As my husband loves to hunt wild game, I bought this book for him as a farce. However, it has turned out to be a great purchase. I was at a loss as how to clean and cook wild game until "Kill It and Grill It" came along. This is the only cookbook I've bought that my husband hasn't complained about and it's an entertaining and "colorful" read as well.
There is NOTHING better than being in the outdoors and bagging your own chow, be it mammalian or fish. Ted and Shemane have HIT THE MARK! The recipes are EXCELLENT and being a predator myself, grilling a tasty rack of deer with Ted's recipe for marinade DON'T GET ANY BETTER! Rock on.
Love him or hate him, the rock & roll legend Ted Nugent is probably the most outspoken advocate for "blood sports" today. And when he turns to the domestic side of hunting -- the preparation and cooking of wild game meat -- you'll find it a lot harder to hate him because you'll love the dishes he prepares and the way he talks about them.
The attitude of this book is "Life is a BBQ" (a direct Nugent quote), and most of the 22 chapters are followed by one or more recipes. Underlying the cooking theme is Nugent's reverence for wildlife and his unapologetic explanation of what it takes for wildlife to thrive in the modern world. Nugent argues that habitat destruction, not the hunter, poses the greatest threat to wildlife; that the cruelty of nature offers no reason for man not to participate; that hunters are the greatest conservationists; and that wildlife is a renewable resource. These are truths that hunters should shout from the mountaintops.
Kill It & Grill It is worth having in your kitchen. It's a unique cookbook for sure.

Awesome, intriguing, a whole new way to look at game.
I have buddies on the Chesapeake Bay who hunt and cook wild game. Although I've enjoyed many a dinner at their tables (venison, goose, duck... all served with innumerable oysters), I still didn't know how I truly felt about the issue of hunting for food. The Nugents' book helped me over the hurdle by making a sensible, informed argument for enjoying wild game, and presenting it deliciously. The Coca-Cola Venison Stew is a must-try... tastes far better than it sounds! Great book.
The recipe's are great and the anecdotes provided by Ted and Shemane make this the most enjoyable cook book I've read. This is definitely not Julia Child.
As an avid predator and self taught chef I think this book is a grand slam home run. If you do not like this book then you are a prima-donna hunter or a scavenger. Talking turkey is what hunting and gathering is all about. Kill it, dress it, chill it and eat it. Most meathheads have other people kill and prepare their animals. I call those people scavengers. Very much like the vulture. Predators, are those of us who collect our food ourselves and prepare it properly for the fabulous feast. This book is the ultimate interpretation of that process. From beginning to end the "Nugents" have teamed up to put everything into perspective. Having properly declared hunting a sacred event, they take you on a safari of the mind, soul and body. If you believe, as I do, that hunting is a lifestyle, not just a hobby, then this book is for you. On the other hand, if you are a yellow bellied sap sucker who brings their zip lock bags to the buffet line for early bird specials, don't waste your time trying to understand the real world. It is already too late for you. The Nugents talk straight from the soul and shoot even straighter. Their way of cooking is born out of respect for the animal and dignity for the hunt. It is a real pleasure to be invited into someones home through a book instead of a television. This is really a magical mystery tour of the senses. I have tried some of the formulas and have enjoyed the wholesome approach to killing it and grilling it. In a canned world filled with fast foods and fat people, exploring the alternatives should be mandatory in the school of life. On the other hand, the more people eating boffo bugers at dingy drive throughs, The less I have to deal with hobby hunters who kill a wonderful animal for a photograph. This book is boot camp for the beginners and food for thought for the experienced. This is not a cook book. It is a way of life...Refreshing, invigorating, stimulating, intriguing and exciting. You are what you eat. Try it...You'll like it!
It is time for me to go.....Hunting!
Happy Trails to You!

