deer on the living room table

When I came home there was a dead deer on my living room table (yes I was shocked because it didn't belong there) and my husband was looking at it holding a knife. He didn't look so sure what to do. I got this book from the library which explains in very detailed pictures how to "disect" the animal. It worked so great I bought him the book for xmas and we have used it several times for deer, turkey and the great recipes.

The best on the subject

The photo of the vension roast on the cover make you wish you had a vension roast in the freezer for tomorrows dinner.The book has everything you need to know about getting the wild game from bagging it, dressing it out, hanging and aging, equipment you will need, do's and don'ts, and proper handling of wild game meat. Now this may sound like something anyone who hunts may know, but there is lot's of info even the long time hunter will find useful.One of the best pieces of information I found was his suggestion that we wear rubber gloves (like you use to do dishes) when dressing an animal out to make cleaning up easier. And he also covers issues like state laws i.e. some require proof of the animals gender to be visalbe and intact. If you have to ask what this means, go ask you parents !The recipes are awesome and cover birds, rabbits, deer, elk etc. This is not only a great book to own but to give as a gift.

A Real Wild Game Cookbook

The information on dressing wild game would be very useful to a novice hunter. I am a veteran hunter, and it is the recipes that I applaud. These are real wild game recipes, not chicken and beef recipes converted for use on game birds and venison. I have tried several of the recipes in the book and every one I tried produced gourmet results. We especially like the Basque Pheasant and Pheasant Pot Pie. The color photos would make even a vegetarian's mouth water.

Excellent Guide for the Novice or Seasoned Sportsman

I have been using this guide to Dressing & Cooking Wild Game for several years. I bought it when I was first starting hunting big game to assist me with dressing and preparing the meat for storage or cooking. The detailed photos and descriptions helped guide this novice through the processing of Wild Game by showing many tricks I would never have found on my own. Birds, small and big game, field dressing, to cooking, to the table. This guide is a must for any sportsman's library. AND IT HAS SOME GREAT RECIPES AS WELL.

Wonderfully creative game cookbook for all experience levels

Not only does this cookbook give valuable tips on the handling of game in the field and while butchering, it gives great recepies for the kitchen. All of the pages are filled with very useful photos. This book can be usefull to a hunter of any level of experience.
