2026 IWF Wild Game Cook-Offs

Wild game. Good food. Even better company.

The Idaho Wildlife Federation is planning two Wild Game Cook-Offs for summer 2026—one in Boise and one in Coeur d’Alene—and we’re excited to start connecting with the teams that will be at the heart of these events.

Whether you’re a seasoned chef, a backyard griller, or just love wild game, these cook-offs are all about celebrating Idaho’s hunting heritage, sharing skills, and enjoying a fun, community-focused experience with fellow sportsmen, women, and outdoor recreationists. Don’t want to compete? Spectators, volunteers, and sponsors are welcome to join in!
