Living in Alaska is great, every year in August and September is hunting season to hunt big game. All the hunters go for the biggest animal and that is Moose. Moose is the biggest animal in the dear family. Alaska is the one state you can go hunting for Moose. They also hunt for Bear, and other animals too! Cooking wild game is pretty easy if you know what you're doing. Most Alaskans will marinate the meat first to get the meat tender. And many times they slow cook the meat. The best time to hunt for Bears is when they eat berries at the end of summer. When cooking Bear meat it is best to marinate the meat first. The meat should be cooked until there is no pink to the meat. Bear meat is really delicious to eat and it is very good for you. It is much better than buying meat at the grocery store! With meat going up in price. the Wild game will not break the bank but high meat prices will Or the other way to eat is getting on a plant-based diet! Many people are going Vegan for one reason or another.

The meat in the picture will cost you a lot of pennies! To marinate wild game meat: Put the meat in a bowl, add salt and pepper, I cut up 2 cloves of garlic, paprika, parsley, Add 1/4 cup of cooking sherry, 4table-spoons of soy sauce, and 3tables of Worcestershire sauce, cover with plastic, and let sit in the refrigerator overnight. When you're ready to cook the meat cut up one onion, garlic, and 4tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. Put the meat in the pan and sear it on both sides. If you have to add a little bit of sherry or water. Cook the meat on low heat until the meat is fully cooked. You can put the meat in a slow cooker if you want. When the meat is done let it sit for 5 minutes and then cut it. I have cooked a lot of moose meat this way and the meat is tender. Unfortunately wild game meat is not sold in any store! Kroger does sell Buffalo meat and you can marinate the meat in this recipe.

Cooking meat on the grill is one of the best ways to cook meat. The best way to cook wild game is to marinate the meat first. Then cook the meat on the grill. You can make a great rub out of herbs and spices that you like. I use Italian because my mom was Italian and I like Italian spices. You can also cook the meat in a smoker if you have you have a smoker. You can buy one at Walmart or online. Or you can even make one yourself if you feel creative. With a smoker, you could make Jerky. and when it is finished it is the best Jerky you could eat.

Dear Meat or Venison is great!

living in Alaska I have eaten a lot of wild game. My girlfriend gave me Sausage and that was the best tasting sausage I ever had. Sitka Alaska and Kodiak Alaska has Black Tail Dear. Dear meat is called Venison it is very tender and if you marinate the meat it would be more tender. Eating wild game is better for you because there are no chemicals it is just what the animals eat. When my husband killed a Moose, I could not be happier we had meat in the freezer and I did not have to buy meat except for chicken. Another wild game in Alaska is the Buffalo they call the animal Bison. The meat is very tasty and has no gaming tastes at all. One can hunt the animal but you have to put in a hunting permit. If Alaska Fish and Game gives you a permit then you can hunt the animal.

In Alaska, there are many animals to hunt that I did not mention in this Post. Beaver is one of the animals they hunt for the hide and the meat. Another animal is a bird and it is called a Game Hen this bird is not very smart therefore getting one is easy to do. The bird tastes like chicken, I usually make a stew with it. Another animal is the Rabbit, they are many in Alaska and they are great to make a stew or to cook on the grill or oven. Yes living in Alaska one has an advantage over a person living in a city or other part of the United States. I consider myself lucky living in Alaska because there are plenty of ways to get the food you need to survive.
