OK... meat care starts immediately after death, in the field, not the processor.
Here in az I've found the gameiness proportionate to how long the skin is left on. Also guides don't concern themselves much with immediate meat care and more on trophy care.
I'm not surprised with your findings.
That said...
Stew, everyone's favorite.
Cube meat after searing or sear in pan after cubing, have meat seasoned regardless. Crockpot, cut in your favorite vegetables. Mine are potatoes, onions, tomatoes, celery, carrots. Season with salt, pepper, garlic and a packet of stew mix from the grocery.
Pepper steak.
Season steaks, flour and sear in oil, turn heat down, add onion slices and cut green peppers on top, cover with lid, flip to brown both sides.
Jerky is always a good choice.
