  • Excellent Resource
If you're looking for easy to prepare but delicious new recipes for preparing your wild game, and could also use a reference for processing your meat anywhere from skinning in the field to wrapping up specific cuts of meat, I cannot recommend this book enough. I've tried most of the recipes and me and my family and friends have yet to be disappointed. In fact, after trying a new recipe, the reaction is typically, "Wow! That's amazing!" all around the table, even from people who aren't typically fans of eating wild game. The text is explanatory and straightforward. There's no fluff, and the author clearly has experience with all of the topics covered in this book. There are also plenty of clear, full-color photos not just for showing off the recipes, but for showing you unmistakably where and how, for example, to cut and wrap a bottom round or a rack of ribs. The book also covers, in a very graspable, non-scientific way, topics like aging meat. There are OTHER books that will get you down "in the weeds" if you want to read chapter after chapter about the exacting details of butchery or the minutiae of what's going on at the molecular level when aging meat in various conditions. However, if you just want to do it and do it right the first time with a solid, basic understanding of what to do, and get some amazing new recipes for your wild game, this book is definitely for you. ... show more

  • Fantastic meat cookbook
Been using this cookbook for a few years, primarily using the big game and rabbit recipes. Has great diagrams and basic how-tos on cooking and cleaning game. I have tried several of the recipes exactly and am never disappointed, and I have used many more of the recipes as a template for my own creations with varying degrees of success. A few of these (especially the bbq style rabbit dish) have become my favorite dishes to cook. Also, these dishes don’t have to be for the specified meat. I have done all sorts of variations and have used domestic game instead of wild at times. There is a good variety of recipes and all sorts of interesting meat types included. Highly recommend this book. ... show more

  • very good for newbie
I'm a newbie at harvesting my own meat. This book is just great. The photos are outstanding. I just wish they would have shown some more "sub-steps" in the process. Perhaps I am wrong, maybe it's really easy and any "sub-steps" would have been a waste...maybe it's just easy and makes sense when actually doing it. So what I'm saying is that I don't quite have the authority to be quoted on this subject. ... show more

  • A solid cookbook with a wide variety of recipes.
To be 100% frank, I've only used a handful of recipes from this book and all of them have been on mule deer venison. That being said, all of the recipes I have used have been first rate. My wife used to turn her nose up at venison and couldn't stand the strong gamey smell (admittedly, I was overcooking it but have since learned better). With a bit more practice at cooking venison and using the recipes out of this book, she did a complete 180. She was genuinely disappointed when we ran out of venison as she became addicted to some of the recipes found in this book. She no longer asks why I bother going deer but instead encourages me to go hunting so she can get her fix! The various how-to sections (knife sharpening, field dressing wild game, etc) may also be appreciated by new hunters. ... show more

  • Everything I was hoping for
This book is fantastic, I have always been a small game hunter and am branching out into upland birds, this book provides detailed instructions on how to field dress and process game of all shapes and sizes. The recipes in back don't look half bad either. I would recommend this for someone who is new to hunting as a guide or for seasoned hunters to keep around as a reference. Either way, it's a great book that is full of useful information. ... show more

  • Just So You Know !
I purchased the books "The Wild Butcher From Field to Table and "Dressing and Cooking Wild Game". Both books are excellent when it comes to pictures of "How To", from field dressing to actually cutting and butchering the meat of any game animal. There is a lot of information for processing the meat you hunt and a lot of pictures to show you how. The problem with me was, both books duplicated each other on content and pictures but not necessarily the same page numbers. These two books mirror each other on their content. Save yourself some money and either buy one or the other. They're both the same,both excellent choices, both published by Creative Publishing International. I'm giving one of the two to my son for his reference! ... show more

  • Wild Game Cookbook
About thirty years ago my husband borrowed a book from a friend of his to copy an article on how to field dress wild game. There were pictures in this article as well as headings on the various sections of the process. I Googled one of these specific titles and was able to locate the exact book that had been borrowed 30 years earlier. We will use this book as a reference as well it is a fabulous cookbook for many years to come! ... show more
