A hare I shot in my youth in europa.
Pre-roasted the meat, made a perfect - unintended(!) - "puff pastry" crust and pie lid, added vegetables and juices, etc, and baked a perfect and very tasty hare pie. Regret; I have never duplicated this feat; I only wish I had recorded my precise pastry ingredients and ratios.
Always measure your ingredients and record them including methods, temperatures and times. That way when you get it right, you have a solid repeatable recipe.

I'd say elk, but I wasn't the one who shot it. I haven't gone elk hunting yet. Soon....

Javelina ain't TOO bad if you prep it right. Then again, is so danged dry, you need a chain saw to cut it. Best used for shredded meat for tamales, but the back straps are tasty, what little is there. Makes some pretty fine tamales, though. From what I've heard about bear meat, I think I might rather eat Javelina than bear if forced to eat one or the other. LOL But, I'd wanna be the one to butcher and prep it. It takes near a weak to soak the funk out of the crap. LOL

The best I have had was a small (25 lb?) feral hog. We marinated it in whatever we had on hand for a couple of hours, then smoked it over mesquite and live oak for 5-6 hours wrapped in foil. The last thirty minutes we opend the foil to char the exterior a bit. It was outstanding.
Mr. H&Hunter--You suggest that Waterbuck is not good to eat. I was told that many times, but when I finally got around to shooting one, I insisted, against the PH's wishes, that we prepare some. I had him instruct the blacks to skin it carefully and NOT let the oily hair come in contact with the carcass. That evening, or perhaps it was the next, we cooked it over coals (the PH and I both enjoyed cooking and had taken over the meat preparation for evening meals). The PH had no confidense and made sure that we also cooked several Kudu steaks. Guess what--the Waterbuck was gone first, much at the assistance of the PH. I asked him why he had said it was so bad, and asked why it was better this time? He then allowed as how he had never eaten it, but his dad had told him it was bad. Well, at any rate, that Waterbuck was excellent! I've never quizzed the PH as to whether or not he has eaten since. I've always wondered since just how many of those who say Waterbuck is inedible have actually tasted it, or if it was what dad told them. Also, being certain to keep any hair contact from the meat may have been critical.

Mr. Moosehunt,
I tried some waterbuck in South Africa several years ago. It could have choked a maggot off a gut pile.
Possibly it was the preparation but it was the nastiest crud I've ever tried. It tasted a mix between kerosene and bat dung.
Maybe I'll have another go this sumer in Zimbabwe if I get into a decent water buck.
Oh I forgot another horrible game meat I've had was a Persian Ibex billy.
It smelled and tasted like ten years of bad goat musk.

various game I took around a large corn field including opposum, squirell, whitetail deer, dove, duck, rabbit, grouse. corn fed is the best IMO. venison was really tender, the grilled liver with onions superb with brown rice and squash casserole. I lived in a farm area several years and the farmers let me range around - also an apple orchard nearby drew the game in. fattest game I've ever seen. coons also. 12 gauge magnum heaven.
#1 Eland
#2 Axis
#3 Nilgai (if a tender cut)
#4 American Bison (same as above)
#5 Wild Pig
#6 White-tail
Now, I've had Elk and it would be in the middle there somewhere but I wasn't the first to put the bullet in one. It's still really darn good.
Birds
#1 Pheasant
#2 Quail
#3 Turkey
#4 Dove (my boss called them flying livers, but I still like 'em)

Wild Boar. Shot a few while in Germany some years ago and those boys
some kind of good!
Some spuds, gravy and of course a cold beer . Everbody likes something,
so it`s wild boar for me.
