Favorite game meat AND how do you prepare it?

[Felonious Monk]

What's the most delicious game meat you've ever had, and HOW is it prepared?

For me, it's probably quail, rolled in egg and flour, salt & pepper, pan-fried in real butter.

How 'bout you?

Probably venison, but I've fixed it to many ways to list.
Some great recipes here...

antelope... i very rarely am capable of making the same exact recipe twice... i usually wrap it in bacon, but after that, anything goes; i have no pre-determined measurements, combinations, or even ingredients.

butter, teriyaki, worcestershire, green pepper, onion, ranch dressing, olive oil, brown sugar, apples, milk, orange juice, beer, soy sauce, seasoning salt, chili powder, cajun seasoning, garlic salt, onion powder, garlic cloves,... i use it all, and sometimes i even use it all at once.

brown sugar, teriyaki, and vegetables are sure to be in at a minimum...

then cook it... sometimes in the oven, sometimes on a skillet, sometimes covered, sometimes not...

basically, i cook by whatever 'feels' good at the time. and yes, my family does enjoy it.

my indian name means "eats much wild meat"
I agree with dakotasin that antelope is some good eating IF it is harvested and handled properly. some of the worst if not.
I like a buttery antelope stoganoff on egg noodles or better yet wild rice.
favorite is probably braised duck, crispy on the ouside and rare in the middle, sliced thin and served on a bed of spinach greens with sauteed morel mushrooms and a wildcherry glaze, accompanied by generous amounts of mature cabernet or zinfandel.

I love my mom's chicken-fried deer steaks. Excellent. Also venison chili is good stuff as is venison sausage. I don't make my own. I just finished off some jalapeno-cheese venison sausage that was great.

I've recently begun saving my venison backstraps as 8-10 inch pieces, instead of cutting them into steaks.

We rub them with salt and/or seasonings (Grub Rub is perfect), then cook them on the grill. Just blacken each side, leaving the inside pink.

It's delicious.

Love any of the deer species,,dwon my way we tend to soak the backstraps, some times in butter milk other times in the cheapest knock off of coke,
then slow grill over low coals.

My favorite is snapping turtle, cube it ,soak it in Lowerys and then sprinkle with seasoning salt, and make Kabobs with it.

Wild Hog ribs

Needs to be a teenager, bout 80 pounds is ideal. Shoot him mid-morning, jerk out the ribs. Apply some type of rub (simple salt and pepper works well) and set it in some type of pit with an off-set firebox. Get s smallish mesquite fire going, return after the evening hunt and devour with a couple of cold domestic brews...

IMHO, it's all good if cleaned and quickly cooled. I've gotten lazy and usually just load up the crock pot with venison, water, oinion soup mix and spices.

Grilled is good too, just have to be careful not to overcook the meat.

 

[SteveS]

I pretty much like anything, but I'd have to give a slight edge to moose. As for preparation...wrapped in bacon and cooked on a grill.

 

[St. Gunner]

Without a doubt...

Feral hog...

Ribs on the pit with black pepper, garlic, and Cayenne pepper

Hams chunked placed in a crock pot and make Carne Guisada from it(You can buy mix at the store)

Hams Chunked and stir fried with Veggies

Pork roast in the crock pot with rice and gravy.

Loins 2" thick beat with a meat tenderizer hammer until about 3/4" thick and then soaked in Lowry's Sesame Ginger marinade and cooked on the pit...

Just plain ol fried porkchops if you are feeling unhealthy like


Quail,

About anyway you can cook em, but deboned and fried with onions and green peppers is a favorite.

Or wrapped in Bacon with a jalapeno.

Ducks,

In Gumbo

Or marinated in Sesame Ginger marinade and chunked onto shish-k-bobs with bell pepper, onion, and pineapple and done on the pit...


Venison,

Ummm, you eat venison when hogs are around?

I like my backstraps fried and the rest ground, 35lbs of venison mixed with a 15lb untrimmed brisket and made into Sausage links. Some dried, some just smoked...

My favorite meat is venison, and I do not like fancy foods. When I eat something it does not need to have different flavors. So my favorite way to eat venison is just cut up into steaks and fried in a pan of butter, with a little pepper, and just a pinch of salt. To much seasoning ruins the taste for me.

 

[bean357]

Elk is probably our favorite, but any venison grilled (we like the monterey steak seasoning), ground venison makes a wicked good bbq meatball batch for superbowl or anytime!
or pheasant....sub for anything you use cut up chicken in-I usually make it creamed style, or marinate and use for fajitas or pizza, or use in a hotdish-brown chunks of meat w/a little sliced celery, onion. Season with pepper,salt, or your choice and spread chunks in baking pan. then pour over some mix of cream of mushroom/sour cream w/ sliced fresh shrooms, can add veggies in here either above or below soup mix if you like, then top with stove top mix and chunks of crackers and/or bread of your choice (rye bread chunks are prety tasty in this too). For the topping melt a little butter in water in microwave, add stove top mix stir until moistened, top the wild chicken! bake 350 for approx hour or until topping gets brown or until someone grabs it outta oven....
