favorite game meat

Wierdest is beaver. Seriously. We sometimes shoot them in the head with a rifle from a boat and skin them out. The backstraps are tasty. Best: Definitely elk.

Bison is excellent but pheasant if my favorite. Followed closely by turkey.

I reckon it depends on what you call weird. I've eaten plenty of turtle, frog legs, alligator but can't recommend baby octopus pickled in peanut oil.

My favorite meat has to be alligator or turtle. The weirdest i don't really know. But my papaw eats squirrel brains.

Favorite meat: Raccoon and squirrel

Wierdest /worst tasting: Hands down Opossum, tried cooking it multiple ways, never again unless I was starving

Don't you have to cut some kind of scent gland out of raccoon before its worth cooking? I heard that somewhere and wondered if it was true

Better be careful. That coon you're talking about is a skunk!!

There are small glands underneath the front legs(armpit) and at the base of the tail, not a big deal. Tastes as good or better than BBQ pork when done in the slow cooker.

ok trad archer wins on weirdest meat!

somehow my gma could cook a coon where it was so delicous it beat any other meat ive ever eatin.wish i had paid more atenttion to how she did it.ive cooked it many times since she died and it was good but nothing like what she made.

BY FAR the best: Dall Sheep. Not gamey, almost sort of sweet tasting.

Weirdest: Caiman

I grew up on deer and elk and continue to fill my freezer with it, so it's really nothing special to me from a cullinary standpoint. I like the lean-ness of it.

Moose is good, and buffalo (bison) is really tasty too.

Pigeon did nothing for me.

Favorite: quail

Weirdest: fruit bat

Best: Elk, Close second would be prairie grouse.

Wierdest: Minnow

in order

Moose
Caribou - Pronghorn - Elk
Mule Deer
Whitetail
Black Bear

Birds -
grouse
pheasant

Fowl
Snow goose
Wood duck
Mallard - Canada goose

Fish -
wow, they're all good, from Salmon down to bullheads - when they're fresh and cooked right

Rabbit....................

Rabbit and Elk. Antelope is a close second. My wife cooked some javelina in the slow cooker, shredded it, and made tacos out of it. Those were delicious as well. It's been so long since I have had deer that I don't remember if I like it or not.

Some birds and buffalo are the best of all.

the liver from a just-killed young whitetail dry doe that's been feeding near a corn or soybean field or apple orchard. grilled w/onions
quail, grouse or mallard that has been feeding around a cornfield stubble
squirrel likewise around corn field
swordfish or trout - hard choice
any animal that's been feeding around farm/orchard area is going to be tasty. feral hog, coon, rabbit etc. even possum. squash field, peanut patch (feral hog will really tear this up), soybean or any bean, apple orchard, turnip or beet, corn etc. squirrels are really tasty around corn fields. love young ones fryed, dumplings, oh my. I'm gonna raid my freezer have around dozen left.

Oral sex doesn't count.

Snapping turtle liver. Delicious! However, I've never been that hot on the meat, and I'm not gonna kill a turtle just for the liver, so the only time I have it any more is if someone gives me one 'cause they're afraid of it. It's color is a bit off when compared to beef liver, so some guys are afraid it's bad, so I jump on it...
