What’s the best wild game meat?

[OrangeMan73]

Ground squirrel.

I guess I would try seal, like you describe, if I had a chance. But I know I will not be trying any more seal oil on my raw caribou liver! Ever!

I could definately see how that wouldn't work out too well. The bottled stuff is trimmed in a way that there is just the right amount of fat. The fat is where all the flavor is so its understandable how pure oil would be overwhelming.

India Black buck or Axis is my personal favorite.

Another vote for black bear.

Black tail deer. Hands down the best meat in Alaska.
Moose is like a richer beef. It’s the staple at our house.
Swan is supposed to be fabulous.
Most of the birds are great.
Black bear and brownies are a great pork alternative. When it’s good it’s great. When they’ve been eating salmon or rotting meat they are just about inedible.

We eat a lot of moose and caribou in our house, probably 80% of everything we eat because it’s a sure thing every year. We have red/king/silver salmon, halibut, rockfish, black bass, and rainbow trout for the rest. My buddy just got a boat though so I’m planning on plenty of black tail this year.

Could not agree more! My wife wants me to quit hunting whitetail and just chase Nilgai down in South Texas now!

Loved my Newfoundland moose. It tasted beefier than beef.

Elk first, moose second, the way things are going at the food markets the neighbors cat might get thrown in there.

Nilgai is a tie with Oryx in my house. Family ate every bit and that is not a small amount of meat.

Yellowtail. But lacking a boat, and living in CO. I love elk, hands down.

Yellowtail Tuna. But lacking a boat, and living in CO. I love elk, hands down.

Do you mean yellowfin tuna. Yellowtail are in the jack family not tuna.

I meant Yellowtail (AHI)... But, I'm landlocked. and probably confused. Thought for some reason they were a Tuna, learn something every day... Regardless, they are delicious.

Yellow tail is a white meat while yellow fin is more on the red side. First yellow tail I caught, I made the mistake of asking how to prepare tuna, I was informed about the difference in no uncertain terms.

Yellowfin sashimi straight out of the ocean is fantastic. But I like the white meat yellowtail the best. Really any of the freshly caught ocean fish would probably top elk... but it is much easier to keep the freezer full of elk...

 

[Gargantuan]

Elk, followed closely by sika

 

[whaack]

Best I’ve ever had is elk. By a long shot.

Yellowtail is pretty high on the list. But I'd eat spot prawns every day if I could.
