Description
From the Book Back
This book shows you how to get top-grade meat and trophies from game and fish. It covers the range of skills from estimating the qualities of live animals to cooking meat and preparing trophies for the taxidermist. Included are step-by-step techniques for field-dressing, caping, and skinning as well as for home tanning and butchering. The author describes how to care for a wide assortment of trophies from all game and fish. With the record book in mind, he also provides “quick-at-glance” field methods for estimating trophy merits of each of the major classes of big game. On getting good meat, the author tells you how to select the prime big-game animals and place your shots properly. But he admits that chance may determine the quality of fish, birds, and small game at the time you bag them. The key then is knowing what to do after the kill, and Elliott gives you full details. For good measure, he tosses in a host of cooking and preserving recipes that would tempt a vegetarian. Rich in anecdote and solid how-to info, Care For Game Meat and Trophies is illustrated with over 100 instructive drawings and photos. This is an essential guide for anyone who takes up rod or gun.
