I took this raccoon roast to Sunday Dinner at a friend’s house. 16 people ate it and they all agreed that it tasted like a beef roast — what do you expect when it eats the same things as cows each day?

Simple Gourmet: Smoked Summer Sausage with Bear Meat
BY Levi Sim Updated: July 4, 2022This summer sausage recipe is ideal for all those animals whose steaks are less delicious than you’d hoped. You can make as much as you like and store it in the freezer. It makes excellent sandwiches and terrific low-carb meals with cheese. Serve it at the Super Bowl party with cheese and crackers. And it’s a must-have for all your upcoming hunts this year. These sausages are a terrific way to share game meat with first-timers. It tastes like sausage and doesn’t have any particularly wild flavors. Friends will see that wild meat taste good.
Simple Gourmet: Bear Stroganoff with Wild Mushrooms
BY Levi Sim Updated: June 6, 2022This recipe is seriously hearty and the perfect thing after a long day hunting. Stroganoff is credited as being a Russian dish, and I gotta believe making it with bear meat is more Russian than using beef. Plus, you gotta save the cows to make all the sour cream you’re going to need.
Simple Gourmet: Tenderizing Rock Chucks, Wild Turkeys, etc.
BY Levi Sim Updated: May 2, 2022All animals produce tough meat. Somewhere on every animal will be a cut, or many cuts that are just not easy to eat by grilling on a hot flame.
Simple Gourmet: Peanut Butter-Fried Rabbit
BY Levi Sim Updated: January 3, 2022This 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
BY Levi Sim Updated: November 1, 2021It’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
BY Jake Wallace Updated: October 4, 2021Following my last article about squirrel hunting, I received several requests for a recipe for cooking up these tasty little tree dwellers. So, I have decided to post one of the tried-and-true favorites in my house, Squirrel Tamales.
Simple Gourmet: Perfect Wild Game Steak with Garlic Butter
BY Levi Sim Updated: September 6, 2021Our 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.
