wid meat
 
Whats the best wild meat you guys have ever tasted. I hear black bear is great but have yet to try it, so I' d have to say moose gets the top vote so far.

Right now I have a freezer full of elk, deer, moose (given to me by a friend), grouse, and quail. I love it all, but if I had to choose, it' d be elk!:D

4 grouse/ cotton tail
5 antelope
6 buffalo

The best wild game meat I have ever had is Hartabeast with Zebra being a close 2nd. The best semireadily available that I have had is Cariboo. Then probably rabbit and quail.

Mule deer is very good,had bear once from an old boar I harvested up in Maine.I did' nt care for it,a bit strong.Maybe because it was from an older Bear.

Caribou, moose and then ruffed grouse. And by the way, it really can be hard to beat a young black bear roast. The worst, an old boar black bear.

A well conditioned spring spiker deer.
Sika and Fallow are real good.
Nothing wrong with Wapiti.
Also have to include Roast Wild Boar on the list.
Haven' t tasted Moose or Bear.

Axis deer. Wild turkey is high on my list too.

When I was in the Peace Corps (Zaire) pangolin aka scaly anteater was the primo bush meat. So good they' re endangered just about everywhere they live.[I didn' t know it at the time and regret killing the 3 I got back then]

I believe it has a lot to do with what a animal is feeding on , But after trying most of everything , I would say Caribou is my favorite, with moose running not far behind...BT

RE: wid meat
 
well, i dont think there is much that i dont like, but probably deer, and then the rest

Moose and Elk run a tie for my fav. A close second is whitetail deer, antelope, caribou & upland game. Following up in third is geese, ducks and mule deer. The best I ever tasted was bighorn sheep...but since i can't hunt them I ain't picking them. The worst I ever tasted was black bear shot here in Saskatchewan but I have heard mountains bears provide better table eats.

Elk, Deer Black Bear. Gotta cook Bear slow. Bear roast in the crock pot is good as food gets.

I like it all, but if I had to choose one it would have to be elk and deer, followed closely by bear and antelope. With all of you talking about how good moose is, it makes me want to hunt them more and more....:D

1. Moose (I've only had elk twice but both times it would tie with moose)
2. Whitetail
3. Caribou
4. Ruffled grouse
5. Pheasant
6. Cottontail
I've never been a big fan of bear. I usually only keep a couple of roasts for the slow cooker, and make the rest into pepperettes, and sausage. The only reason I even buy a bear tag every fall is that since the government banned spring hunting, I've noticed a substantial increase in bear numbers on my families land. I don't mind seeing the odd bear, but when there gets to be so many, they start becoming a real pain in the a$$. Last year our trash shed went through 2 plywood doors.
