Tips on
Hunting wild game, large and
small, once was a necessity.
Today, however, it’s more of an
invigorating adventure. With
hunting season here, it’s also
open season for game cookery.
People eating game for the first
time usually try to compare it
with beef, pork or other domestic
meats, but June Wilke, Chester
County Extension home
economist, says you should
Preparing Wild
remember that game has a
distinctive flavor which for the
most part, is not comparable with
the meat of any other group of
animals.
But you need more than recipes
to fully enjoy eating game. It
must come from the field to your
kitchen in good condition. That
means that every sportsman
should know the proper way to
clean, transport and store what
Game
he shoots.
The necessity for dressing
game immediately after shooting
depends, of course, on the
weather. Hunters agree that
game birds may be carried
through the day without cleaning.
If the temperature is warm and
the birds are to be kept more than
one day without ice or
refrigeration, they should be
drawn as soon as possible but
leave the feathers on until
reaching home.
Miss Wilke advise you to clean
out the abdominal cavity of
mammals the same day they are
killed. Carefully remove splin
tered bones, pieces of feathers or
fin: and shot from shot wounds in
order that you can cook an
animal in good condition.
Loosely wrap fresh game birds
and then store them in the coldest
part of your lefrigerator for two
to three days before cooking. For
best flavor, cooked game should
be stored in a covered container
and eaten within three to four
days. Or you can freeze the birds,
if they are waterfowl.
As you would do with poultry,
you can roast, broil or fry tender
birds. These birds have light
colored skin, and need to be will
basted. Older birds, more solidly
fleshed and fattier, require moist

USDA Reverses
Stand on Butter
Standard Change
The U.S. Department of
Agriculture has withdrawn its
proposal to amend the U.S. grade
standard for butter.
USDA’s Agricultural
Marketing Service proposed
amending the standard to allow a
very slight whey flavor in U.S.
Grade A butter (USDA press
release 3278-72). The proposal
was published in the October 7,
1972, Federal Register and
comments from interested
persons were invited.
On the basis of comments
received the USDA has decided to
make a more complete study of
the standard with the view to
making more extensive
revisions, if necessary, at a later
date.
