Michael Hunter, renowned wild game chef, visited the Mossy Oak camp for a few days and prepared some of his favorite meals using meat from our Gamekeeper Butchery. Among those was this bison tomahawk recipe cooked on the grill or over an open fire. It's safe to say that it's one of our favorite meals now, too.
