In 2013, John Wallace launched his Wild Game Cook Instagram page as a way to provide everyday outdoorsmen and women with ideas for easy-to-make meals using wild game meat. Nearly 10 years later, he has taken this passion for food and education about wild game cooking, processing and more and made it a full-time gig.

At SHOT Show 2025, we sat down with Wallace to chat about raising kids to appreciate wild game, easy wild game recipes for wild turkey legs, the necessity of simplicity in cooking wild game, the role wild game cooking on social media can play in the fight to ensure the future of our hunting heritage and more!
