Best-Tasting Game

Pheasant and grouse are both pretty good. Young rabbits and yearling deer are also fairly tasty, but a little bit gamier.

I've eaten porcupine and peacock as well and they were also very good. Porcupine tastes very much like beef, but has a few more sinews. Peacock tastes just like pheasant.
 
Wrong forum but...

Rabbit, Quail, Deer and Elk are my choices.

I don't have a lot of experience, but the best I've ever tasted was antelope.
 
I have tried deer, quail, and rabbit. The deer was made into jerky, the quail was made on a grill, IIRC, and the rabbit was right off of the camp fire. I have to say I liked the rabbit the best. I've heard good things about rattlesnake, though. I'm looking forward to that one.
 
I vote elk. sumpnz brought some to a shoot-n-camp a few years ago and it was delectable.

Some years ago a friend shot a very young black bear. It was very tender and truly delicious. Apparently, bears don't get tough and stringy until they become adolescents.

For upland bird, I have to say that chukkar is about the best I have ever eaten. Pheasant and grouse are pretty good as well. For big-game, buffalo. For big game that can't be easily bought in the store, my vote is elk.

On the flip side, I don't like duck or goose, which explains my not hunting them at all. I know a lot of people think a fat goose is manna from heaven, but for whatever reason I have just not ever cared for it. I have tried many, many preparations in hopes that I find something about goose that I like, and I ahve yet to find the one that works...
