Deb on horse back

Good friend Deb Vavra talks about hunting on horseback. David Sparks, Sportsman Spotlight. One of the advantages of horseback is you can go deep into the wilderness. Speaker2: And then the horse can help carry all that weight out. And horses are also really good about telling you if there's any predators nearby. They start sounding the alarm or they start showing signs of insecurity. And boy, you listen to that gut instinct that they have an okay time to go. Speaker1: So many valuable assets to having a horse on an elk hunt. Speaker2: Absolutely. Speaker1: And my guess is your dad being the outdoorsman, he was and you being the outdoors person you are, you certainly ate whatever you harvested. Speaker2: Oh, yes. The best elk. Oh, put a little sage in with the elk and make some sage sausage in the morning for with your eggs. And then you take all that meat and you do steaks. You can do stews. You can do all kinds of yumminess. In fact, I won't even eat hamburger. Speaker1: Because elk is so much better for you. Speaker2: It sure is. And I overheard somebody talking weeks ago that Arby's may be doing something with some elk meat in some of their menu options. That would be fantastic. Speaker1: Did a story on it. And yes, they are really they're doing like one part burger, one part elk. Think they've got some venison in there and they're calling it their wild game burgers. If there's an Arby's in your area, let me assure you, they've got the meat.
