One does not have to live through a day of waterfowl hunting on snack cakes, candy bars, apples, and jerky. I know cooking in the blind can be a full course meal as seen in some magazines, but here, we are talking about something good to eat, easy to pack in, easy to clean up and typically gets folks to ask for more.

Simple Gourmet: Peanut Butter-Fried Rabbit
This recipe is good for all kinds of small game that is fairly tender right away. Dove, chukar, pheasant, grouse, and rabbit are all good options. I wouldn’t use it on jackrabbits without tenderizing the meat first — brining would be a good option.

Simple Gourmet: Bear Ham Soup
It’s Fall, and there’s nothing like hot soup on a cold afternoon. If you made a ham from your Spring bear, or from any other critter you’ve brought home, this is a great way to use up the leftovers. Even leftovers from Sunday dinner with your pork-eating in-laws will work well.
Squirrel Tamales

Simple Gourmet: Perfect Wild Game Steak with Garlic Butter
Our elk and antelope steaks are richer and more satisfying than anything you can buy at a steak house. They’ve simply got more meat in every bite, not to mention all the microminerals we ingest by eating animals that graze on a variety of plants.
