Eating wild game and plants can offer several benefits:

  1. Lean Protein: Wild game such as venison, elk, and bison tend to be lower in fat and higher in protein compared to traditional livestock like beef and pork. 

  2. Lower Saturated Fat: Wild game typically contains lower levels of saturated fat, which can be healthier for your heart and reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

  3. Richer in Nutrients: Wild game  and even wild plants often contains higher levels of essential nutrients. The game can offer higher levels of things  like vitamins B12, iron, and zinc compared to domesticated meats.

  4. Free of Hormones, additives and Antibiotics: Wild game is not raised with hormones or antibiotics, making it a more natural and potentially safer food source. Wild plants are often far less prone to additives and preservatives than their cultivated counterparts.

  5. Ethical and Sustainable: Hunting wild game is a more ethical and sustainable way to obtain meat, as it doesn’t contribute to factory farming practices and overuse of antibiotics in livestock.

  6. Environmental Benefits: Consuming wild game can support wildlife management efforts and help control animal populations in certain regions, which can have positive effects on ecosystems.

  7. Unique Flavor: Wild game often has a unique and distinct flavor compared to domesticated meats, which can be appealing to those looking for variety in their diet.

The benefits of eating wild game  or wild plants can vary depending on the type of food, its source, and how it is prepared.
