This collection of rusty, old, blood-stained hunting trucks have been hauling hunters and big loads of meat down rough backcountry roads since way before the era of satellite navigation systems and backup cameras.

HOW I SPENT A YEAR IN THE AMERICAN WILD TO RE-CREATE A FEAST FROM THE CLASSIC RECIPES OF FRENCH MASTER CHEF AUGUSTE ESCOFFIER
By STEVEN RINELLA
When outdoorsman, avid hunter, and nature writer Steven Rinella stumbles upon Auguste Escoffier’s 1903 milestone book Le Guide Culinaire,he’s inspired to assemble an unusual feast: a forty-five-course meal born entirely of Escoffier’s esoteric wild game recipes. Over the course of one unforgettable year, he steadily procures his ingredients—fishing for stingrays in Florida, hunting mountain goats in Alaska, flying to Michigan to obtain a fifteen-pound snapping turtle—and encountering one colorful character after another. And as he introduces his vegetarian girlfriend to a huntsman’s lifestyle, Rinella must also come to terms with the loss of his lifelong mentor—his father. An absorbing account of one man’s relationship with family, friends, food, and the natural world, The Scavenger’s Guide to Haute Cuisineis a rollicking tale of the American wild and its spoils.
An old girlfriend gave me this book before I ever heard of Steve. It took me on an adventure that made me wish I could meet the likes of Ron and that eel dude character. As I'm writing this, I'm craving smoked octopus and smoked eel. Steve needs to write another book like this.

Fantastic Read
The Scavenger's Guide is a must-read for any outdoor enthusiast and cook. I couldn't put it down and never wanted it to end. The detail that Steve writes with makes the reader salivate and wish for a seat at the dinner table.
