Whether you refer to them as “jamborees,” “fisherees,” or something else, ice fishing tournaments are a major part of outdoor life in Wisconsin.

In the early 1990s, Wisconsin ranked No. 20 among all states in public land access, with over 18 percent of its total land open to hunting, fishing, hiking, etc.

For the last two decades, my family has made an annual trek to Vilas County for a summer fishing trip.
When you add in the numerous spring walleye trips my dad and I have taken throughout the years, I have become quite familiar with the area, especially North and South Twin Lakes.
I have spent many hours relaxing on the roughly 3,500 acres of water in the Twin Lakes chain, nestled between the tiny towns of Conover and Phelps, and the land that surrounds it.
Seemingly everyone in Wisconsin has their own definition of “up north” but, for me, this is it.

Before you say anything, you’re right. This venison cheesesteak slider isn’t a typical “Philly Cheesesteak.” That’s by design. Because there is no way they are serving up hot deer sandwiches this good in Pennsylvania.
My wife Lyza had the idea of using our leftover reverse-seared venison steaks for sandwiches. Now, we will be cooking venison steak for the sole purpose of making these beautiful, toasty treats.