I love this book! Except for the occasional foul language. This book caught my eye because I recently took up hunting again after hitting a deer with my Kia when driving to the supermarket to buy vegetarian food at the nattering of my now-ex-girlfriend. The irony seemed too much so, I elected to bring out my old .30 caliber shootin' iron from retirement. I had blasted six bambis by the time Ted's tome came out and have been immersed for the last two weeks regaling with Ted and his preposterously pulchritudinous wife Shemane in the joys of subduing and munching on nature's tastiest creatures! There are plenty of details on how to gut and prepare game for the cooking pot and your finest tableware. Ted also provides plenty of yummy and innovative recipes for freshly zapped wild boar, buffalo, pheasant, and (my favorite) venison. Gobble gobble yum yum!!! There are plenty of insights on hunting for the new shooter, but I found myself familiar with most. What I particularly enjoyed, and must admit was clueless on, was the nutritional information for various types of game. I like Ted and Shemane's philosophy very much on food, why buy it when you can kill it? Wince on liberal weenies and animal huggers. You are standing in the way of my dinner! That's how it was done 200 years ago and should continue today and in the permanent future. Bang bang, sizzle sizzle, yum yum!!! Go Ted GO!!!
Cookbook with a sense of humor
How unusual to read a cookbook from a rocknroller who doesn't do drugs, long time married with a family, hunts and fishes and eats what he harvests. Stream of consciousness writing is sometimes redundant but he is trying to explain his lifestyle in a wild game cookbook. It says something about Americans today when we have to justify our reasons for hunting and eating game. This is a good basic cookbook for large and small game, fish and fowl.
Dont Buy any Other Wild Game Cookbooks,
I have been cooking all kinds of wild game for 30 years. I have been failing at white tail venison no matter how hard I tried, no matter whose cookbook I used and wasted more venison than I can say and finally gave up. The guys pan fried their bucks.
Then after meeting "Uncle Ted" one day in our local Wal-Mart, and we had rippin'good time in man-land. I was inspired to try again...I watched Spirit of the Wild a few thousand times. I watched his tips, and then bought the cookbook. My first try was such a huge success, I was so praised by the hubby that I felt like a grand champion ! I rated the recipe and wrote down comments in the margin for tweaking it for the next time, and then my second try was a marinade and these are ones that The Man usually really hates.
He had his first bite and was off to the races with nearly the whole platter! I am telling you , if you buy this cookbook, more reasonably priced than others I have seen, you are fixed for life and will have the happiest bunch of people to feed than you have ever had. The trick is, these recipes are so easy with very little added to the them, nothing Frenchy or anything you can't pronounce. You can make it all and you already have all the ingredients in your kitchen. It's down to earth, and it's so easy on you so you will have energy to enjoy
the meal with everyone. I leave it out on my butcher block, recipes rates and pages full of comments by The Man, and all is finally well after 30 years of hunting in my household.
Thank you, Uncle Ted!

I'm Goin' Lookin' For Some Bear!!!
I bought this cookbook for three reasons. First, my effort to become a vegan met with predictable failure. No matter how I prepared my vegetarian dishes, they still tasted bland and made me feel like the grass-chewing cow I was constantly thinking about eating. Second, I liked the cover of Ted and his eye-pleasing wife Shemaine (coincidently, Shemaine is the name of one of my neighbor's poodles who my bulldog (Colonel) keeps harassing). Anyhow, I liked the cover of those two delightful carnivores posing with their tools of the trade. Lastly, I've been looking for a good game cookbook. I don't do a lot of hunting, but when I do I'm often perplexed about how to prepare the venison (I have yet to kill a bear or some of the more exotic animals for which this book has recipes; as a side note: I believe I can eliminate the duck problem in my backyard and also prepare a delicious dish for my neighbors with plenty of scraps for their new puppies). This great cookbook covers all the details you need for making a meal out the game you've dispatched and the recipes look delicious and fairly easy to follow. The writing style is a strange combination of puerile, amusing, and informative--and it works! I am very glad to have this cookbook in my kitchen and plan to put it to use the next time I put my hunting rifle to the test! Most Definitely Recommended. Hoppy Hunting!!
I bought this for my husband for Fathers' Day with a set of BBQ skewers and it was a hit.
A Must Have for True Game Hunters
Very well written recipes and the stories are awesome - both Ted and Shemane's. This is a must have for the sportsman who enjoys the "spoils of his kill"
Reading This Book is a Meal in Itself
I don't hunt and haven't yet prepared big game dishes, but I'm always on the lookout for new recipes with which to expand my repertoire. This book made me resolve to take up cooking big game.
But I don't know if that's necessary. Ted's descriptions of preparing and eating big game are so savory, eating this book is like enjoying a multi-course big game meal!
A superbly-written cookbook. Ted Nugent is a very gifted writer; perhaps that is his true gift.

