Recipe

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.

Following 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.

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.

Bear Bombs are a shoo-in crowd pleaser. These hot little packets of flaky dough are a favorite for everyone. Kids will eat anything wrapped in bread, and you can stuff them with a variety of flavors.

Life is busy which makes it difficult to take time to eat well. Well, here’s an easy way to prepare game meat that is also easy to love. You can grab frozen meat before work and it’ll be ready to eat when you get home.

Melted cheese, crispy hash browns, rich eggs and wild turkey sausage make this dish a favorite in camp. But don’t wait to cook this over a fire — my family loves it so much we eat it for dinner at least once a month.

Cougar, mountain lion, puma, catamount, painter — whatever you want to call it, if you get a text from a buddy who guides hunts for Felix concolor that reads, “Do you want a mtn lion backstrap?” you should answer affirmatively, and then beg for the hams, too.

If they hunted bears in China, this might be how they’d eat it…or at least, if bear was on the menu at Panda Express, this is how it would be served. Bear meat goes so well with sweet recipes, and this one works well to tenderize even the toughest cuts.

Who doesn’t enjoy corned beef for St. Patrick’s Day? Especially when it seems like winter is dragging. Making it with your game meat is another great way to share your hunting experiences.
