What’s the best wild game meat?

[Sportsdad80]

I’d have to say moose is my favorite. Definitely rich in flavor.

Wild hogs are the best.

Axis, but I haven’t had Moose yet.

My vote is for mallard duck, ruffled grouse and antelope

This last year I cooked up some moose, elk, and bighorn sheep the same way and did a blind taste test for myself. There were some minor nuances but overall there really wasn't much difference to me. My family concurred.

I have found pronghorn antelope to be my current favorite.

My favorite is elk, but I haven’t had moose. My dad grew up in Alaska and ate a lot of moose and says it’s the only thing he’s had better than elk.

Another vote for antelope as my current favorite

First dove fry of the season is a tuff one to beat for me.

Reverse seared antelope backstrap is great.
Elk steak cooked medium rare is great.
Elk burgers are pretty awesome.
Wild turkey bacon burger is really hard to beat on the smoker.
Moose in any form is great if prepared well.
Teal are fantastic and dove poppers are a unique treat.
Pineapple Habanero Goose jerky never lasts long in my family.
My family still loves to eat whitetail even though we have eaten over 100 of them.
I even really like high country mule deer in several dishes.

Really hard to choose but if I had to pick a wild game meal for tonight it would be...

Slow roasted blue grouse with parmesan crust baked walleye and a couple of solid side dishes. That meal ranks up there.

What is the best? For my family that answer changes weekly.

I'd have to say Elk is my favorite followed up by Ruffed Grouse.

I’d say my current favorite is antelope followed by elk then axis deer.

If you add birds to the list it’s hard to beat a Midwest mallard that’s been eating corn.

Lynx and antelope are some of the best I've personally eaten

 

[Ridge Ghost]

Axis, followed by pronghorn and elk

 

[sndmn11]

Axis was the best meat I have had, and sadly, it was one time. Pronghorn after that, bear next, moose/muley/whitetail/caribou, and then elk.

I had a cackler goose last year that may have been the best meat I've ever eaten, dad agreed. Looking forward to taking more geese this year.

 

[RS3579]

Moose! The one I had was From New Foundland.

 

[gelton]

Axis, elk, antelope, whitetail...never had moose or nalgai though.

 

[FLATHEAD]

So far, nothing beats acorn fed Appalachian Whitetail.
Havent had a lot of western stuff, but have had Gemsbok. Not bad, just kind of bland.
Hope to try Elk, Nilgai, Axis, Antelope, Bear before this game is over.

 

[TSimons9]

Definitely have not had all types of game but my standout favorites are Coues deer and mountain lion.
