My favorite is Axis & Squirrel. I am wondering about Pronghorn especially.

What's your fancy?


My hand's-down favorite game meat is Dall Sheep. Nothing, IME, is even close.

My 2nd favorite is absolutely antelope. If you get the hide off quickly and get it chilled quickly you'll always have GREAT meat.

The Alaskan Moose I've had is better than our Montana elk, but I've only had Shiras Moose once and it wasn't as good as the AK Moose I've eaten.

4th favorite would be elk, but only spikes or younger. Elk calf is fabuous, and I'd put it ahead of moose. Old bulls and cows are tasty, but TOUGH!

5th favorite would be Nilgai.

Grey Squirrel is good, especially chicken-fried.

Deer... bleh.

Bison is great but I really don't consider it game meat. Here it can be bought over the counter nearly everywhere, and it's served in most of our restaurants.
