I'm not a big wild game eater but that's not because I don't like it or have access to it. My brother and brother-in-law are huge wild game hunters and often offer me wild game. In the past, I turned it down more often than not...until now.

You see, the reason I've never really got into consuming wild game was because I didn't know how to prepare it. Thanks to "The Complete Wild Game Cookbook" I've now got 165 different recipes to tantalize our taste buds.

This enticing & informative cookbook explains, from forest to table, how to make the most of wild game.

In addition to the 165 recipes, it features tips on preparing and cooking game, and the details on the different species available throughout North America.
