Chris Smith's mission is to stop wild game waste. We tend to glorify the hunt itself, we tell stories about the struggle and triumph. But what happens next?

Often meat sits in the freezer with hunters and families not entirely sure how to use it. That is where Chris comes in. Host of the Wild Vittles podcast, Chris wants to share his love of wild game cooking with the world and try to end wild game waste by sharing over a decade of experience cooking and processing wild game.

This was a fun episode, it was so easy to talk to Chris and we discussed everything from handling meat in the field to common mistakes beginner wild game chefs make. If you're a new hunter or even a seasoned hunter and looking to better understand how to cook your game, you'll want to watch this episode!
