The Alabama Wildlife Federation (AWF) Wild Game Cook-Off Series returned to the place of its origin last week with its annual trip to the Alabama Gulf Coast.

The first AWF Wild Game Cook-Off took place in the fall of 1996 in Mobile. The event was such a success that the concept quickly spread across the state with Montgomery holding its first Wild Game Cook-Off the following year.

In 2025, the Gulf Coast event was the 12th of a total of 15 Cook-Offs, including competition in the spring series at Demopolis, Dothan, Talladega, Cullman, Millbrook, Lake Martin, Limestone County and Madison County. The fall schedule started with stops at Birmingham, Morgan County, Muscle Shoals and the Gulf Coast. The remaining events are at Tuscaloosa tonight (October 23), Selma on October 30 and Grove Hill
