Ok, what wild game have you eaten in your life? My list is probably fairly common and mundane:
Quail
Dove
Squirrel
Rabbit
Duck (mallard and wood duck)
Woodcock
Pheasant
Turkey
Coon (at Granny's)
Possum (at Grandma's)
White tailed deer
Black bear (not one I killed)
Elk
Fish it's perch, bass, crappie, catfish, walleye, trout, buffalo,
For the most part, I really like wild game, usually it's very easy to make it as mild as any domestic meat you can eat.

Cannot prove it but I suspect I have eaten Kangaroo because way back when I was in school we would get some kind of frozen patties and it said Australia right on the box and at the time we didn’t have any Pattie’s around that tasted like that. When we got to asking about how different they tasted the school said because they had soybeans in them!!!

Have eaten all the above and some I did not know. Great Grand Paw was a German and being in eastern Tenn. on Lake Norris. When we sat down to eat, I ask what kind of meat it was. Answer meat is meat eat it or go feed the stock. Never asked again but it was always good. Mama was a great cook.

Buddy used to host a game feast every winter. Guys always brought all the regular stuff, plus nearly anything else. Muskrat is actually good, groundhog is good as long as it's a young one. Eaten turtle dang near any way you can cook it. Bobcat was ok, but not my top pick. Not game, but Equine Burger is pretty good too....

I ate a lot of moose meat when I was up in Canada. Very good.
The best meat I have ever eaten is the ham from a female wild hog, cooked in a smoker for 10 hours on pecan wood.

BC30cal: "Bobcat???" A Lynx? Mind if I asked how it was prepared and did you actually enjoy it? Seriously curious. Thanks!
