my favorite is Pronghorn Antelope, but only if skinned and butchered the proper way.

They all taste great but elk and antelope are right at the top for us followed closely by mule deer. We've noticed that females consistently taste better than males but it doesn't stop me from trying to shoot big ones! I shot a bull calf moose on an antlerless draw tag one year and my wife still raves about him...LOL. When we had tons of deer I always made sure to get some doe tags and try to shoot one since they tasted so good. Haven't done that in a while since our deer numbers have crashed.

Dall Sheep
Moose

When I first moved here I met a Native Elder in Seldovia who taught me that black bear can be one of the very best meats available, but the key to determine a shooter is to look at the anus. I said what for? He says if the anus is purple it has been on the berries a while and is a shooter.

I really like mountain goat as well (based only on having it from several different animals.)

We have a walk-in cooler and age our deer 5-7 days. We field dress as soon as possible and hang in the cooler with the hide on. Leaving the hide on, prevents them from drying out.

Lots of variables but if, somehow, all things could be equal including care and condition of animal and prep: I would say fall Black Bear that has been feeding on berries and acorns is about as good as it gets for me.

Moose followed by pronghorn ... most of my early season elk and deer have been mighty tasty also but my young bull Moose was certainly the best.

For me, This is the order I have from what big game I have eaten:

Bison
Red Deer
Elk
Hog
Whitetail
Javelina
Mule Deer
domestic hog
Beef
Exotic Sheep

All are great to eat for me. For the record, I can't stand lamb or goat, which probably explains the exotic sheep being so low on the list.

Not a long list for me, but hoping to add to it!

I had to read all the way to page 3 to find my favorite on anybody's list, and it was number two? Squirrel. Hands down.

I want Moose!

Danny Rowan · « **Reply #52 on:** October 21, 2015, 02:06:00 PM »

Elk
Bison
Sika Deer
Axis Deer
Sambar deer
White Tail

Love me some spanish goat also, when I was a kid growing up in Texas, all the ranchers that allowed me to hunt their land gave me the green light to kill any seen as they did not want them crossing with their angoras. Dad could cook up a fine barbeque goat.

Bighorn sheep is really good. A juicy young spike bull elk or cow is great too. Haven't tasted axis deer. But those who have say it is great.

Vanilla Ice Cream!

Seriously...I love free range Bison tenderloins! can't say that I've had "wild".

It has to be whitetail for me, I corn feed them, I put a halter on them, I tie them to a stake under my favorite tree stand, I hunt them for religiously for a month and still I miss.

ron w · « **Reply #56 on:** October 21, 2015, 09:50:00 PM »

Moose and elk are at the top of my list. I shot an Antelope in Wyoming back in the 90's that I thought was excellent eating......but I like sage as a spice. Whitetail and mule deer I can eat anytime......it's all good to me.

Stump73 · « **Reply #57 on:** October 22, 2015, 11:00:00 AM »

Mt lion was probably my favorite.
I eat Whitetail and rabbit all the time.
The rest of the list is what I have tried and I like it all.
bear
wild hog
caribou
elk
moose
ram
bison
quail
dove
The only that I didnt for was kangaroo.

I can't imagine anything better than a young farmland raised whitetail... but whitetail is the only thing I've tried from your list. I know for a fact that whitetail can vary from divine to pretty much inedible even if they came from the same area. A lot depends on how you handle it after the kill but there just isn't too much you can do that will make a big old rut crazed buck fit for anything except hat racks and summer sausage...but I still love hunting them..BeauJ
