To me it is a dimension of having hunted. I enjoy cooking - in fact cook at least 8 meals a week in our home. I had trouble finding recipes for duck that the kids enjoy but eventually succeeded. Geese and upland game they relish. Wild game dinners with other hunters and their wives are somewhat of a contest to see who can outdo the other. Only those who shot the game are allowed in the kitchen. An opportunity for story telling and reliving the hunts.
