The elk I've eaten was really good, kind of between WT deer and beef. A friend served up Texas nilgai and New Mexico pronghorn, both were good but he is a cajun coonass that knows how to cook game. We eat a good bit of WT deer ground meat but corn fed beef is my favorite. I've decided not to eat any more scavengers such as bear and hog. A bear will eat anything I'm told and I have witnessed wild hogs eating decaying carcasses. The exception is smoked hocks from captivity raised pork. When We shoot a hog I carefully get a rope around a hoof and drag it off. After a couple of friends found worms in the meat I lost my appetite. Moses was right.

Haha. You don’t live in my head F A G so don’t bother. Giving you what you give others. And will keep doing it too. Worthless piece of crap.. When you gonna eat a bullet in the mouth? Waiting for the great news... Hurry up.
I've killed whitetail, mule deer, elk, antelope, cougar, moose and caribou. In addition I've eaten black bear, Dall sheep, mountain goat, and musk ox.
It would be a tough call between all of them. It would probably be a toss up between antelope and Dall sheep. And they would be barely ahead of moose, elk, musk ox and mountain goat.
Early caribou is excellent, bull or cow. The bulls past mid September are pretty strong. Bull moose can get pretty rank during the rut. The only bad mule deer I ever had was one I shot that had been wounded previously. Back leg was broken and the right hind quarter was hot to the touch. Not just normal body warm but hot. It was hard eating that one, but we were pretty poor back then.
I've eaten a few whitetails from heavy forest that were kind of strong but not inedible. I eaten a lot more from wheat country that were excellent. Same for mule deer. Spring black bear or a high country fall black bear have always been good eating, at least the ones shared with me. Cougar is lean and very good eating. I've not had the opportunity to try blacktail deer though have heard nothing but rave reviews of it.
Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.
E. Colorado Pronghorn E. Colorado whitetail E. Colorado elk Rocky Mtn. Bighorn sheep.
A note on pronghorns: Location and diet, in addition to field care, makes all the difference in how they taste. I began my pronghorn hunting while I lived in Wyoming, and hunted an area west of Casper. After shooting several goats, I gave up on hunting them for a while- the meat was so strong and gamey that you had to sneak up on the kitchen to turn over the steaks! Then, I moved to Colorado, and began bowhunting for pronghorns. Same field care, but a world of difference in the quality of table fare. Moved the antelope to the top of my list for wild game.
As far as exotic species go, its:

Got a buddy who is going to give this lizard a try tonight after a successful spot-and-stalk this morning. 🤣

What the heck kind of lizard is that?
Iguana. South Florida has become overrun with them.
