Just the meat...like a steak or however the meat is usually eaten .....not "as used in _______ recipe." So what is the best wild game steak/meat?
Elk? Moose? Frog legs? Wendy from accounting?

Elk
Moose Dove Blue winged teal I forgot woodchuck. No bullshit, my cheapskate friend would shoot them and cook them. He convinced me that they are vegetarians and live “clean”, so I tried it. I was pretty amazed. |

Handling has everything to do with it. Well that and prep and cooking.
Overall easiest is antelopes. They seem less game if if there are some screw ups |

General consensus is moose, but I would say dall sheep is likely the best...Well taken care of and properly processed moose will come very close to tasting like quality beef..few do it right......We spent a lot of time and money getting it right, and our meat shows it...

Diet of the animal is more important. Antelope from the plains sucks. Antelope from an alfalfa field...Amazing.
My list... Caribou Moose Elk White tail from a alfalfa, bean, or grass farm |

Shoot, drive out pick them up, then haul back to camp. To sample the meat, lift the tail, lick the butt, and you have the taste of your meat right then and there. The downside, for me, is the meat. Tried it all kinds of different ways and they were just not tasty. Tolerable was jerky, but it sure was tough. |

Elk is by far the best stuff I've had, and I've had it that fed on a variety of food sources and can't tell much difference.
I'm not saying something else isn't better - I'd love to try Moose and wild sheep - but elk is the best I've had by far. |

My area it's 100lb feral pig and doe whitetail deer,
The bucks are edible too, but you got to soak the meat in bit of salt water for several days to get most the gamey out. |

The meat was great! Do you ever go for black bear? I just got my first one in September. I’ve only made chili with it so far but it’s great! It’s ground meat and tastes like beef. I also made bear lard with the fat and I honestly can’t tell the difference between bear lard and pork lard.

Frog legs are damn good Oysters are better But as far as red meat like deer I would say elk is damn good But I would take a 100 pound wild hog over most any game animal |

Sandhill crane, dove, whitetail, catfish. I could eat those and be happy. Throw in some squirrel because I like them. I'm sure elk is awesome, but I've never tagged one.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Quail Fried quail is OMG good. Elk, Deer, Doll Sheep, Antelope, Aligator, Bear, etc. I can take or leave them depending on how it was cooked. Bison is pretty much grass fed steak. Everyone loves steak. Have no idea how people eat Phesant or Dove. (yuck) Sandhill is rarefied atmosphere indeed  |

Florida. Smaller is generally tastier. Spiney lobster and white tail deer backstrap, cannot be beaten. I've had moose, elk, goat, bison, caribou, bear...you name it.
Our Osceola turkey fondue gets fought over as well. Tough elements make tough meat. Sorry losers. |
