Elk is my favorite. Every mule deer in the rut i have ate sucked. Stringy tough and horrible. The whitetail i have ate some have been fine others not so good. Blacktail in the rut most of the time taste worse than they smell, though i have killed a couple of stinkers that tasted really good. So what i do any more is if it smells when i kill it, it gets turned into sausage.

Are you kidding me!? Are you getting it cool fast, deboning it as you butcher? We never find poor tasting deer if done this way....

I definitely agree with the bone or fat on the steak....not really tasty....this is why we bone it out.

That Oryx I killed on the WSMR in Feb was pretty hard to beat, followed by Moose for me.

High country Bear is the best I've eaten, Elk is typically better than deer in my book. I do agree that you need to bone and remove all fat, grisle etc and it's all good.

Bear is good, if it's killed up high in the huckleberrys, if it's killed down low it tastes just like it smells. As for me I like th taste of mule deer better than blacktail, but I let mule deer hang around 5-7 days before butchering. I hear cougar tastes and looks just like pork, but have yet to try it (just something wrong about eating cat). My favorite, as with most, is elk.

Elk taste great but the best ever tasting game that I have ever eaten was a young whitetail buck that I shot a couple years ago.
