Hey there, Wisconsin! Joel's back from Spain, but his voice might still be across the Atlantic. In addition to sampling local cuisine that gets us salivating, Joel went hunting. Because of course he did. He hunted a Beceite Ibex, a truly remarkable animal with majestic horns. And an animal not typically hunted for food in Spain- at least not for humans. That is, until Joel went and made the best damn enchiladas his guides had ever tasted with the meat from the animal he killed. Now just wait,

Bee Frederick, governmental liaison for Safari Club International joins the Raised in Wisco team to talk non-partisan advocacy for hunting and fishing. Finding common ground is easy when the ground is a table and there is food on that table for everyone. That's a guiding principle of Raised in Wisco. We may not all be hunters or fishers. We may not all be outdoor enthusiasts. One thing we all share in common though: each of us eats. And most of us enjoy eating. Whether you enjoy the whole food

Wisconsin, in mere hours, it is going to be early goose and Teal duck season. Joel is quick to remind us however, that the hunting season has actually already begun- because SO much of hunting happens before you pull the trigger. It starts with building relationships with land owners and conservationists, scouting locations for future hunts, and obtaining gear and learning how to use it.
