Told you I was going somewhere new in 2016. Welcome to the first episode of the Hunt Gather Talk podcast. I plan on publishing a new episode every week or so, on all sorts of topics that have to do with wild food, current events in that world, interviews with other fish, game and foraging experts, tips and tricks and techniques for wild foods, and, in this first episode, I answer reader and listener questions.
In this episode I talk about hanging game birds, gathering seaweeds, making venison stock with deer bones, and storing fresh fish for optimum flavor.
For more information on some of these topics, you can go to these articles of mine:

Just got the announcement that you’re reviving the podcast and thought I’d catch up on the original series. You put out some great information here and, if this is any indication of what to expect from the rest, I am anxious to listen to them.
I listened to you talk on The Hunt Backcountry Podcast and wanted to let you know I really enjoyed it. I am a hunter, fisherman, forager for wild mushrooms, and I process and cook my harvests myself. I consider myself a decent cook (at least I don’t flip steaks with a fork), but am by no means a chef; I learned so much in just an hour of listening. It was great to get a little insight into your world and experiences. I am even more excited for the upcoming hunting season because I want to try out some of the tips I picked up from you. I look forward to digging into your website and reading your books. Thanks again from a fellow hunter and food lover.
My wife and I are getting into self-sufficiency, farming, foraging and all the fun stuff that goes with that(including bee keeping, which is a blast!). Heard about your blog on one of Francis Lam’s Splendid table episodes and came directly to see what you were all about. I’m super excited to hear what you have to say and to try out some of your recipes. I like your style!
Started going through your podcasts and have found everyone so far to be more than worthwhile. In this one your explanation of why we have to keep fish colder than game makes so much sense! Never thought about that before.
Any chance of “Hunt Gather Talk” being added to Tunein Radio?
Jason: What is Tunein Radio?
NICE Hank! I’ve been out of the country without interne access so I was just able to check out this first episode today. Looking forward to listening to the others. Learned some new things.
Listened to the first three podcasts, they are very informative. I am looking forward to listening to more.
I fired up my Stitcher app right away to listen – very enjoyable and informative. Answering questions is a great way to go.

Great pod cast! We just made a big pot of bone broth from some ducks! Good stuff…. I am disappointed that I tossed the large bones from this years deer… Ugh!
Looking forward to buck buck moose.
Listening Now! Awesome stuff!

Listened to it last night. Great stuff. Really looking forward to the future episodes.
Is there a specific place to post questions? Or just anywhere on the website or on your twitter feed?
Hey Hank,
The Podcast is a great idea, and I guarantee that I will be regular listener.
I have wanted to ask you about seaweed since I read about it on your site here and then in your book. Since it came up in your first episode, this seems like a good spot to ask. My question is; does your advice apply only to salt water seaweed or can fresh water vegetation be eaten as well? If so, where would you start with the fresh water stuff?
Thanks, and keep up the good work!
Rob
Rob: Yep. My knowledge is for saltwater seaweeds, not freshwater aquatics. I know of no freshwater plants that are good to eat except for wapato shoots. I just wrote a post on them, too.
Hey Hank,
Enjoyed the first podcast. Looking toward to future episodes. All of the tips and advice are used in my days outdoors.
Thanks!
Adam
Thanks for your hard work & dedication Hank! Your knowledge & info will help us all become better at something we need to be better at…harvesting & cooking our wild bounty! Best wishes!
Awesome! Enjoyed the first show Hank! Keep ’em coming
Loving the podcast. I have been a reader for a few years now and I’m so excited to be able to listen on the road now too! Looking forward to a kelp pickle recipe.
Thanks for everything, Hank! (especially your Barbacoa recipe 🙂 )
Will Horowitz owner and chef at Duck’s eatery would be the perfect guest
Nicely done, moves right along! And even as someone who doesn’t fish or hunt, it’s great information for use down the road!
Excellent stuff Hank. Of all the fish I’ve caught it’s never occurred to me that cold to me might not be cold to the fish 🙂 I’ll have to change my plan of attack next time I catch some ice fishing.
YYYYYEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!!
Thanks for doing this. Keep up the awesome work and thanks for making this world more accessible to curious, but inexperienced folk like me. Can’t wait for your new book!
Really a great show. The timing on this is awesome!
We are waiting too. Summer Duckshooting starts here in February. More game to cook.
So excited to listen to this! I think I like your new direction . . .
This sounds great, Hank. I can’t wait to see where this goes.
