We'll be getting the rest on the way over the next day or two. Thanks for everybody's patience. They were supposed to be here 9 days ago, but between the weather and other shipping delays... The driver who delivered him says there's a shortage of drivers in his particular company, which he claims is partly due to younger guys not wanting to get into it.

Don't know where you saw that--though the first printing's arrival was delayed by nine days, due to the trucking shortage that seems to be affecting a lot of the country, plus some earlier-than-usual winter weather. Our printer loaded the order on a truck on October 28, which as supposed to arrive her on November 1st--but they didn't arrive until the 9th.

A woman from Washington state called yesterday, who was worried about the copy she ordered, because it needed to be there by Wednesday, the 23rd. Eileen looked up the tracking number, which said it was expected to arrive on Monday. The predicted time of arrival with the standard media-mail shipping we include in the prices listed on www.riflesandrecipes.com is generally accurate. But it of course also depends on when the book was mailed, and there were so many pre-orders that it took 4-1/2 days to package and ship them. And of course the farther the book's destination from Montana the longer it takes. “Montana seems to me to be what a small boy would think Texas is like from hearing Texans.” John Steinbeck

The question is, how did you prepare the antlers? Braising would seem the logical way, but Dad taught us that antlers make poor gravy, so... Inquiring minds want to know.

Eileen reminded me that she did the same thing in her big game cookbook Slice of the Wild, but of course the tabs were different: Field to Gambrel, Gambrel to Table, and rather than separating elk from deer, or deer from antelope she set tabs for Tender, Tougher, Stew and Burger, Grill, Fry, Cover & Cook. Three tabs per recipe page, and her favorite tab—Rogue’s Gallery. That’s photos of individual game animals we took, with details on weather, how we handled them, how they tasted. She wanted an assortment of conditions and animals, and had a lot of fun looking through our photo files remembering those hunts, and dinners, including the time she killed a nice tender muley buck and it froze overnight. Lots of details on what can go wrong and what you can and can’t control and how the cook deals with it. “Montana seems to me to be what a small boy would think Texas is like from hearing Texans.” John Steinbeck
