The number of scares because of contamination in the food chain in recent years has increased steadily. As a result, many hunters are harvesting more from the animals they take than ever before. Often, you’ll cook up a great spread of venison, elk or even goose and your dinner guests will greet your delicious offering with a simple question: is it healthy?

Breathe a sigh of relief, because in virtually every case, the answer is a resounding yes. Game meats are lower in saturated fat, as well as total fat content, when compared to their domestic counterparts. For example, a 3.5 ounce serving of beef has, on average, six grams of fat - a 3.5 ounce serving of venison has half that. When it comes to providing nutrient-dense meals, you can’t beat a rabbit - they pack an astonishing amount of vitamin B12. And, game meats are among the best sources of lean protein nature has to offer.
