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.

And birds, also, with duck, goose, pheasant, partridge and quail among the most popular.
Reptiles, such as rattlesnake and iguana, as well as amphibians, like alligator and crocodile, are considered to be good eats by those who love American wild game cuisine too.

Love me some venison, yum! And I wouldn’t mind trying some of the other wild game meats, too – gonna show hubby the new page and see what he’d like me to whip up!
Tamika, your husband sounds like an excellent hunter, and you being a good cook make you two perfect for each other!
Glad you like the site, and please do come back often. The new wild game cuisine page is going to have MANY more recipes coming soon.
As my last name implies, I’m a hunter, lol. Stumbled across this post doing a Google search, and WOW, man! I gotta show this site to my wife, she’s an avid ethnic food cook, so she will go nuts with all these recipes.
Love the wild game recipes I saw so far, and will be back soon, since you say there are lots more coming.
Jonathan, you HAD to take up hunting with that last name, huh? lol
And please do come back often, we have LOTS more wild game dishes coming up, trust me.
My hubby loves to hunt, and almost always comes home from deer season with at least one buck. And I love to cook the venison which we both love to eat. So those venison pie and venison wellington recipes will help me reduce the capacity load of all the deer meat in our freezer, lol.
Great site, Marvin, I’m going to be a regular visitor, fosho!
