Which Big Game tastes Best

[actionshooter]

I find the harder it is to pack out the better it tastes.

How true!

I believe same day killed, Elk backstrap wrapped in bacon with mesquite garlic rub, cooked over an open fire. Throw in a couple BBQed grouse breast as appetizers.
Not much in life is better then that.

I agree that it is all in the preperation right from the time it is killed. I see so many guys not skin them out right away or not let them hang long enough or cut them up with all the fat and bone in. Take care of teh meat and it will eat just fine. I rarely have a bad peice of mule deer venison.

But I will say that moose and elk do have a little better flavor. 

I also had antelope steaks during elk season, thanks to Muleyniper's dad. Man it was good.

It has been awhile since I had bear, I can't really remember if I liked it? I was under the impression that predators do not taste good? Apparently by what I am reading here that impression may be false. Quite a few of you seem to like bear more then venison. I think I need to find out why. LOL

My top 4 would have to be...Elk, Deer, Moose, Goat.....

The moose i had was from alaska and was kinda gamey tasting...I will kill one here in this state one of these days...until then i will be eating elk and deer....I wonder if the area an animal comes from has an effect on the meat....

Um no....it is not good, don't kill one and don't eat it.

Assuming all animals have been cared for properly IMHO:

1. Moose
2. Antelope
3. Caribou
4. Elk
5. Whitetail
6. Mule Deer
7. Bear

Never had wild hog, courgar or any African game.  Obviously the diet of the particular animal can cause them to move up or down the list.  Young, grain fed Palouse whitey is a better succulent critter.

Any wild game on the end of my fork!!

Hang the mount in your dining room and stare at it while youre eating it, any big game will taste good that way

Dall Sheep!

Jack Oconner mentioned this in more then one of his books. After finally bagging one in Alaska this year, I must confess he was right!
