Back to buffalo/Bison. When we were visiting South Dakota one year, we went out to fish at Mobridge, and ended up touring the black hills too. I had a Bison steak that was out of this world at a restaurant. Tender, not dried out, just a real wonderful meal. Then the girlfriend and I stopped at a little cafe for lunch and had a buffalo burger. That has to be the most nasty thing I ever tried to eat. Normally I can stomach anything but that was one time I just refused to eat it. To be honest it kind of smelt funny. Yet we purchased some buffalo steaks to cook on our grill (we were camping) and while tough to chew were very good. Buffalo seemed to me to be a "guessing game of what you would eat."
On another thread I started about game meats eaten, I listed Bison as one I'd like to try. Reading your post, I was t reminded of the Red Robin restaurant chain that use to sell bison burgers. Come to think of it, I've eaten 3 or 4 bison burgers. Theirs had less flavor than beef. It was still very good though, and quite lean. No doubt it's a very healthy meat.
