After three years of work, our follow-up to the Meat Eater Fish and Game Cookbook is here.

It's the Meat Eater outdoor cookbook. Wild game recipes for the grill, smoker, campfire, and camp stove.

Here is your book for everything that's best cooked or eaten outside. From grilling to open fire cooking to Dutch ovens to smokers to barbecue to backpacking meals to how to pull off the perfect fish fry with pit stops

along the way for lessons about Ice Age cooking methods and the best five ways

to construct a cooking fire you can be proud of.

And of course we're focusing on wild game and fish here with over 100 recipes

including stuffed venison burgers three ways, wild duck with ahi Verdi sauce, a jerky

made with cola, a gin and tonic made with fire charred lemons, and grilled froglegs made with a sticky sweet sauce. This ain't your normal cookbook

so be prepared to be surprised. Get your copy now. For more info visit the

meat eater.com or buy it wherever books are sold.

I said we were curious not smart

It's all about messing with critters this week, but first I'm going to tell you a story.

Hurricane Katrina was a category 5 hurricane. The cost of lives and loss is still being felt today.
