I was sitting here having some quail and wildrice and my wife asked me if I had offerred any quail (he left with me) to my brother in law. I said I told him to learn to cook.
So, how many of you cook?

Chuck,
I've always been a big fan of eating! That being said, I figured I'd need to learn to cook the fish and game I harvested after going off to college. I wasn't into junk food-plus a steady diet of junk food cut too much into the beer budget. Therefore, I taught myself, through recipes and experimentation how to cook!
After getting married at about 30 yrs of age, I soon realized that unless I wanted to eat beans and rice every meal, the only thing my wife cooked decently (being from Nicaragua), I'd better teach her to cook wild game and fish. It didn't take too long on that path to realize that I did a better job on the cooking duties than she did.
Although she has turned into a decent cook, I still do the majority of the cooking in our household.

I cook everything I shoot or catch ..... that I don't give away. It's one of the reasons my wife put's up with it all!

Bouvier's situation is very similar to mine. She's pretty good about eating the various critters I drag home but usually cons me into cooking it. I'm pretty easy.

Same as Bouvier but I started only this year as an old man. Results satisfactory and I look forward to next season.

Absolutely. It is fun and a great way to end it all.
Anyone have any favorite recipes or cookbooks?

My wife went back to work so I could retire early. I figured learning how to cook was the least I could do.

I cook because my wife is working(?) and I am retired. I cooked on fishing boats that I owned for years, unless I had a decent cook. I do cook any game that the dog brings home, providing it was legally shot. I enjoy the cooking when it is done right.
Currently own two Morgan cars. Starting on Black Powder hunting to advoid the mob of riflemen.

To me it is a dimension of having hunted. I enjoy cooking - in fact cook at least 8 meals a week in our home. I had trouble finding recipes for duck that the kids enjoy but eventually succeeded. Geese and upland game they relish. Wild game dinners with other hunters and their wives are somewhat of a contest to see who can outdo the other. Only those who shot the game are allowed in the kitchen. An opportunity for story telling and reliving the hunts.
