Finding Wild Friends
I’ll never forget the first time I spotted a roadrunner in southern Nevada during a trip to Laughlin. Born and raised in the northern part of the state, I’d never seen these awesome birds before, and it was a great reminder that the critters we see every day might be brand new to someone else. To that end, we’ve gathered some of the best places you might glimpse a view of some new-to-you or favorite creatures. We make no guarantees you’ll see anything—for some reason Nevada’s wildlife won't adhere to our wishes. Good luck!

Wild-Game Cooking Elevated
Peel open the dusty pages of an old wild-game cookbook, and the recipes may sometimes feel a bit basic and bland: roast duck (salt, pepper), rabbit and gravy (shortening, onion, flour), and even broiled skunk (salt, pepper, onion, nose plugs).
Although some of these recipes are tried and true, gone are the days of cooking duck on a cedar plank, tossing the duck, and eating the cedar plank. That’s because wild-game cooking is evolving; not becoming more complicated, but becoming more understood and respected. Thanks, in part, to modern wild-game chefs understanding their subject matter and exploring new and different recipes—while sticking to everyday ingredients—that challenge traditional cooking methods.
