Bone Up On Your Cooking Techniques:

• Keep the meat cool from field to freezer. If the carcass gets too hot it will give the meat a bad taste.

• Cure the meat for up to 30 days at a temperature below 45 degrees to allow enzymes to break down the flesh and aid the cooking process.

• For prime cuts, one of the best cooking methods is to marinate and roast slowly at a low temperature.

• For lesser cuts that may be tough and sinewy, grind the meat for use in sausages or as an exotic ground beef substitute.

• Trim the fat off the animal before cooking, because the strong "gamey" flavor is concentrated there.

• Pair game with rich earthy flavors, like mushrooms, red wine, brandy, and strong spices.

• Don't overcook: Lean game meat cooks much faster than fatty domestic meat.
