Animal hunters are not the only ones who can enjoy the hunt. Some areas offer guided tours of the local scenery with specific interest in what foods are available for cooking and eating. Even tours of the local scenery can yield some great finds if enough care is given to the details of the tour. Most interesting, some hunting guides are willing to take vegetarians along on a hunt in order to show where the best foods are. There are some simple tips you should consider when you are planning such a tip.
Make sure you do some research into the local foods to see what is available. You want to do at least some cursory research into local regulations, as some items may be protected due to endangered status or other legal reasons, in order to make sure you aren't picking something that can get you into trouble.If you are crossing state lines, you may want to look into limitations when it comes to foods that can enter or leave the applicable states. You also want to look into local cookbooks that take advantage of the local fauna as well so that way you have something you can do with your harvest once you return home.
You also want to look into the reputation of the guide or guides that will be taking you on that trip. As part of that background check you will want to check with local cooks and well-known vegetarians; heck, you may want to start with them in order to get a list of great guides. Once you have a list of guides you can pare them down based on availability and cost. You can set any other criteria based on whatever relevant factors you may consider, such as those that farm the specific items you are looking for or if the person has a reputation for vegetarian-friendly tours. You just want a guide you like and who can get you what you are looking for.
A harvesting trip may sound like a weird excuse for a trip, but it can provide an excellent excuse for a vacation. Finding the wild truffle may sound like a mild walk in the woods, but sometimes it can make a great excuse for a day trip or even a week in a great location; nothing let's you experience the local scene like looking for local foods and seeing how they are prepared. Hunting for your own food also adds to the taste, and provides a link to our ancient gathering ancestors, making it a great way to get back to your roots. Plan your trips now; you want to harvest the food when it is ripe enough to be harvested for its best taste.
