Many Americans love to hunt. Rifle hunting, as well as bow and arrow seasons, are anticipated and participated in by millions of Americans. And wild game cuisine is, quite naturally, a considerably significant segment of North American cuisine in general.
The red meats of elk, moose, deer, bear, wild boar, etc., are prevalent in Wild Game cuisine. Small mammals are also hunted for wild game cuisine: rabbit, raccoon, squirrel, possum, beaver, etc.
