About the Book This book was created to help fill a void in the preparation and cooking of wild game. I got very tired of eating the same old thing every hunting season and when eating at someone else's home. Many cookbooks only have maybe one or two recipes on venison, and nothing on many of the other critters that scurry about in the forest. After all our forefathers ate them, why not us too?

About the Author

At the time of submission I have been in the US Army for 23 years as an Airborne Ranger Infantryman; I've been all over the world and eaten cuisine from every country I have visited, even Afgahanistan. I am a member of the NRA and have been an avid hunter for at least 30 years. I believe in the right to bear arms and shoot the critters of the forest, so long as you eat what you kill. I do NOT believe in trophy hunting, and I use all the parts of the critters.

Introduction

Several years ago while enjoying a bountiful hunting season I noticed that all my friends made the same game dishes over and over. As you went from one friends house for dinner to another the next weekend, everyone cooked the same dish, the same way. So I started looking for recipes on ways to cook the animals that I hunt. My family and some close friends all had a wide variety of recipes, but never really ate them. So I gave them a try and started to play with ingredients. Then I came across the mother load. My great grandmothers recipe box and a journal (in German) from my great great grandfather as he went across the west. It included some diagrams on different things to make, and a ton of notes on cooking the strange animals he shot and ate as he went westward from New York Amazingly enough, there was a black and white picture (print) that is somewhat faded and discolored, that shows him standing there with a traveling friend and my great grandfather as a boy, in his arm is a rifle (a Swiss Vetterli Model 1869/71) and 5 deer hanging from a limb. Today, I have the exact rifle, his handwritten journal, and the photograph. Amazing that it has all survived this long.

In case your wondering - none of it is for sale.
