Northwest Game Recipes
From Harvest to Preparing Wild Game for theTable
There is a large selection of wild game recipes available in cookbooks but quality and taste of the final dish is dependent on how the meat was managed beginning at the time of harvest and during processing steps prior to cooking. Proper handling of wild game before cooking is equally as important as selecting the best recipe. This website contains over 130 recipes and discusses a number of important topics relating to:

Nutrition Species In addition to containing many game recipes, this is a "how to" site for young and new hunters/fishermen who want to know some basics on what to do from the time the game is harvested to the time it is consumed. It covers all types of game including big game, upland game, migratory waterfowl, fish and shellfish that are typically harvested in the Northwest. The site includes a brief history of wild game in the Northwest. The website also contains numerous excerpts from the Lewis and Clark Journals (1804 - 1806) which provides a perspective on subsistence living with total dependency on harvesting wild game. Even though their mission was to explore and document the northwest, their day-to-day focus was on obtaining sufficient food to support the 30 man discovery team. At times they found this to be very difficult.Capt. Lewis

The hunters killed three buffaloe today which were in good order. the flesh was brought in dryed the skins wer also streachedfor covering our baggage. we eat an emensity of meat; it requires 4deer, an
 Elk and a deer, or one buffaloe, to supply us plentifully 24 hours. meat now forms our food prinsipally as we reserve our flour parched meal and corn as much as possible for the rocky mountains which we are shortly to enter, and where from the indian account, game is not very abundant.*
