The First Week of Hunting Season at Glen Dene Hunting and Fishing
The first week of hunting season at Glen Dene Hunting and Fishing has been nothing short of excellent. With clear skies and warm weather, conditions were ideal for both hunters and wildlife. Our team has been busy guiding clients through the breathtaking landscapes of Lake Hawea, leading to some truly memorable harvests.
The stags and elk taken this week boasted incredible racks, a testament to their maturity and the thriving ecosystem that supports them. Thanks to a summer rich in excellent feed, the animals were in prime condition, ensuring not only impressive trophies but also top-quality meat for the table.
From Field to Table
Beyond the excitement of the hunt, the real work begins with breaking down the harvested meat. Our guides were hands-on throughout the process, ensuring every part of the animal was put to good use. Clients enjoyed the freshest cuts of venison and elk during their stay, prepared to highlight the natural flavours of the meat.
There’s something truly special about sitting down to a meal that tells the full story of a successful hunt—one of respect, sustainability, and appreciation for nature.
For those taking meat home, we carefully prepared prime cuts for transport. Any portions not taken were butchered to share with our staff and within our community. Our team takes great pride in ensuring that every harvest serves a greater purpose, contributing to the well-being of others while minimizing waste.
A True Nose-to-Tail Approach
In keeping with our commitment to using every part of the animal, we processed off-cuts from the shoulders, legs, and neck into ground meat, perfect for hearty casseroles and burgers. The prized backstrap and tenderloins were trimmed to remove any sinew, ensuring they were ready for the grill. There’s no better way to end a successful week than with a lakeside summer barbecue, enjoying the fruits of our labour under the open sky.
As the season continues, we look forward to welcoming more hunters to Glen Dene, sharing in the adventure, and celebrating the traditions of ethical hunting. Stay tuned for more updates as the season progresses!
