A great meal to celebrate a long day of of hunting, fishing and foraging.

In partnership with Camp Chef, country music artist and aspiring wild game chef Justin Adams joined a couple of friends from the NWTF for a weekend of celebrating wild foods and the life-changing power of the outdoors.


Here is the hunt, fish and forage in photos:
