The Jersey deer hunting season is closed now until September. I enjoyed many serene days in the woods and harvested five deer, donated two to "hunters helping the hungry" and another was split among some friends. Some were harvested off an organic farm property to prevent crop loss.

Setup camp out at Janack's Landing on Cranberry Lake with @groves_al
Fun day ice fishing a favorite pond with pro photographer and outdoorsman @gregkkoch
I found some ice in my home town and pulled up a few yellow perch aka golden crispies. Highly versatile, they can be pan- and deep-fried, baked, sautéed, poached, grilled or used in chowder. Avoid overcooking to keep the flesh moist. They have a mild flavor that's really tasty with minimal seasoning. My preference when pan frying while camping is to cook with the skin on for maximum meat but I just filleted these to fill a quart bag and put them in my freezer for another day.
Fresh article posted on @outdoorx4 magazine about my winter outings and I've got lots more all-season camping, canoeing, fishing content on my NatureIntoAction youtube channel. Thanks for all the subs and interest about these trips and grateful when I can pay for a tank of gas just by sharing what I enjoy doing.
Winter camp vibes at the end of the day. Multiple layers on, the stove starting up and a hot meal in the belly. With @nataliahubisz
