Fresh, tender, small, young bambi loins with butter and not much else. Hold the spots... or not.

Deer first, elk second. I've only had antelope once. I liked it, the people who shot it and cooked it did not.
Most of the hoofed herbivores taste pretty good. Buffalo is good, caribou is good, reindeer is good, but I've only had them as prepared by others so I can't give them the same head to head comparison I can with things I've cooked myself.
I don't like bear.
Quail and grouse are good ... a little tricky to keep them from getting dry 'cause don't like my food draped in foo foo [bleep], I want to taste what it really tastes like.
I'm not particularly fond of duck or goose. Shoot and release.

I like most that I've tried. Stand all time favorites are grouse, moose, and venison. I've only had bear twice, almost had to spit it out the first time and went back for seconds last time I had it - so the jury is still out on it.

Overall...caribou from north of the Brooks. next, N.E. Alabama white tail
Sausage ..... musk ox
Fish...halibut
Birds .... wild quail and S. Ga. duck

- never tried it - Best use is mixed with deer or beef in sausage to be honest. Second best use is to let it rot where shot in the field then come back the next day and shoot the other hogs eating on it.
Otto is my co-pilot.

Bobwhite Quail - due to a number of factors they've been gone around here for years. Ruffed Grouse - Thanks to the tree huggers stopping forest management they are about gone too.

Nobody likes woodcock??? Chunk it into bite size pieces and saute lightly in garlic salt and butter and just toothpick the chunks out of the pan??? Native lake trout out of Nipigon or native redfins out of Superior? Native specs out of Nipigon? Grouse in butter with a little salt and pepper is hard to beat. Any walleye on a plate within an hour is fantastic. Whitetail fawns are mighty tasty.
I've had wild hogs, antelope, elk, bear, rattlesnake, most species of ducks, upland birds and geese, goat but never moose. Have had some prepared poorly that I didn't like, but never run into a species that when well prepared wasn't pretty darn good.

Elk is the best I have ever had.
I like to eat doves and woodducks if they are cooked right.

So far, elk is my favorite. Except for the elk I shot a few years back, all the wild game I have eaten has been from the Southeast.
How does antelope, mule deer, moose, and caribou rank? Anyone like bear meat? Several "meats" have been good! Big game depends so much on how its dispatched, gutted/dressed/cooled/transported from the field, how is cured/hung/aged, butchered/wrapped, and then finally prepared! DOVE quail grouse chukar pheasant ...... are excellent light fowls. Pronghorns whitetail deer moose and elk have all been excellent (at times, but not EVERY time I've eaten it) Brook trout sockeye king salmon ...... rate high on the fish-list.

I like Quail, Grouse, and deer.
I tried elk jerky once, it was ok, and the bear jerky i had was good too. Never really had an elk steak. I hope to fix that this year.

Nilgia,elk,axis deer,whitetail deer,mule deer are some of the ones I really like.My list could be quite long.I really think wild game is a much healthier form of meat these days.
