he Texas Wildlife Association proudly hosted its first of a series of wild game cooking demonstrations at our Headquarters in New Braunfels in April. Emphasizing the connection between conservation, hunting, sustainable eating and our precious natural resources, a handful of our Adult Mentored Hunting participants and their guests spent the afternoon learning how to successfully break down game as well as utilize simple techniques to create elevated dishes at home. Topics included processing game meat, tamale making and assembly, plating techniques and food photography. A handson experience, participants were able to make their own venison tamales as well as connect and enjoy meaningful conversation while sharing a meal. TWA is working hard to expand our Hunt to Table outreach by offering these cooking classes. Simultaneously, we're growing our Adult Mentored Hunting Program and our coveted Hunt to Table dinners. Stay tuned for more events in the near future.
