# What is "WILD at HEART"
At WILD at HEART, we’re passionate about turning the final moment of the hunt into the first step of a culinary adventure. We aim to inspire hunters everywhere to use the whole animal—from nose to tail—and to discover the flavor, history, and pride that comes with every cut of wild game.
We believe hunting is more than the shot itself: it’s the birds’ dawn chorus, the electric hush at dusk, the handshake after a well-executed stalk—and the quieter choices made in the kitchen, where temperature, time, and technique make all the difference. Getting to know your game after the shot shows respect for the land, the animal, and the craft of hunting.
That’s why we’ve gathered everything—inspiration, recipes, know-how, and community—into one online hub. Here, you’ll find step-by-step butchering guides, tips on dry-aging, smoking, and curing, and fresh ideas for every skill level in the kitchen.
Our goal is to build a global community of hunters, home cooks, and outdoor enthusiasts who help one another minimize waste, maximize flavor, and carry on the cultural heritage of the hunt. We believe in openness, so we invite you to share your own experiences—misses and wins alike—and, above all, your photos of game, the hunt, and the dishes that come out of your kitchen.
Tag them #wildatheart and show us what’s on your board or in your pan.
Welcome to a wilder, more flavorful hunting life. Happy hunting—and bon appétit!
