What’s the best wild game meat?

[Bigcat_hunter]

Someone put bear on this list. Bear is definitely a step up from a livery gross mallard but I wouldn’t put it on the best tasting list lol. I don’t get too exited about a chewy bear steak. And it has a funky weird smell when cooking. I think it’s best used in pepperoni and summer sausage. The best:
Elk
Moose
Whitetail
Antelope
Followed by mule deer

For me so far it is or was oryx.

Quail and wood duck I think are my favorites.

Maybe because I eat so much venison and wild pork, I view those birds as delicacies. I don’t have much time to chase them and even when I do you only get a little bit of it…

probably not as popular or well known, but beaver meat is fantastic table fare. has the consistency of pot roast, it moist like a dark turkey leg, and when prepared properly, zero game flavor. high in protein and other nutrients. i tell everyone they are a water deer. pretty dang tasty. actually getting ready to pressure can a bunch up tomorrow

 

[Retch_Sweeney]

Gotta be Chamois for me. That was delicious

I noticed nobody said Bear - so that helped save me $100 this fall. LOL

I wouldn’t call it my #1, but bear is *highly* underrated. It’s probably my 3rd choice after grouse and pheasant.

Mallard ducks... all I see are streaks with wings filling the air... I imagine it's what heaven looks like.


My buddy gave me some of his moose last season, pretty great as others have said.

Kodiak Goat burger was some of my favorite meat in the whole world.

Dall sheep.... Seasoned with a Ramen noodles flavor packet... Cooked on a rock over a smoky willow fire... while looking at the perfect mixture of water, grass, and decaying, vertical geology
