This book is THE game cookbook. Ever had anyone joke about eating 'possum? The recipes are here! There are recipes for all game animals/birds, fish and many non-game species. It is well written and, at nearly 500 pages, is a must for anyone who might be in the position to cook the ordinary as well as the unusual.
It contains info on game preparation such as filleting, butchering, smoking, grilling, and more. It provides info about the game you are cooking and even describes how to determine the age of the game you are about to prepare!
The authors experiences are shared and fun to read. Think of this book as the gold standard and the litmus test to which all others must pass.

I have many shelves full of cookbooks, including many on wild game. But if I could only keep one book this would be it. This book is the best. I have owned this book since early 1984; it is now dog eared and marked up with comments from the dozens of recipes I have tried. Not only does it give you the best cooking methods for wild game (deer, duck, woodcock, antelope, snipe, etc), but also the accompaniments to go with them (wild rice, braised cabbage, etc) and recipes for camp or field (bannock bread, jerky, etc). If you treasure the sporting life, buy this book.

I have a rather large cookbook collection (over 500) but if I had to narrow it down to three (there's no way I could only save 1!) This would be one of the first I would grab. The other 2 would be the Better Homes & Gardens "New Cook Book" and as many of the Frugal Gourmet (Jeff Smith) books I could grab; especially, "The Immigrant Ancesters" cookbook.
I have used this book SO many times. From Quail to goose to ice cream made with snow.
Awesome book with great reading.

If you hunt, fish, or know someone to does, this is a wonderful book
Cooking game is a different "kettle of fish" (sorry). Cooking wild game is a challenge and often results in wasted meals. Read more

A bit fancy
I tried a recipe with 2 types of alcohol.....a bit too much. I will try the recipe again without the brandy and hope for better results.

Love to cook wild game
very good cookbook. It has all the basics and some ideas I had not seen before. I'm fairly picky when it comes to cooking so 3 stars is good from me.

Yum!
I love this book. It's a great read, and has some superb recipes. It's not your basic, redneck chicken-fried steak type of book - rather, it approaches the meals from a gourmet,... Read more
