson of Coastal Wings Outfitters. Bring lots of shells, because both teal and doves are among the most aerobatic fliers of any game birds in America. We’ll be hunting and grilling on this one, because the weather will be hot — perfect for outdoor cooking — and both doves and teal are excellent cooked over open fire.
You’ll arrive September 14 and hunt the 15th until the morning of the 17th. Cost is $2000, which includes lodging, all meals — dinners cooked by me — bird prep, a copy of Pheasant, Quail, Cottontail, and three hunts. License and tips not included.
This is an absolute blast of a hunt! Lots of action, warm weather, great food. Our last one sold out quickly.

Deer
These hunts will also be with Coastal Wings in Loveland, Oklahoma. It’ll be two deer hunts, back to back. One, primarily a doe hunt, geared for anyone, the other an advanced venison course for buck hunters.
We’re doing this because we have lots of repeat clients who already know the ropes on how to process and butcher deer. The advanced hunt will not only focus on bucks, but on advanced processing ideas, as well as curing venison and sausage making.
Arrival for the first school is November 29 with departure on December 2 at midday. The second school starts the evening of the 2nd and ends midday on December 5.
The first school is primarily a doe hunt; hunters can kill two per person. The second is a buck hunt, with does secondary.
Like the other schools, We will offer hands-on experience from harvest to table. The evenings are filled with cooking, and we’ll feature venison each night.
These schools sell out very quickly and are limited. We have only 10 spots for each hunt. Each hunt includes 3 nights of lodging, all meals, the school, a copy of Buck, Buck, Moose.
Cost for the doe hunt is $2500, the buck hunt is $5000. There are big bucks out there, I can assure you. I shot a deer that scored 150 there in 2022, and another last year that scored in the 140s. And there are deer larger than that.

Why Only 3 Schools?
Welp, because hopefully my new book Borderlands will come out in either May or early June. I am stoked about this, to say the least.
I’ll definitely be touring for the book, but all that is up in the air right now. More on that soon…
Hey Hank,
I’m signed up for upcoming your hog hunt - pretty excited about it too. I see that you’ll be including a copy of Buck, Buck, Moose. I already have the book and use it quite often so I wonder if you could bring some of your other books and maybe I can choose a substitute?

Man, jealous of the US citizens that have access to these hunts. I would go for the dove/teal myself but they all look good. Looking forward to reading dispatches from these.
