I only had it once but I would love it again

Caribou

Moose

Fall corn/ sunflower fed black bear.

Never had caribou but sure like moose

Raw deer liver still steaming after field dressing.

Just kidding, that just about made me puke.

I really like rabbit stew.

Grouse

Good god I had liver once and two days later I was still retching thinking about it ha ha ha

Beaver - makes a great stew.

I love cooked liver. But just HAD to the the whole cut it out of the deer and eat it thing, like the bison in Dances With Wolves.

Bison

Ruffed Grouse.

pan fryd squirrel n gravy

Cubed deer tloin.

Moose is dang good. I can attest to caribou too. Antelope, elk, etc., but variety is the spice of life. A little of everything is what I like in my freezer. Oh and scallops seared in butter

Hands down Caribou

Quail

Pan Fried Squirrel, Fresh baked butternut squash, corn on the cob, Just like mom and now my wife make!

Moose

Funny how the top choices are moose and squirrel

Capybara's

Fried Muskrat! :-)))))))))

Also love possums skunks and grey fox

Like them all, but grouse are the best tasting bird ever.

.......I just realized we're taking about critters to eat.....

Elk backstraps in a cast iron pan with butter, onions and mushrooms over a fire.

Wolfie that is okay ha ha!!!!

Thought you were just extra southern lol

Love the pics Wolfdog!!!!!!!!!

I'll take any of the above, they are all good. I haven't had black bear in many years, so maybe my favorite in my dreams. Christine tried her first pulled beaver sammy a couple weeks ago, so now guess who will be getting his feet wet this winter.

Antelope backstraps on the grill

Dall sheep

You got It 114. Dall sheep ribs are some great eating.

Beaver, in stew fried or ground with pork added, all good. second would be bear.

Axis deer.

Surf and turf

Walleye and venison tenderloin

black bear and antalope

Duck

Pheasant, elk and bison.

squirrel, beaver next caribou, is good

Beaver slow roast.

Dove, pigeon, squirrel and rabbit, pretty much in that order.

Oh yeah, forgot beaver, beaver is definitely in the top five.

Grouse, deer, walleye and crappie. Eric

Amen brother.
I’ve had it all, quite literally, and this is the one I crave.

caribou tops my list.

Venison heart.

My uncle served us Caribou once. We’d chew until the flavour was gone and spit it out…lol
I’d have to say moose but there’s lots I haven’t tried.

Whitetail back strap cut in bite size pieces with only flour/salt/pepper on it fried in a iron skillet only using crisco shortening with fried taters and pinto beans on the stove and a big ol pan of homemade biscuits!!!! My bride is the best !!!!!

For birds, quail, ruffed grouse, blue grouse.

4 legs, elk, moose, caribou. But all the rest are good.

And I do eat a lot of Illinois whitetail.

I like turkey and wild pig as my top two. Been on a mission to kill a bear here the last couple years because I have heard they are excellent, but havent got there yet

Eland

moose

I like most all wild game,,but to answer the question-#1 Elk Backstrap- #2 Cottontail Rabitt

Mountain Lion back straps are better then elk back straps. Lynx meat Is pretty darn good.

Never tried it but I certainly would.

Duck breast, turkey breast, deer backstraps, dove

Blk Bear

Antelope and Iowa whitetail deer.

Birds: Ruffed grouse.
Wild turkey breast pounded and deep fried with fish-n-chips batter, of slow cooked in a crock pot.

Mammals: Beaver is the most beefiest tasting meat out there. It has the texture of flank steak, but the flavor of a porterhouse.
Sika. Way better than venison.
Squirrel roasted in a roasting bag.

Amphibians: Frog legs. Sort them into batches by size so that you can ensure that the doneness is consistent.

Fish: Sunfish with skin on.
Yellow perch.
Walleye.

I have eating favorites and hunting favorites

venison back straps in butter and mushrooms is really good eating

Pheasant is a blast to hunt with a long season hunt the middle of the day shoot the bull while your hunting , keep walking around , no sitting and getting cold.

I like hunting deer also but get so few days of the year to do it , I feel pressure to fill the freezer or get the kids in the party a deer.

pheasant is just relaxing.

this last year I got two deer on the Sunday of opening weekend , one of the kids I was mentoring my cousins kid that I tried so hard to get him on a deer Saturday went home Sunday morning because his grandma died on Saturday.

so there was no pressure to get him a deer , I had a big road kill in the freezer and a downer cow so no pressure to fill the freezer. I went and sat on a log and the first deer happened , I was taking a break from butchering the first one mid day to go check on my son and the second one happened walking out , just ran right at me so I had to shoot it.
my brother shot one in the morning also so by end of the day I had 3 cut up before sundown.

Gray squirrels

No ones mentioned sand hill crane. I've eaten a few and It's fair table fare.

Pan fried breast of Robin !!!!

