Hi There!
My name is Hank Shaw; I’m a James Beard Award-winning author and chef. I started this site back in 2007 to help you get the most out of all things wild: fish, game, edible wild plants and mushrooms. Fifteen years later I’m still at it, hunting, fishing and gathering all over the US, Canada and Mexico. Hope you enjoy the site!
