Now that hunting season is here, many are scoring on some great meat. And that brings me to this question...

Of all the species of deer, what is your favorite kind of Cervidae meat?

Elk was one of the best meats I ever had. I just wish that they were not so far away to hunt. As this is an animal I would like to have a lot of.

Moose was also very good. I enjoyed moose meat a great deal. Although I had it at a friends house and you'd swear the dog must have lifted his leg on it. It was pretty rank. I suspect he did not handle the meat properly or was just a terrible cook. I have cooked moose roasts and steaks and they were just incredible.

White tail deer is a common meat. I grew up eating it. I have eaten it all my life I guess you could say. There are some that claim they do not like Whitetail deer meat, but I suspect that the time they tried it, it was not made correctly. In fact my sister in law was one of them ... I hate deer meat people. So for Thanksgiving one year, I made the front shoulder of a fresh whitetail kill and told no one what it was. Her and the rest of them devoured that thing.

Mule deer... I am not sure if I have eaten it. I must have at some game feed, but I better not swear to it. I have never hunted them. But looking at the pictures of them, they look like a lot of fun to hunt and probably excellent eating as well.

Blacktail deer.. I have never eaten them. Are they like a whitetail in taste and texture?

Antelope was one meat that I liked when I ate it at a friends house. But then I had it another time and it tasted kind of goat like. Although it was good, the first time it was better. Perhaps they are one of those creatures that you are what you eat.

Caribou was all right made into sausage, but I had a steak of it and would not walk across the street for more of it. Again, maybe it was made wrong or it ate the wrong thing.

I had Red Stag at a game feed once. A farm raised some of them. And at the game feed there was a red stag roast. Now that was very good. It reminded me of elk.

I can not think of other types, but what is your favorite?
