ADCNR Launches “Wild Eats”

The Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (ADCNR) has launched its Wild Eats page. ADCNR Communications and Marketing Director Billy Pope said, "We wanted to provide a platform on Outdoor Alabama that gives everybody the opportunity to cook wild game with unique recipes and a place for everybody to share their recipes. We’re asking people to submit their unique recipes for wild game and fish. We’ve already had submissions for stir-fried duck and collard green soup with venison." Pope also said ADCNR realizes many of today’s hunters are pursuing wild game with a different mindset from those who grew up in a hunting culture: "People being introduced to hunting or wanting to learn to hunt are doing it for a different reason. They want to harvest their own meat, so they know where it comes from. They want sustainable, healthy protein for their families."
