The name pretty much says it all with cook off. The rules are simple: participants grill meat they bought or from animals that they have killed themselves. Some examples of 'Killed It' from previous year include deer, rabbit, gator and wild boar. All meat must be properly skinned and dressed before it is brought to the cook off and no road kill can be used for the 'Killed It' category.
There is a separate category called 'Bought It' for those who would rather buy meat to cook. The 'Grew It' category is for participants who enter vegetables or side dishes that do not contain meat. A new category was made in recent years called- 'Baked It'. Participants in this category can enter an item baked from scratch, just like grandma used to make, in a Dutch oven or open flame. An award is also given for overall showmanship, so even if you don't win in one category you can still take home a prize.
