“Tag: wild game meat”

This wild game pie has it all, with a delicious ‘comfort food’ taste that’s sure to have your family and friends begging for seconds.

This November, the NRA and its members will celebrate the first-ever “Wild Game Meat Donation Month” to encourage all hunters to donate extra venison or other game meat to help provide meals for those in need.

Contrary to popular belief, most hunters don’t hunt for a trophy but rather for the meat a successful hunt can provide, according to a survey launched in 2008 by Responsive Management of Harrisonburg, Va., which has measured various aspects of hunting for several states across the country for almost 30 years.

It’s no secret the NRA has been a leading advocate of Hunters for the Hungry programs since the early 1990s. This November, we advance our advocacy and celebrate our creation of National Wild Game Meat Donation Month to inspire hunters everywhere to share surplus game.

It’s true out-of-state tags aren’t a cost-effective way to fill the freezer, but there are savings to be found at Mother Nature’s local meat market.

Here in the dead of winter is the perfect time to help many big game hunters understand why the meat they are getting back from the butcher this year tastes more like an old rubber tire than the finest meat on earth.

Like a good glass of wine, the right beer can elevate your meal. When pairing beer and wild game, plan how flavors will compare and contrast. Malt and hops—two of the main ingredients in beer—are strong enough to stand up against the bold flavors typical of traditional wild-game dishes.

Beyond the skulls, antlers and hides, it is undeniable that meat from the field brings any hunting adventure full circle. It’s important to explain to new hunters this crucial part of our experience that connects family and friends.
