Plan a week's menu, using only wild game

Postby WapitiTalk1 » 12 06, 2015 •  [Post 1]

For the purposes of the ultra scientific query (grin), let's say you must throw in one fish species and one bird species with the others. Yes, you can repeat an item but only once. Me? I'd say that if I had the opportunity to plan a week's meals with seven different wild game entries, I'd probably go with something like:

Monday - Elk
Tuesday - Moose
Wednesday - Coho (Silver) Salmon
Thursday - Turkey
Friday - Elk
Saturday - WT Deer
Sunday - Caribou

Honorable mentions... wild pig, brook trout, bison

This should be fun... let's hear yours :D

posted under roast recipes


Italian Pot Roast Slow Cooker
I use the round roast from the center of a whitetail ham.
Sear roast on all sides first in cast iron
Place roast in slow cooker and add 16 oz of beef broth
I package of lipton onion soup mix sprinkled over roast
2 to three medium yellow onions quartered
Italian seasoning to your taste (two to three good shakes)
cook 8 hours. Remove roast.
add 1/2 to 3/4 lb small fresh whole mushrooms & 1 8 oz can tomato paste and 16oz can tomato sauce to remaining liquid (you may need to add more beef broth or water) and cook until mushrooms are done
serve sliced roast over rice or egg noodles topped with sauce

We eat mostly wild game, and what ever we have. Most years it is elk and goose fish some uplandand my daughters are big into crawdads

Burger anyway and steak is the easiest.

Smoked duck,.. yummy
Salmon and red trout, Baked with Sour cream,mayo, lemon pepper and onion,..

We eat quite a bit of game as well, but mostly fish. It's fairly rare that I buy meat from the grocery and when I do it's a chicken or maybe a nice steak.

What's in my freezer now:

WT deer
Muley
Squirrel
Rabbit
Duck
Wild Hog
Quail
Dove
Gator
Fish ( Dolphin, Tuna, Swordfish, grouper, snapper, wahoo)
and Frogs! :D


No elk for me. :(
