Deer Season-ing
(or how to make your beef taste like venison)
I overheard still has the my husband ehind the need to “hunt telling a friend and kill and he had five deer provide meat for heel permits to fill the table.” After Janice Mosel, this fall. Five? some searching, Sporting Grandma A few weeks I found the ago, he said he following in was out of deer my recipe meat. Out? I didn’t know we could box. I am thinking there could be a run out of deer meat. compromise. This week he has been sitting on the patio sighting in his bow and arrow. I have a bad feeling deer season is approaching. I’m not a fan of wild game as a menu choice. I have eaten my share of pheasant and I am over that delicacy. Growing up in Nebraska, pheasants are truly hunted, like it can be an all day job to find one. When the men folk had a particularly good opening weekend, the neighborhood would gather on a Saturday evening and we would have pheasant and waffles. Yes, pheasant and waffles. The waffles were wonderful, the ow to make beef pheasant not so much. There was taste like venison always a prize for whoever found the most buckshot. 1.

4. Shoot the steer immediately after it has been chased (make sure it’s a gut shot, and do this via a hind quarter). A second or third kill shot will tenderize the meat and get as much hair as possible into the impact area. 5. Drag the dead carcass to a slough and field dress it there. Make sure to get as much grass, weeds, cattails, and debris in as possible.

6. Drag the steer at least one half mile across a summer fallow field to get plenty of dirt mixed into the wound and the carcass interior. 7. Load the steer on top of the car or in the back of a truck and drive down a gravel road at least five miles at speeds approaching 70mph, then down a crowded highway, following a semi loaded with cows fresh off grass. This will get as much highway grit and aroma, bugs, and rocks imbedded in the meat as possible

(for extra flavor, do this in the rain.) 8. Hang the beef in the garage (make sure it is low enough so that the dog can chew on the hind quarter). 9. At least once a day have your wife idle a vehicle for five minutes in the garage. Carbon monoxide adds greatly to the flavor. 10. When the carcass smells so bad you can hardly stand being in the garage, the beef is ready to butcher. Properly followed, the above steps will ensure that your beef is mistaken for venison by even the most avid sportsman. Everyone will marvel at how much venison you have and how good it tastes . . . and you won’t have to put on that crazy outfit and walk for 300 miles. Happy Hunting. Go, Deer! Excuse me ... go, dear!

The survey is not a population estimate, but rather compares the number of pheasants seen on the routes and establishes trend information. “We’ve had a roller coaster ride of weather conditions over the year,” Vonk said. “Pheasant numbers will be down in a few areas, but they held strong in many other areas because of excellent reproduction in parts of the state

South Dakota has worked intensely with private landowners and other conservation
partners to promote habitat programs,” Vonk said. “Statewide Conservation Reserve Program acres have slipped to slightly more than one million acres, but there is encouraging news. Landowner interest in the program remains high.” South Dakota’s regular pheasant season opens on Saturday, Oct. 16 and runs through Jan. 2.

The crops also provide cover for the birds, which minimizes damage done to the population by predators such as

Pheasant Hunt to Support
Rural Healthcare Education By Jessica Giard/Sun
Every Monday this fall, a group five Chamberlain area residents meet for distance education classes, believing they will someday fulfill the growing healthcare needs of rural South Dakota communities. In November, another group will meet to help make those hopes a reality. The MHCH Foundation – short for, the Matson Halverson Christensen Hamilton Foundation – has, for the first time this year, gathered pre-nursing students in Lyman, Brule and Buffalo counties to fill development healthcare education needs. And, they are looking to pheasant hunters to help the program grow. The foundation, with support from Grand Slam Pheasants of Kimball, is hosting a charitable pheasant hunt November 22-23. The Korzan family of Grand Slam is donating their services to the foundation to support its efforts in local nursing education. In fall 2009, the foundation set out to determine the continuing education needs of the local rural communities. They found, overwhelmingly, a need for healthcare education, which they see as an anchor for economic activity and a strong employer for in rural communities. This need grew into the RN Nursing Program the foundation is now supporting. Collaboration with
Sanford Health Chamberlain and the USD School of Nursing brought the program to fruition this year, with its class of five who are starting their prenursing education work. In addition to the Monday night class – delivered via video-conferencing DDN at the local high school – students also have other courses this fall, depending on individual needs.
Family history dates back to the 1880s when the original families – the Matsons and Halversons – settled near Reliance and Kimball. Business development in the region runs through the family, landing with Christine (Christiansen) Hamilton who manages the fourth-generation farming and ranching business of Christiansen Land and Cattle, Ltd. “The foundation comes from the farming and ranching background. The hunt will take place on the family land of Christiansen Land and Cattle,” said Corey Hamilton Kilgore, development officer with MHCH Foundation and one of four daughters to Edward and Christine Hamilton.

