[edit] For food or sport?

Game is hunted for food? Not for sport? (The name game seems itself to imply sport.) Laurel Bush 11:01, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC).

Of course some game is hunted for sport, including by paying customers who may not intend to eat their quarry.MikeHobday 22:14, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cooking

We may globalise game cooking:

1) never do game cooking at low temperature:

Hunting is an outdoor activity. Therefore preparing the game ( to gut...)is done in a none sterile environment. If the game is cooked at a low temperature, you will create ideal conditions for bacillus to kill your game a second time.

2) Ensure the hunter has cooled down the game to 4° as soon as possible.

3) The cut will roast well if the game has been stored at 4° for at least 2 days plus 1/2 day for each year of age

4) Never cook game at temperatures lower than 180°.

5) Even 14 years old deer, treated as described above, will be tender.

6) Never marinate other game than hare. Marinating game is a relict of ancient times when fridgerators had not yet been invented.

7) do your first game as simple as possible: salt & peppers only. Use sweet molasses (roe, deer & wild boar) or orange juice(fowl) to flavour the sauce.

8) Believe in the experience of a chef with huge hunting experience

[edit] Water Buffalo in Africa

I have removed Water buffalo from the list of African game species. It is an introduced species, the only noteworthy populations existing in Egypt, where it is considered domesticated. - Rooivalk 01:47, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Hunting

Hi all. I have become interested recently in creating or helping to create a possible WikiProject covering Hunting, Shooting, Game animals etc. If anyone is interested, please sign your name at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals#Hunting. Cheers Greenfinch100 15:54, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nutrition of meats

Was going to insert something like this as I did under moose, but have no time left. Anybody fancy giving it a go? Kathy Etling’s article “The Wild Diet” from the 8/02 edition of Outdoor Life Gives incredible detail on Protein and fat levels on many game meats. Would be good to break this down and stick it in here somewhere. Tables available here: [1] Thanks A Taxed Mind (talk) 20:23, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] united kingdom quarry

it should be noted that things like large non birds of prey and rodents (ie pigeons, doves, crows, magpies, jays, jackdaws, grey squirrels, rats, rabbits, mice etc) are deemed "quarry" in the UK. that means you can legally hunt them at all times of the year, if authorized, because those species breed in large enough numbers. one could even use the term "vermin".81.159.158.247 (talk) 15:55, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
