Buck, Buck, Moose: The 10th Anniversary Edition is the completely revised and expanded edition of Hank Shaw’s best-selling venison cookbook — the book that has helped more than 100,000 hunters, home cooks, and wild-food lovers make the most of deer, elk, moose, antelope, caribou and other big game animals.

This is not a cosmetic update. After ten more years of hunting, cooking, teaching, butchering, answering reader questions, and refining recipes, Hank has rebuilt Buck, Buck, Moose into the edition this book was always meant to become.

The new edition includes more than 30 new recipes, 200 color photographs, new and revised techniques for processing and cooking big game, expanded guidance on charcuterie and sausage-making, and updates throughout. You’ll find modern methods for slow cookers, Instant Pots, sous vide, air fryers and more — alongside the timeless nose-to-tail venison cooking that made the original a classic.

If you already own Buck, Buck, Moose, this edition was made for you. The original still holds up. But the new edition reflects ten more years of experience, better photography, deeper technique, and the questions readers have asked again and again since the book first appeared in 2016.

The 10th Anniversary Edition keeps the heart of the original, but adds new recipes, new photographs, new techniques, modern cooking methods, expanded instruction, and revisions throughout.

If you’re new to venison, start here. Buck, Buck, Moose is a complete guide to working with every cut, from tenderloins and backstraps to shoulders, shanks, necks, ribs, organs, trim and grind. It includes recipes from around the world, practical butchering and storage advice, curing and sausage-making, and the stories that explain why venison still matters.

— Steve Rinella, author and host of MeatEater

“I devoured every page of Buck, Buck, Moose. Hank Shaw lives, sleeps, eats, and breathes venison — and his passion is palpable.”
