Wild Game Recipes:
Celebrate the Harvest!

Wild game recipes are sought after by many sportsmen families. Just because we kill or catch some of nature’s healthiest meat sources doesn’t mean we always know how to make it into a good meal. My family can put together some good entrées using elk or deer meat, but pheasant or quail? We need some help there!

Some of you may have some great fish recipes for those of us who catch trout in elk country, or some grouse recipes for those among us who kill grouse with a bow and arrow while hunting big game.

Speaking of grouse, the best I have found to do with fool hens is to cut them into “popcorn” size pieces and deep-fry them with a zesty batter! They’re just too tough for anything else we’ve tried.

Submit Yours!

Got any other ideas? Submit them all here. We’d like to make this page a one-stop shop for all kinds of wild game recipes. We’ll sort them out on this end into categories, as that becomes necessary.

Of course, any recipe used for domestic meats will work for wild game. Just remember that most wild game is lean, so dry cooking methods, or high heat can result in toughness. Other than that, your favorite meat or fish recipes will work just fine for wild game.

Read more about avoiding “gamey flavors” on our Elk Recipes page, the Field Dressing page and Cooling Big Game in the Field. You might be interested in our Grinding Meat page, if you want to do it yourself for Ground Wild Game Meat Recipes.
