Celebrate wild food, wild places, and conservation while teams compete for the annual crowning of the best wild game cook!
This year we'll be partnering with the Wyoming Outdoors Weekend in Lander at the Convention Center on May 16th and 17th, 2025. We are hosting the Wild Game Cookoff on Saturday, May 17th at 5pm with setup starting at 4:30pm. It will be the evening attraction on Saturday!
This is a family-friendly event and incredibly fun for those who may not have much access to wild game food.
There will be raffles and games to win prizes donated by local supporters, plus top-notch music as well as locally brewed beer from Pushroot Brewing in Lander.
*Wild game is not for sale at this event. Food is served free of charge, however participating in the Cookoff requires an admission fee. We would love to see you at this year's Wild Game Cookoff!

We are still looking for eager wild game cooks who want to dethrone last year’s winners, the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, with a fan-favorite wild-caught or harvested dish. Email ghighfield@wyomingwildlife.org if you have a wild game recipe you would like to share with the community at this great event!
