Very helpful

Is your husband a hunter and do you plan to fill your freezer with venison? You need at least one cookbook like this, because venison is not beef. My favorite is the venison peppercorn tenderloin. I use equal parts black, green peppercorns, and Montreal Steak seasoning and the minimum time and it is perfect every time. I won a wild game cooking contest with the recipe on page 87 for the jerked burgers with mango salsa.

The best cooking venison book I own

Growing up in a family that ate wild game and who knows that there is a good and a bad way to cook wild game this is a book that the novice and the old timer will love. Mainly because the recipes are wonderful and many are new as far as modern ingredients i.e. fruits and vegetables that go with wild game and for the novice it is wise to have a book that not only teaches the proper ways to dress a kill and handle and store it, but how not to cook it. I cannot tell you how often I have seen a beautiful piece if venison just taste awful or so tough you need a chain saw to cut it. This book will make that hard earned piece of meat melt in your mouth. Of course I love and own most of the books The Hunting & Fishing Library has produced. Need a great gift for the deer hunter (male OR female) in your life? This is it.

Excellent!

For this genre of book, the recipes are especially comprehensive with vivid color pictures complementing most dishes. The book is very well put-together. Every hunter's family (especially the wives) should greatly appreciate it.

superb presentation/content

The quality of this presentation is far above what one normally sees in "game" cookbooks. Lots of color pictures; all recipes tried so far are keepers. BTW: elk substitutes straight across in most of the recipes so its like two books in one.
