Different people have varying ideas of what fine dining is- just as some people find maximum pleasure in eating exotic meats and gourmet wild game dinners, other people are happy with and even prefer a more simple preparation of the meats they have hunted. Whatever your wild game cooking and/or game processing preferences, most can agree that it also comes with a satisfaction because you have provided and procured the game for yourself and your family. Wild game recipes are popular, many times the recipes are secretive, and often traded by hunters as well as by fine dining chefs. Eating wild boar is now considered a delicacy, and these days, many people are interested in using more wild foods in preparing meals with meat such as wild boar, turkey, rabbit, venison, etc... Whether that also includes wild-crafted edible greens, eating wild mushrooms (this should only be done by those who are very well educated in the identification of mushrooms as eating the wrong ones can be deadly- this is not an easy task and cannot be done by sight alone by those that do not have years of experience with wild mushrooms) or eating springtime wild onions and ramps and adding these ingredients into your wild game dinner- in many cases such foods are more nutritious than those farmed or grown domestically. For example there is a total lack of chemical herbicides, pesticides, or geneticly modified plants. The same can be said for the health benefits of eating wild game. Because wild animals are eating their natural diet, their nutritional profiles are much higher than animals that are fed limited diets of single grains and/or diets supplemented with foodstuffs that are unnatural to them. Many who are sensitive to the ethical complications of raising food animals also tend to be more comfortable to hunting animals that have lived out their lives in their natural habitats. Also hunting is an important part of population control for several types of animals like whitetail deer in the eastern US, for example.
For many people, the act of hunting and gathering their own food is an act that is important to them on a deep personal level as well as for necessity- not to mention it is extremely economical. Spending the time out in nature, participating directly in the food chain, the bond that comes from spending time with friends and/or family in such an activity- all of these feed the soul as well as the body. For some there is an element of heritage at play as well. Ancestors who hunted to feed their families, inheriting family hunting weapons, going on trips as a child and growing up a culture that appreciates and supports hunting is more than enough to instill a sense of self that includes hunting for food as a skill and hobby. For many, there is also a strong distinction between hunting for sport and hunting for food. Hunting for food is using the natural resources, resources that are renewable if hunters are careful only to take the appropriate animals at the appropriate time of the year. Each hunter has a unique, individual experience, their own personal connection to the experience as well as their own personal reasons for hunting. For many their heritage and traditions also include the game processing and wild game cooking as important parts of the whole experience of naturally harvesting your own wild food. For example, Native Americans traditionally thanked and honored the spirit of the wild game that they hunted- and using the entire animal was also extremely important, so that nothing was wasted. Today wild game hunting is different, but thankfully there are still many that live in more rural areas that hunt for food, and if their family does not use all of the animal, many times there is someone else in the community that can. This includes community wild game dinners with family wild game recipes that will keep everyone coming back for more.
