Hunting Forum

I have had the opportunity to eat many types of game. However, there are some I have not had. Moose and caribou being the top 2 I would like to get next. I am wondering how some of you rate those 2 vs. deer and elk.
     Also, while were at it lets rate a top 5. From the game you have enjoyed. Thanks to anyone who responds.

with the right chef they're all good

Moose is best I have tried but no Caribou....but your question was "Best Game Meat"----Eland filet, period, nothing else compares even when from an old bull! Aging not required!

IMHO the best game meat I ever had was my very first rabbit. Did all the work myself and even if some of it was a little well done and had some charbroiling on it ( I wasn't a great chef at 12 ) it was still the best I can remember. After that wild boar sausage over a hickory fire in camp was pretty darn good.

Ringneck pheasant.

I love elk, the meat is one of my all time favorites. I did find a meat that is not a traditional north american big game animal, but is well worth hunting, just hard to get a tag for. ORYX, can be hunted at White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico, and also on some private land hunts. The meat is tender, has a great flavor, and there is a fair amount for a full size bull or cow.

Fried wild Rabbit, Fried Squirrel and Baked Raccoon by some one who knows how to do it, then Deer and a young Groundhog fried.

in my opionin it would go moose, caribou, elk, white tale deer and from what i have heard oryx is suppose to be better then them all but never tred it (oryx).

I have always heard that moose was better than elk.  I really couldn't tell the difference.  They both taste the same to me. Bison is really good.  Javalina is next.  Rabbit and squirrel are tied.  About the same to me.

I like caribou and moose over most deer and elk, but the best eatin I ever had was Emu. Too bad they don't run around here.

Wild boar with quail a close second.

jack

Mt. lion is tasty. That's the only meat eater I've tried. The rest, their diet really effects the taste.

An Oryx steak is likely the best wild meat I have ever eaten. Kinda hard to get a good supply though. Venison tenderloins have to be second.

Top three red meats for me are Moose, Elk and Deer, in that order.  For birds I would choose quail, blue grouse and dove.  I wouldn't turn down a well cooked pheasant though.
