Best Game Meat??

[ccc23454]

Top of list is debateable but the lowest is always mature mountain mulies!

Only big spring bears(meat flavored gum) can compete...

God I love to hunt to hunt spring bear but after eating 100 pounds of jerky I’m over it.

 

[Bowedark]

Moose Caribou are both very tender meat and distinctly flavored
Elk

 

[Phaseolus]

Pronghorn
Elk
Dusky grouse

To me they all taste like meat. Elk takes some aging to tenderize that pronghorn don’t, but otherwise flavors are all similar enough that I know Id fail a Pepsi challenge to guess what game meat I’m eating

fried quail hands down with mashed taters, biscuits & gravy for the win. tied for close 2nd: seasoned and battered turkey breast fillets deep fried. med rare grilled caribou and elk T-loin. next level fried squirrel & rabbit, whitetail, antelope, buffalo, frog legs, pheasant, aoudad, wild pig, mulie, turtle, never tried sheep, goat, moose but they're on my bucket list

Pronghorn

 

[brymoore]

Elk is my favorite. I love pronghorn but it’s more of a prairie treat.

 

[jt13]

Axis deer/cow elk/yearling whitetail are all tied for first place on my list for general meat quality.

 

[Gellar]

Just like my kids, I can’t pick favorites!

 

[Falcon75]

Moose and then Antelope. My buddy just got an axis deer and says it is better than our moose. Can't wait to try axis and jackrabbit.

Among birds, turkey is my favorite. I prefer elk over deer unless it’s a corn-fed fawn. Antelope is unique enough it’s hard to compare to other meats, and it’s one of my favorites. I look forward to trying moose someday based on how good most everyone says it is.

I would have to put moose at the top of my list for big game meat. I've killed two in Montana over the last 40 years. It is to me, better than any of the elk meat I've taken. Both of those are well above deer.

Far enough that I have not killed a deer in a long long time. I still buy a tag,,just in case. But it goes unused, year after year.

Pronghorn,, I've had really good and pretty bad,,,so they are lumped in with deer for me.

Upland birds,, huns are as great on the table as they are fun in the field.

Mallard ducks,, I killed close to fifty of them one fall way back in the day. I liked them especially cold, sliced for a sandwich.


PS: A friend and I bought a hind quarter of bison from the FWP when they did the killing of YNP bison. That was damn good also.

Pan-fried Squirrel is my favorite game meat so far but I haven't tried a lot of the game meats I plan to hunt/eat in the future.

 

[TheGrayRider]

Bacon-wrapped moose meatloaf stuffed with cream cheese and garlic.

 

[Cheesehead]

Haven’t tried moose yet, but I’d say swiftly consumed pronghorn >young squirrel>elk>deer>6 month old pronghorn>old squirrel

 

[Washington Hunter]

I'm with madtom. I just can't tell the difference between any of it. I almost always have Wyoming antelope and whitetail deer/mule deer in my freezer. Usually have some deer from here in Washington, either blacktail or mule deer. And not every year, but often I have elk in the freezer. It's all the same to me. Younger animals of course are usually more tender. But taste wise I can't tell what I'm eating. I'm assuming some people just have a much better sense of taste than I do.

 

[Fullquiver]

Corn and alfalfa raised whitetail fawn or 1 1/2 yo doe.
Elk
Moose
Antelope

I have only had pronghorn burger twice. I believe it was good... But I am really surprised how many people haveit tops their list. I want to try it again

 

[Nick87]

There all good if you prepare it right.

All my life growing up I was told farmland whitetail is as good as it gets. The more animals I kill and eat the further they slide down the list.
