Take a look around your food-hunting grounds: Finding a nice cut of bison, or even antelope, is easier than ever these days — just ask Chef James Boyce, executive chef at Cotton Row Restaurant, an elegant yet down home all-American cookery in Huntsville, Alabama, that specializes in game meat.

Chef Boyce has been in on the game-meat game since he bounced out of his crib. He was born and raised by a pack of hunters in Upstate New York, so venison, quail, rabbit and a bumper crop of other delicious, exotic meats were frequently on the menu at home.