Mmmmmmmm !!!!

w

I imagine robin breast would be good. My granddaughter and I killed a bunch of starlings last fall and feasted on them tasted very similar to dove which is about my favorite game bird to eat.

I guess robin would be similar.

I'd be happy to try it , if you can get the season going here in WI

I had to go with what I have access to as my favorite.

black bear

This is my favorite also.

1. Lynx backstrap.
2. Dall sheep ribs over campfire.
3. Bison hams

Jack

Small, dark meat breast, but really tasty !!!!

Mountain lion and bobcat are probably my favorite but I like almost all. I am not a fan of duck or goose.

There's so many. Antelope. Blacktail deer liver. Salmon. Abalone. Elk heart.

Dall's sheep.

Kind of funny. I just Googled Dall's sheep.
Under the heading; "Taste", it says; "The meat is edible although it will have a gamey taste". That is the farthest from the truth you can get, it is generally regarded as the least gamey wild game there is.

Reading further in the same paragraph it says; "At Texas Hunt Lodge you can hunt Texas Dall sheep", it's no wonder they taste like crap. I can hardly believe that folks pay to hunt what are essentially barnyard goats/sheep.

Caribou, CHAR (caught in salt water), and speckle belly goose top my list.

I see a lot of folks have mentioned caribou. I could almost concur with that if I hadn't had to eat one once that was rutty. Rutty bull caribou are just about inedible, not just gamey.
Caribou is definitely one of the best however.

Rabbit and nilgai

Didn’t have to pay for it. Ranch had 2 rams in a heard that had black feet. They had been trying to kill them for months with no success. Got the call. Buddy and I found them and both rams jumped up on a bolder at 150 yards. One of the funnest hunts I’ve ever been on. Still can’t figure how the couldn’t get them killed but I was glad to help.

I've hunted them In Alaska.
Pete you have most of Sept, Oct and Nov and Dec to hunt deer. That's a lot of days to put venison In the freezer.

Isn't that the truth !! Absolutely the most inedible game meat I have tried to eat.

I'll take ruffed grouse, Pronghorn, and abalone any time

X2 for specs. A Canadian goose with white fat. Take breast and treat it like back strap. Cut medallions dry rub pan fry medium rare. Better than back strap because it is more tender, otherwise identical

Frog Legs

Bighorn Sheep

As others have stated, ruffed grouse

Bryce

Hands down Sitka Blacktail Deer.

I've always been kind of partial to pheasant. I like it cooked slow, something like pheasant and dumplings or even pheasant soup. It has more flavor than chicken. It's okay roasted, but I struggle to not dry it out.

If it flies....grouse
If it walks...moose
If it swims....walleye or perch
Sure is hard to narrow it down....

I was going to say Twister until I realized I had misunderstood the question.....

Venison

I never ate any meat I thought inedible. ( coyote was the worst) Lots of good ones mentioned. have not tried them all. Moose, elk oryx rabbit squirrel, pheasant quail venison beaver, all make a mighty fine meal. Fire cooked aged corn fed beef rib eye is still my favorite.

Antelope and grouse



Fishy fish .....no thanks


Sturgeon and halibut.........good

Moose and grouse.

As to caribou….kill a stag that’s in rut, they are inedible. You can detect a smell in the fresh blood. Even the regulation digest in Newfoundland/ Labrador advises not to shoot rutting stags.

With feathers.. young sandhill crane.

With fins freshwater..cold water musky.

Animals.. toooo many to list as exampled previous to my post.

Osky

Wild sheep and antelope

When it comes to horned/antlered game I have one absolute favorite......Moose. I also very much enjoy Ruffed Grouse, Pheasant, Snapping Turtle (fried), Brook Trout, Flathead...........oh crap, I like about all wild game and fish.

Pheasant
Blue grouse
Scaled quail

All three the same way. Fillet the meat off the bone, dredge in milk & egg, then in ground saltine cracker. salt n pepper. Brown over fairly high heat to stick the dating on, and then steam fry till done. Ya wanna cover but let the steam escape the pan while finishing.

Scaled quail easily surpass the other two but availability can be a challenge.

WOW, my initial thought was muskrat and quail/grouse.
But this list puts many items on an even keel.
So, I find it hard to discriminate on this one ...... but now I AM hungry
Imagine a restaurant with all of the above on the menu.
Would be a nice joint, for sure !

Beaver, but possum is pretty good too.

There always 1 guy in the crowd.

Beaver

The Lonesome Dove reference is not lost on me.

Granddaughter just told me she wants to try possum the trapping season.

Sturgeon is definitely at the top of the list

Good thing they are plentiful!!

I'll bring the possum!

> 4’ gator

sitka black tail deer

Ruffed Grouse, Pheasant, Elk. In that order.
If you count fish, Salmon, Perch, Walleye, Sunfish. In that order.
