Inspired by the crisp, refreshing flavors in spring rolls, this salad is a great way to enjoy light-meat game birds when the weather turns warm Here’s a light, refreshing salad to try with chukar or any light-meat game bird, such as pheasant, turkey, quail, or ruffed grouse. The salad is inspired by the Vietnamese flavors in spring rolls, like bright mint, a healthy dose of veggies, and a creamy, tangy peanut and lime dressing. Lastly, honey-roasted peanuts add crunch to the salad. If you’re substituting chukar with a bigger bird for this recipe, poach the meat longer and look for an internal ..read more

How the Wisconsin Sharp-tailed Grouse Society Conserves the State’s Sharptails and A Globally Threatened Habitat. During my time at Deerfield Elementary School in southern Wisconsin, my fourth-grade teacher taught us about Wisconsin’s geological history. I recall learning about glaciers, the formation of our local drumlins, and how unique the unglaciated driftless area is when it comes to midwestern landscapes. However, I don’t recall Mr. Meyer teaching my class about the endangered sandy pine barrens located in the northwestern part of the state.  Listen to more articles on Apple&n ..read more

How to Make Goose Jerky
Project Upland | Bird Hunting Videos Series
by Jack Hennessy

Processing and preserving goose meat as jerky is a great way to make protein-rich snacks for future hunts Jerky is the go-to option for any wild meat that hunters deem unworthy as table fare. Geese, especially light geese, tend to fall into this category. Even if you deeply appreciate goose meat’s culinary potential, we all still love jerky and need to scratch that itch from time to time. The Light Goose Conservation Order is underway, which allows for additional goose hunting opportunities in some states. This helps to manage overpopulations of light goose species because they can wreak havoc ..read more

Basics of Training Dogs with a Long Lead

by Jason Carter

Is using long leads to train dogs a relic of the past or a timeless treasure? Dog training methodologies are vast. The long lead’s outward appearance may seem to be a relic of training days gone by. And truth be told, for some, they wouldn’t be wrong. With the invention of the e-collar and the now mainstream training approaches of utilizing classical and operant conditioning, many trainers forego the use of the long lead altogether.  Listen to more articles on Apple | Google | Spotify | Audible I’d argue that the long lead is not only relevant today but ..read more

Celebrate St. Patrick’s day with an upland take on a classic holiday meal, substituting pheasant for the traditional corned beef When prompted to think of a traditional St. Patrick’s Day dish, most people think of corned beef and cabbage or corned beef and hash. But what happens if we use upland birds instead of cattle in these dishes? I incorporated a rooster pheasant in this recipe, but you can use any upland birds that add up to approximately one pound of meat. We will cure the meat in the same way one would with corned beef. In my experience, the pheasant was not as pink as I thought it wo ..read more

This goose breast is cooked to perfection and paired with a rich, sweet beurre blanc sauce with dark cherries Here are two must-know facts: 1) Every wild-game home cook should own a sous vide, and 2) The sous vide cooking method followed by a reverse sear is the best way to enjoy wild ducks and geese. When a wild duck or goose breast slowly stirs, marinates, and cooks in its own fat, the end product is truly incredible. Duck confit is the perfect example of this. The skin is the best place to find waterfowl fat and flavor. As a result, it is always recommended to pluck breasts and keep the ski ..read more

Project Upland celebrates 10 years of filmmaking and the evolution of those who tell your stories. “I will never have a perfect dog. I will never be the perfect shot. I will never understand everything about Ruffed Grouse. Those layers, for me, are the point. The point is that I can endlessly try and never actually reach that goal. That goal will always be pushed further and further away. That’s the point.” Founder of Project Upland, A.J. DeRosa If you had told me back in 2014 that Project Upland would evolve from the random wanderings of a New Englander into an award-winning film series, I w ..read more
