1. Dall sheep 2. Elk 3. Moose
Move moose to 2, Elk to 3 and we're done here.

Fish in order of taste, 1.Walleye 1. Perch 1. Fresh Tuna steak 1. Halibut.
That's called a close tie.

There is very little I have not eaten from NA and I have been able to get numbers of people to taste test different game meats many times, not knowing what they were.
If you aren't eating it on the mountain dall sheep falls way down the list.
Sitka blacktail usually wins.
Good caribou is very hard to beat.
Moose is very good, but seldom wins. Elk is about the same.
Lynx is outstanding.
Mountain goat is often very, very tough. Properly aged it is really good.
Wild pigs are some of the very best meat I have ever eaten.
Sandhill cranes and ruffed grouse are my favorite birds.
Black cod smoked, tunas, lingcod, yelloweye, and orange roughy are on the top of my fish list... halibut would not make it anywhere near the top.

When it comes to game species, I cannot tell any difference. Maybe it's the way it's been cooked, or maybe I have dull taste buds, but I absolutely cannot tell the difference between deer, elk, caribou, moose and antelope. A sagebrush fed animal vs an alfalfa fed animal, yes, but all else the same I cannot differentiate species.
Same with white meated birds like pheasant, quail and ruffed grouse, and the same with dark meated birds like spruce grouse, sharptail grouse. Likewise with white, flakey meat fish like bass, walleye and crappie.
My favorite is the white, flaky meated fish. So damn good when fried.

Las, being a goat, i was surprised to see it on somenes fav list. Im wondering if you could enlighten us as to the difference in an old billy vs a nanny. I have passed on shooting some large Auodad rams due to reports on the meat. Now, if im ever out and about and get an oppurtunity at a 3/4 grown female i will probably pull the trigger.

T Man, you know now that I think about it I probably couldn't tell the difference between a deer or antelope that came from the same country.

Deer are like Humpies to me in that I turn them into pepperoni and jerky unless it’s a Sitka Blacktail, they’re delicious. Is it their diet that makes them taste so?

longarm; Good evening to you sir, I trust that the week has been a good one for you thus far and this finds you well.
Like a few others here, I've been blessed to have sampled a whole bunch of different wild game, but honestly sometimes without eating some of it side by side I wouldn't want to start a debate over "best".
More or less for me - as best as I can recall - it'd be: 1. Sitka blacktail - I got a young buck in August who was fat as a tick - it was outstanding table fare. 2. Calf moose - very mild flavor I guess - but tender too. 3. Young bull moose - again early season - say September 4. Young black bear - taken from a vineyard or orchard - really has to be tasted to be appreciated. 5. Early season whitetail 6. Early season mulie bucks - off the east side of the valley taste better however, though I can't exactly say why that is. 7. Elk - haven't had lots but what I've eaten was from rutted, early season bulls and it wasn't that bad. 8. California Bighorn - I liked it okay but my good wife wasn't as impressed with it. 9. Pronghorn - had some pretty good and some less so. 10. Mountain goat - again a nanny was good, but the billy was not so good. 11. Bison - haven't had a whole lot, but some that was given to us was pretty much like grass fed beef I thought. 12. Caribou - I wasn't sure the chap cooking it got decent caribou or was the best at cooking it - or both?
Meat on the fly: California Quail - really can't be beat Chukar Partridge - nice flavor but I recall it being a bit dry. Young Ruffed Grouse - usually quite tasty.
Miscellaneous wild table fare; Snowshoe hare - can be really tasty - or less so - again I'm not sure why. Cougar - that which I've been given to try was really pretty decent eating
Fish; 1. Ling Cod 2. Rock Fish 3. Yellow Perch 4. Walleye 5. Coho Salmon
Foreign stuff; 1. Zebra 2. Kongoni 3. Klipspringer
I think that's about it for now.
Thanks for the interesting reading all and all the best to you all this summer.

Nannies are better, but young billies are not much different. An old Billie before significant hanging time makes tough burger. But goats are slow reproducing and nannies should always be avoided.
