This week I've chosen my most of my menu from the Indiana Conservation Officer's Cookbook. We have some friends who are Indiana game wardens and one one of them gave me this cookbook about 15 years ago. I've used it a lot these many years. I have to add, though, that I haven't made many of the wild game recipes. With names like Breaded Turtle Steak and Bambi in the Garden Chili, can you blame me? Anyway, without further ado, here's the plan. Recipes are included below for items marked with *.
