I know what you’re thinking: “Badger Potstickers?!” But don’t worry, they’re easy to make. The hard part is hunting the badger.

Kids love to do hobo dinners because they make their own and they eat it out of the foil it cooked it. It feels really rustic. And when they caught their own meat, that’s even better!

This sauce is flavorful and spicy and a little sweet. Use it on any red meat to finish the flavor. I used it here on backstops from last year’s cow elk. It would also be excellent on a roast.

If you’ve eaten Butter Chicken at an Indian restaurant, then this dish will be familiar. Butter Bear is rich and creamy, and simmering any meat in this sauce for a while will make it tender and delicious.

There’s no denying: An excellent breakfast sandwich will take you a long way up a mountain before you stop for lunch or stop to process the critter you just killed. McDonald’s has a good handle on the system, but you can easily do better with quality meat, egg, and cheese.

I continually hear from many people that insist that wild boar is inedible. I shouldn’t be surprised, though: I’ve been told that all the other “boars” are inedible, too.

Bone broth is very simple to make and you can use it in all kinds of recipes that call for stock or broth.
