What's everyone's favorite way to cook what they hunt? I was a pretty staunchly team bacon wrapped dove kebab until tonight I seared some skin-on mallards we whacked at the duck pond last week - found the recipe on Dive Bomb Industries website, with a blueberry sauce. Fried pheasant in gravy is up there for me too!

I put a ton of weight on my two boys for playing ball with elk tacos. A metric shit-ton of elk tacos. Use a homemade spice recipe instead of that shit in the store. Then bake them. Pretty legit. It became our go-to family meal really.
 
Current favorite in the house is deer and noodles.

This year I started packaging cubed deer meat, started doing it for stew. Wanted to try something different so I slow cooked it and then made a gravy from the broth and served it over noodles. My daughter has had it twice and she has been asking for it weekly.
 
Elk loin Milanese with mashed potatoes (2:1 potato to butter ratio).

Use a 50/50 mixture of panko and Italian style breadcrumbs with dried herbs, pan fried in a cast-iron with a high smoke point oil.

Once it's lightly browned on both sides, I toss in smashed garlic cloves and a nob or two of salted butter and baste the Milanese till it turns a rich golden brown.

Remove and set on a rack so excess oil drains off, squeeze some lemon on it.

Serve with a side of the mash, something green for good measure.
