In this first-ever complete guide to hunting—from hunting an animal to butchering and cooking it—the host of the popular hunting show MeatEater shares his own expertise with us, and imparts strategies and tactics from many of the most experienced hunters in the United States as well. This invaluable book includes • recommendations on what equipment you will need—and what you can do without—from clothing to cutlery to camping gear to weapons • basic and advanced hunting strategies, including spot-and-stalk hunting, ambush hunting, still hunting, drive hunting, and backpack hunting • how to effectively use decoys and calling for big game • how to find hunting locations, on both public and private land, and how to locate areas that other hunters aren’t using • how and when to scout hunting locations for maximum effectiveness • basic information on procuring hunting tags, including limited-entry “draw” tags • a species-by-species description of fourteen big-game animals, from their mating rituals and preferred habitats to the best hunting techniques—both firearm and archery—for each species • how to plan and pack for backcountry hunts • instructions on how to break down any big-game animal and transport it from your hunting site • how to butcher your own big-game animals and select the proper cuts for sausages, roasts, and steaks, and how to utilize underappreciated cuts such as ribs and shanks • cooking techniques and recipes, for both outdoor and indoor preparation of wild game Review: Very good tool for new or medium-experienced hunters, good for preppers, too. - I bought and watched a video from another person that was a great beginner's tool. Having that base helped me understand some things better when I went thru this book. A LOT of great info in here, and I found it well-organized and presented, too. From gear to prep info, on to various animal species (and I felt the amount of species included was quite large), then butchering and cooking. There was a lot of actual hunting info, like stands and blinds and various weapon types, and traits of the various animals covered. It also covers things like licenses and legal differences between state laws, etc. The butchering is where I got more than from that video I watched, because this book takes it further from just field dressing or boning. That's the subject I wanted more info on, too, so I found it quite handy. The recipes are a nice bonus. And all throughout there are some excellent photos. I'm mostly interested in this from a prepper's perspective. It does go into differences in skinning if you're going to tan the hide, but of course does not go into much about tanning itself. It's rather large and heavy to carry, so is best studied prior to need, but is, I feel, a very good instruction tool for preppers or new or medium-experienced hunters. Review: A matters handbook - A great field guide to hunting, butchering and cooking wild game. I’m already a seasoned hunter but learned a lot and it was thoroughly enjoyable to read! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #679,922 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #3 in Game Cooking #10 in Hunting #17 in Cooking Game Meat | ## Images ![The Complete Guide to Hunting, Butchering, and Cooking Wild Game: Volume 1: Big Game - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91yiK6TDvrL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good tool for new or medium-experienced hunters, good for preppers, too. *by �***T on October 23, 2016* I bought and watched a video from another person that was a great beginner's tool.

I’m already a seasoned hunter but learned a lot and it was thoroughly enjoyable to read! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stop and buy this now *by C***H on September 28, 2015* I can't put this book down. If you are interested at all in hunting and what that means, get this book. This is truly a comprehensive, "complete" guide to hunting. Rinella starts out with gear and works his way all the way to cooking and consumption. Very detailed. The first 100 pages alone covered dozens of things that I have attempted to research on my own through dozens of different sources. Now I have something I can reference in one place. This is a fantastic foundation and introduction to hunting. Nothing will beat real, hands on experience, but as Rinella himself says, you have to learn the rules before you can break them. This is one of those books that my kids will grow up reading. I would still consider myself new to hunting and this book is getting me very excited about hunting in general again and providing a deep longing to get outside. As far as quality goes, there are pictures and illustrations that explain nearly everything. If there's something that doesn't quite stick after reading it, you need only glance up to the corresponding image and vice versa. Rinella and team have done a great job making this information very accessible. The writing is simple, but not in an uninformative way; it's easy to pick and up read and I find myself getting lost in the pages as if it were fiction. I cannot recommend this book enough. If you are interested at all about hunting and how to get started in it, do not look any farther. This should be required reading. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/86057155-the-complete-guide-to-hunting-butchering-and-cooking-wild-game](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/86057155-the-complete-guide-to-hunting-butchering-and-cooking-wild-game) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-07-11*
