When i'm in the mt...

I might be on a scouting trip for deer, bear, turkey, looking for sheds, mast , rattlesnakes whatever.

but i'm ALWAYS foraging....every trip.

Found some young tender chicken of the woods this morning (sulpher shelf)

Cut into small pieces, (about a good heaping handful), butter in pan, add some tender celery chunks, onion, thyme...saute' till tender (don't brown)

stir in some flour and a chicken boullion packet. Slowly add milk and wisp till it thickens....add some parsley, simmer on very low heat.

let it sit a bit to cool....

enjoy.

Sounds very good. I grew up trying everything at least once. Found some things may not smell so great but taste wonderful and visa versus. My wife won't try anything new except for something sweet. The first time I smelled gumbo cooking (down around Hitchcock Texas), I didn't want no part of it. But after some serious threats from my dad, I enjoyed 5 big bowls of it. I would definitely try yours, has everything in it to like. And yes, used to be on the ete out for anything good.

Same here. I don't go to the woods without watching for edibles. I picked these yesterday along the edge of a hay field behind the house. The wife has been baking with them today. She made muffins and tarts and still has a bunch left.

I'm hoping the rain coming this week will get the chanterelles growing.

I’ve been known to stop in the middle of an elk hunt to work over a patch of huckleberries.

Found these in turkey season and took a meals worth. First time for me. I made sure to get an experts opinion :)

Jeff raspberry pie or my grandmother would fix me a bowl with milk and some sugar

Shade I remember these sulfur shelf , just sauté till tender, that are very tender when young also, yum

Trail snacks!!

The woods offer plenty if you know what to look for. Been doing it ever since I was a kid.

Sometimes you don't have to venture too far...while my wife and I were staking out where to build our log house, she found wild strawberries all around the woods edge. The following spring, my sons collected a half bucket of morels. The following years kept us in strawberries but the morels were cycling so some decent years followed on and off then nothing.

The strawberries never got store size big but they were delicious providing we got them picked before the critters got to them.:)

I put up a near half mile field fence on my south property border.. some years later we had wild asparagus growing along it. My sons had picked some wild, as usual every year and planted a bunch along that fence...never told me. Good sons eh!

Wayne, that's my favorite way. I had some red raspberries and blueberries in milk with a little stevia about an hour ago.

Besides berries there's also a ton of edible greens out there, not the kind you would snack on immediately but put in your pack and take home and sauté

I have been foraging a long time. Almost every weed people try to get rid of on their lawn is edible.
