A variety of delicious recipes for elk, deer, and other wild game, contributed and compiled by the membership of the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation.


From the Back Cover
Ten years after the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation published its original Elk Hunter's Cookbook, the national conservation organization is bringing out this completely revised and expanded edition. With 275 recipes, all contributed by people who love elk and elk country, The New Elk Hunter's Cookbook and Meat Care Guide is one of the most comprehensive and informative books ever published for cooking with wild game meat. You'll find new ways to prepare steaks, roasts, chops, fillets, stew meat, and ground meat; learn how to make your own jerky and sausage; enjoy creating more than a dozen marinades; and even discover how to use the tongue, liver, heart, and neck.
The New Elk Hunter's Cookbook and Meat Care Guide isn't limited to just elk, deer, moose, and antelope, however. There also are recipes for bear, squirrel, rabbit, rattlesnake, alligator, dove, quail, grouse, pheasant, goose, duck, wild turkey, frog legs, salmon, northern pike, and trout, as well as beef, chicken, pork, and ham.
Inside you'll find delicious appetizers, hearty soups, simple backpacking fare, quick sandwiches, and even fantastic dinner entrees. For your elk camp or during the winter at home, an all-new chapter devoted to sixty Dutch oven and camp cooking recipes entices you to make such foods as Elk Grillade, Dutch Oven Lasagna, Taco Soup, Squirrel Stew, Sociable Pinto Beans, Spicy Southwest Potatoes, Old-Fashioned Corn Bread, and John Woodman's Cake.
Nine essays by longtime hunters and game cooks will teach you: New strategies for field care of meat; how to build your own smokehouse; the advantages of dry aging; the fundamentals for ensuring better-tasting meat; how to prepare meals, eat well, and stay healthy in elk camp; butchers' trade secrets about elk hunting and field dressing; how to use a Dutch oven and much more