Local man gets the
best shots on film
By Jessica Giard/Sun
Growing up in Chamberlain - smack dab in the middle of South Dakota‘s prime hunting lands - Eric Miller says there wasn’t much to do beyond school activities and going to the movies. So, he became an outdoorsman. And, now he’s an outdoorsman with a video camera and a new business - Outdoor Adventures Videography, or OAV for short. Miller’s interest in videography spawned from documenting his young boys’ activities - his boys are 4 and 8 and budding outdoorsmen themselves - and his own fishing and hunting adventures. After realizing how much time he was spending and how much fun he was having filming as an amateur, he decided to step up, do further research on techniques and editing and purchase a professional-grade film camera. The business kicked-off in spring 2010. And, as the name implies, his focus is adventure in the outdoors. “I like action. I think video really captures what’s going on,” said Miller. “I want to capture the experience as it is.”
His early professional work over the summer ran from adrenalineinduced action to the calm and serene. Miller posts sample of his work on a Facebook page for OAV - at http:// www.facebook.com/oavideo. In June, he captured a successful, guided Walleye fishing trip for a local lodge. On the Fourth of July, he filmed the perennially popular local fireworks display over the river. Later in the summer, motocross engines roared at the Thunder Ridge MX Park south of Reliance, and Miller was there to film it, too. Quiet summer nights found him escaping to the draws along the river to spy on local wildlife, including a flock of wild turkeys and whitetail bucks who roam the river bluffs. He even helped out two young, talented high school golfers by filming
their swings to analyze in slow-motion film. He sees his hobby-turned-business as a way for outdoor adventurers - like himself - to document their time

in the field or on the lake. Miller understands the excitement to be had during a hunting or fishing trip. Before turning his video hobby into a business, he spent countless hours filming his own deer hunts as a bow-hunter - which has become his equipment of choice in addition to his Canon HD video camera. While the business is still relatively fresh, local guide operations and tourismrelated businesses have looked to his work to help promote their services. He sees it as just a starting point. Miller’s aim, however, is on capturing the high-points of hunting and fishing trips for clients, who then take home highlights of the trip as a collection on HD DVD. Why just tell the story of
an amazing hunt, when you can share it with friends and family on video? For past 13 years, Miller has taught high school biology in Lower Brule. He holds a Bachelor’s degree from Augustana College, Sioux Falls, and a Master’s from South Daktoa State University, Brookings. Outside the classroom, he is an outdoorsman - like many who live in the Chamberlain/Oacoma area. But, rather than waiting for hunting seasons to come around every year for his best shots, he can get his best shots - on film - any time of year to remember for years to come. To contact Outdoor Adventures Videography, email fishmor@hotmail.com or call (605) 730-3153.

Culture, Outdoor Pursuits
Await on the Missouri River
A
trip to Brule County in southeastern South Dakota brings you to three unique towns, Pukwana, Kimball and Chamberlain. Known for its picturesque location next to the Missouri River, Brule County is a unique region attracting a wealth of visitors each year. Chamberlain, the largest community in Brule County, hosts several notable sites of interest. At Saint Joseph’s Indian School, visitors may tour the Akta Lakota Museum and Cultural Center. Akta Lakota is a living museum, which means contemporary Native American art can be viewed along with the artifacts of the past. A unique selection of specialty items honors the history, art and culture of the Lakota Sioux peoples. “People who come to see the Akta Lakota Museum get to see firsthand how the Native Americans of the past and present live,” said Dixie Thompson of the St. Joseph’s Indian School. “It helps them to understand the community and how it came to be.” For additional information on cultural programs call 800-798-3452 or email aktalakota@stjo.org. Visit the South Dakota Hall of Fame in Chamberlain and discover the people of South Dakota honored for making lasting contributions to the future of the state. The South Dakota Hall of Fame is a non-profit, non-governmental organization recognizing South Dakotans who stand above the rest. The museum is free to the public and offers experiences such as the Wells Fargo Theater, interactive computers, Native American artifacts and other
Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center in Chamberlain gives visitors the opportunity to re-construct the Lewis and Clark Expedition.

displays. For more information, please call (800) 697-3130 or (605) 234-4216 or email info@sdhalloffame.com. Just down Interstate 90 about 20 miles, visitors will discover the South Dakota Tractor Museum in Kimball. The museum houses a collection of historic tractors and other restored farm machinery. Tour the museum and find a classic windmill, a one-room country school, a blacksmith shop and a barn holding horse-driven farm equipment. Chamberlain-Oacoma is a beautiful location that was once a resting spot for Lewis and Clark. While here you can take advantage of the Information Center located on I-90, which offers a visual story of their exploration. A stop at the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center in Chamberlain gives visitors the opportunity to re-construct the Lewis and Clark Expedition by way of interpretive panels and murals. Get a scenic view of the Missouri River and
the ChamberlainOacoma community from a replica 55-foot keelboat. On the north ridge of Chamberlain there is a walking/bike trail at Roam Free Park. The trails are ideal for exploring the natural grasses and wildlife along the river and also provide you an opportunity to take in our breathtaking sunsets. Outdoor enthusiasts will marvel at the many hunting and fishing opportunities. Whether you are hunting for deer, game birds or antelope it will not take you long to conclude that you have come to the right spot. Our walleye fishing is said to be the best in the state and is a hot spot for many fishing tournaments every year.