I bought this book mostly for the recipes. It is full of the "philosophy according to Ted" (which I love by the way). The book may leave you wanting more if all you want is a wild game cookbook. I do have to say that the recipes are excellent. My kids beg for the Deer Stroganoff. It is also one of my all-time favorite dishes to eat with the deer that I harvest. I have tried several recipes from the book and all were accurate and very tasty. Thanks to Uncle Ted for creating more than a cookbook - I read from it while I am cooking.
More reading then recipes, but the stories are good, and the recipes are great. recommended for any big and or small game hunter.
Kill It and Grill it a Great Hit with the Hunter in my Family
I purchased this book for a hunter in my family. I thought it was a cookbook. Turns out has both stories and recipes. The recipient read the whole book right away and has tried two of the crockpot recipes with great results. He says it was a great gift.
This book is part cookbook, part 'Nuge stories and philosophy. Of course, you'd expect that with anything from Ted Nugent.
It's not a very thick book. It has recipes for a varied array of game, but most animals only get a couple recipes, which is a shame, since 1 kill will frequently yield huge amounts of meat. Do you want to make the same thing with your entire deer? The recipes, themselves, are sound. They advise treating the meat in the correct ways to maximize flavor and tenderness. The problem is that they're a limited selection of all you can do with game. I would have preferred a description of how each animal's meat is different from the common, domesticated relatives. For instance, how is a deer different from an elk, a cow, a lamb, etc? They're all closely related, but the different fat contents, diets, muscle biology, etc. mean they taste and are cooked differently. For fowl, the range is even greater: chickens are nothing like ducks or ostriches, for example. Even wild and domestic turkeys are drastically different. Also, like their domesticated relatives, the different cuts of game meat are good for different purposes and methods. This book doesn't go into those differences.
In short, while the recipes will work for the hunter who can't cook his kill into something palatable, they won't give him a very deep understanding of properly cooking game.

I needed a gift for my brother who has a great sense of humor and loves hunting. It arrived quickly and in great condition. He laughed when he saw the cover and his wife was glad to have the recipes.
Ted Nugent's Kill It & Grill It
Kill It and Grill It: Ted and Shemane Nugent's Guide to Preparing & Cooking Wild Game and Fish
This "creative" cookbook is a hunter's dream. And the recipes definitely don't all "taste like chicken". Get ready for a wild experience--after the kill.

This is a gift for my significant other who loves to hunt and likes classic rock, so what could be better? Entertaining to read and the recipies look great - can't wait to try it!
Book in excellent condition. Fast delivery. My son, the hunter, loved it.
The kill it & grill it cook book for game is good for a shelf book by a rock star. I felt that some of the game listed was somewhat on the exotic side. I was looking for more of a local northeastern USA taste.
Since I have a freezer full of venison and limited knowledge of cooking it, "Kill It and Grill It" sounded just exactly like what I need. NOT SO! I did not like this book because it includes profanity and obscenities I am seventy years old, and this is the first "dirty" cook book I have ever seen. I was so excited to receive it from Amazon in a timely manner, couldn't wait to read it. I have read many real hunting adventures, and thought to enjoy that part also. The vulgar language and phrases found in the book prevented me from wanting to go beyond chapter two. At first I began marking out crude words with a marker, but it became too great a task. By chapter two I realized I had wasted my money on a poor piece of work that belongs in the trash, which is where I am putting it. I believe there are many folks like me who do not care for such crudity, and they have a right to know it is contained in this book.
Food & Laughter! What more do you want?
This collection of wild game delicious recipes and gut-busting humor is absolutely out of this world!
Read this book, I promise, you will never be able to listen to Sean Hannity without laughing out loud again!

A Present for my Hunter Brother
OK, so Ted Nugent is a favorite from my teen years. What better to give my brother who likes to hunt in Missouri? Many whitetail and turkeys have fallen to his arrows so how about a good recipe book to go along with the hunt. Thanks, Ted, nice job.
Purchased as a gift for my hubby. He enjoys watching Ted's hunting shows and does a lot of hunting also. Should be a good book for wild game recipes.
There are better books out there...
A friend got me this book because he knows I think Nugent is very amusing and I like his stance on a lot of issues. This book has good recipes but I was shocked at the tone in which it was written. It comes across as making light of the killing of animals, giving me the impression that the authors have no respect for life. I gave my copy away.
