Hunters wives recipes?

I don't have any recipes right on hand, I generally cook game meat the same way I cook any other meat. But here is something you may find helpful. If the meat tastes too gamey, marinate the meat in butter milk to remove the blood from the meat and then marinate in whatever you generally use. It helps cut down on some of the gamey taste of the animal he bagged was older...

Actually, I just remembered a Cajun style rabbit recipe I have cooked before

Also a very good game recipe blog is

In fact every recipe I have tried on here is delicious. ... Good luck cooking

Oh Lucky you! And venison and other game meats can be so healthy and low fat! I hope some good recipes pop up here. I do a similar thing and just substitute deer or other for beef or pork and move ahead... I used to make a mean schnitzel but the frying had to stop... so no more of that!

Just did some venison and bear in a skillet with lots of butter and onions. Not much else needed! I love having a hunter, my freezer is always full!

Roasts in the crock pot with a can of cola work well. My guess is if you google it lots of recipes will pop up also

My paternal grandfather used to hunt a lot and I remember having some venison sausage that was actually really good. My sister's husband hunts a lot and I know she makes lots of jerky with her food dehydrator.

Well for starters send said hunters wife out hunting with d*ck Cheney. after that, it's easy.

My dad wraps deer meat in bacon and marinates it over night in dale's sauce and then grills it. He does the same with turkey but marinates it in dr. pepper instead of dale's sauce. They are both really good.

My husband hunts a lot and while I don't want to hunt, I do go and deal with the pack horses because I am a horse trainer and my husband is not a fan of dealing with them. Plus, less hiking for him if I bring the horses in after he gets something. I also cook and deal with camp for the guys. I am not aginist hunting but I am aginist poching, not to mention if your boyfriend gets caught it's gonna mess up his life. The DOW is not nice about that, and they actually have the most power out of the law enforcment agencies so keep that in mind.

We never buy meat so I cook with a lot of game meat. I also love my crock pot so...but we dont' eat super healthy so my ways of cooking it may not work for you.

My favorite! Gound Elk/Deer/Moose Chili-I add beef broth to add extra flavor, brown the meat with oinion and garlic (lots in our house!), toss it in with a small can of tomato paste and a large can of whatever shaped tomato you like (crushed here). Then I add 1-2 can's of beef broth. My husband hates beans, but you can toss in canned (and rinsed) beans if you like. I use cumin, chili powder, and chyanne pepper to taste.

Any type of bird is good cooked in cream of mushroom soup, or other cream soups for that matter.

Grouse is good anyway you would cook chicken (baked, grilled, in fried rice, in strips, ect.) it looks like dark meat before cooking but is not. And it's good boiled in seasonings...we tend to end up boiling one in the seasoning from ramon noodles for dinner when we are up hunting...LOL

Dove or other dark meat birds is good marinated in italian dressing and then grilled...and possiably wrapped in bacon....LOL We do this for family events, small peices of dove marinated, then wrapped in bacon on a toothpick and grilled.

Deer makes good taco's (it covers up the mountian deer taste we get here), it's nice to not have to drain fat off!

I'm not a fan of deer crock pot roast (mountian deer is too strong) so I cut it up and make jerky (I also have about 5 pounds of elk right now to make into jerky in the smoker...so much work!). We also have antelope made into jerky because we don't like it otherwise. But if your a sausage fan it is good in that. It's got a goat taste for sure.

Steaks are good grilled, I never do much else with them. Marinade in coke (and/or beer) to tenderize and take out the game taste, then use worshire sauce while grilling, adding whatever seasoning you like.

Ground deer/elk/moose/ect. can also be made into hambugers and either grilled or pan fried with gravy, stroganoff, meat sauce for pasta, ect.

Wild hog is super good! Just like pork so it's easy to cook with.

You can also get deer bacon made, it's yummy baked with chyanne pepper.

When cooking it just make sure you don't burn it because it is so lean. Sometimes you can get it processed with a certian % of fat added (usually pork fat). And if your in a area where the wild game is very "gamey" then you will want to make more seasoned things with it. My husband went to WI to hunt a few years ago, and that deer was like beef, it's pretty much corn fed up there. Here in CO the big bull elk he got last year is better then beef! Which was suprising because he was a big old bull (huge a-typical rack! he's cool looking on my wall) and the last few years have been pretty dry here.

Anyways, enjoy it! It's good lean meat, and much healthier for you then conventionally raised meats. Not to mention, cheaper! I always have a deep freezer full of meat which is nice for peace of mind.

Any good ideas on how to cook stuff? ANYTHING, from deer, to fish, to dove, to duck, to anything. If you've had it, I've probably either had it or will soon... recipes would be appreciated.

Here's a tip for fish - keep it simple. Think fresh herbs inside the cavity, salt and pepper it up, then either steam, broil or bake it.

Don't overthink it, for many of the recipes can crossover - but just watch your timer - since you're a newbie, and most especially if he likes his steak rare.
