One of the “fruits of the hunt or the catch” is offering up a mouthwatering meal. Over the years, I have come up with several that I like, but I am always looking for more. Gary Howey, a friend of mine from Nebraska, who has carved out a career in the outdoor world with his Team Outdoorsmen Productions, has compiled a list of his favorite wild game/fish recipes in Outdoorsmen Adventures “Cooking Gone Wild” cookbook.

According to Howey, the cookbook is just in time for the holidays. “Recipes were gathered by our Team Outdoorsmen Adventures members as we traveled from Mexico, throughout the U. S. and Canada filming our television series. On these trips, we were introduced to some excellent meals, many of which are found in the cookbook. Others came from our viewers, radio program listeners and our readers.”

This 196 page hard-cover book is loaded with mouth-watering wild game recipes including Walleye, Bass, Panfish, Pike, Squirrel, Rabbit, Deer, Elk, Wild Boar, Bear, Pheasant, Grouse, Quail, Dove, Ducks, Geese, Turkey, ,Wild Edible recipes, Dutch Oven Cooking and much, much more. The recipes offer a variety of presentations from barbequing, grilling, baking, frying or braising.

Howey adds, “We’ve also hunting and fishing tips by our team members and National Fresh Water Hall of Fame member Larry Myhre, along with special artwork by Mark Anderson, the 2005-06 federal duck stamp winner.”

Autographed copies are available from Outdoorsmen Productions at 405 N. Broadway Box 354, Hartington, NE. 68739 for $14.99 and $5.50 for shipping & handling.
