What to know when butchering your deer

🥩 Ever wonder why removing the "silver skin" from your cuts of meat makes such a difference? That thin, shiny membrane might be holding onto the gamey taste we often try to avoid.

The silver skin is tough connective tissue that doesn’t break down during cooking—trapping strong, gamey flavors and making the meat chewy. By carefully removing it, you get a cleaner, milder, and more tender bite that lets the natural flavors shine.

Next time you prepare wild game, take the extra minute to peel off the silver skin. Your taste buds will thank you!

Fish for free day PA

This Sunday, May 24, the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) will host a Fish for Free day to allow anyone (resident or non-resident) to legally fish on all Pennsylvania waterways. No license is required, but all other fishing regulations still apply.

This is the first of two dates set by the PFBC to enhance fishing opportunities. The next day is Independence Day, Saturday, July 4. This is a great way to expose the next generation of anglers to the outdoors. More information about fishing in Pennsylvania is available at www.fishandboat.com

Starting Monday, May 18, spring gobbler hunting hours extend to one-half hour before sunrise until one-half hour after sunset.

Report your harvest within 10 days online at huntfish.pa.gov, by phone at 1-800-838-4431, or by mailing in a harvest card.

Hunters who purchased a second spring gobbler license have a mandatory reporting requirement regardless of whether they harvest a bird with this special license.

Local, state, and federal government websites often end in .gov. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania government websites and email systems use "pennsylvania.gov" or "pa.gov" at the end of the address. Before sharing sensitive or personal information, make sure you're on an official state website.
