How to Cook Game Meat?

Game meat doesn’t have quite as much fatty tissue, and the reason for this is because game animals aren’t confined to pens or cages while being fattened with grain and maize, like cattle, sheep and pigs. Game animals roam freely, exercising and eating a natural plant-based diet. The result is healthy, lean meat.
