What do you like best.

Just looking to see what kind of taste we all have

MuleySniper · « **Reply #1 on:** January 05, 2008, 07:40:40 AM »

I know most people wont agree with me, but Ive tasted all the game listed above minus the cougar, and I think antelope by far is the best.

i have tasted all the above minus the caribou and i have to say cougar is the best, followed by a nice grain fed Whitie:)

Once you've eatin' moose you'll never go back....mostly because your freezer is so full of it.

Moose hands down. I have had most game cooked correctly or wrong. My vote is based on the average joe cooking some meat up. I had some Caribou once that literally made me gag. Worse then a fried up deer steak with no seasoning or prep. A few years later another guy cooked up some Caribou and it was really good.

Moose Roast is by far my favorite big game meat.

I've had people who have told me that Cougar is pretty tasty. I'm like if I ever kill a Cougar you can have it cause I'll be damned if I'm gonna eat a cat.

MuleySniper · « **Reply #6 on:** January 05, 2008, 01:05:12 PM »

I wont even make a joke about eating cougar!!

Antlershed · « **Reply #7 on:** January 05, 2008, 01:15:10 PM »

Only tasted a few of them, so I went with Elk.

robb92 · « **Reply #8 on:** January 05, 2008, 05:04:39 PM »

I went with elk, haven't had a chance to taste moose or cougar, or the lope.

Now I never tasted cougar but an old guide in Alaska that was raised on the Shoshoni rez near Lander, WY said it tasted like pork. Now I like pork so I'd give it a try if I had a chance. Hell, I've eaten everything the Filipinos could throw at me in Hawaii so eating cougar would be tame.

I thought it tasted like pork too. I thought I was just nuts.

Did he Filipinos give you Baloot

If you can do that you have got some stones!

Michelle_Nelson · « **Reply #11 on:** January 05, 2008, 11:03:18 PM »

No baloot, their is just something about eating an undeveloped pickled baby duckling that just makes me wanna

Coasthunterjay · « **Reply #12 on:** January 05, 2008, 11:12:27 PM »

Baloot isnt that bad. I stayed in the Phillipines for two months and ate it several times. ate lots of things. Not so bad if you can get past the crunchy feathers in your mouth taste........

sound familiar sisu?

Oh and michelle. having it pickeled would probably make it taste better but in actual fact they arent. they are just boiled. But theres more to it and im not going to go into details. bringing back the memories gives me nightmares, LOL

I love elk.

wastickslinger · « **Reply #14 on:** January 07, 2008, 10:39:25 PM »

According to another thread, coyote is a big hit now.

Hopefully lead injected.

I had some antelope steaks this fall that were pretty darn tasty. But I will have to go with moose.

popeshawnpaul · « **Reply #15 on:** January 08, 2008, 10:25:46 AM »

I got to disagree about the moose. The one I shot is tough as heck. I believe it tastes very similar to deer. The little three point elk I shot is the best tasting animal I have ever shot. No gamey flavor and tender. I suppose if I shot a young tender moose my feelings might be different... I've had all the rest but cougar, and I'll eat them all.

I've tasted everything listed and do have to say that Mountain Lion is probably the best. I've liked everything listed and would eat any of them again. I did eat one ewe bighorn that was not very damn good. But then again I have also had elk, deer, caribou and moose and antelope that wasn't all that tasty as well. I've eaten Lion from probably 6-7 different kills and it was good every time.

jstamp · « **Reply #17 on:** January 08, 2008, 08:58:33 PM »

Elk, and moose

6.5swede · « **Reply #18 on:** January 10, 2008, 06:31:51 AM »

My vote goes to elk. I think its all the hard work that I've had to put into every one that makes it taste so good!

edmondshunter · « **Reply #19 on:** January 12, 2008, 06:12:13 PM »

I went with Elk. Love a shoulder roast, back straps. Um UM good. Mix in some pork fat for a mean sausage.

Wild boar is my next fav.

How big was the boar? Mine wasn't big, about 165lbs but it tasted and smelled kinda pissy

What does pissy taste like?

I am hoping you had a typo....

Sorry, couldn't resist...

PacificNWhunter · « **Reply #23 on:** January 13, 2008, 02:11:51 PM »

I have to go with Moose, followed by Elk.

edmondshunter · « **Reply #24 on:** January 14, 2008, 08:34:28 PM »

Never saw the boar, not even sure about the origin either. I had it on a trip to Montana. The story behind it is that it was ferrel pig taken on a ranch, sorta damage control i guess. Anywho it was tasty, made pulled pork, burgers, and a chop or two.

WAcoueshunter · « **Reply #25 on:** January 14, 2008, 08:58:56 PM »

Just had some sirloin tip moose steaks...still tough to beat.

Headed to AZ for a hunt this week. On the menu Thursday is elk kabobs, Friday is moose burgers, Saturday is antelope backstrap, and Sunday...well, hopefully by then we'll be eating deer ribs. All cooked over mesquite. I'll give a report on the night by night comparison when I return.

Head-shot · « **Reply #26 on:** January 14, 2008, 09:01:45 PM »

good luck looking forward to the report.

Muleyslyr · « **Reply #27 on:** January 17, 2008, 02:49:31 PM »

I gotta admit, I'm a little surprised at all the Moose voters. I shot a Moose last year up in Alberta and it pretty much sucks. Totally disappointed in it.

My vote would go to Elk.....but I was one that voted other. That's only because going back to Africa this last October I ate Gemsbok (Oryx) just about every way you could and could not get enough. Can't even discribe how fuggin' good that meat is. I wish I could've brought some back.

Idabooner · « **Reply #28 on:** January 17, 2008, 04:08:31 PM »

In 1974 four of us went to Alberta, my friend got a paddle bull and I got a 51 incher, we split the meat 4 ways, the little one was good eaten, the big one even the stew meat was hard to eat, strong and tough. Since then I've shared 4 moose, all big ones and they have been very good, tender and very little wild flavor. I voted moose.

actionshooter · « **Reply #29 on:** January 17, 2008, 06:07:34 PM »

Idabooner, I had the same experience, A buddy and I killed 4 caribou out of Mulchatna. 3 were great 1 was HORRIBLE. Its hard to say if whats best if someone only tried 1 critter.

UBA · « **Reply #30 on:** January 17, 2008, 06:11:53 PM »

1. Spotted Owl
2. Bald Eagle
3. Skunk
4. Pack Rat

I'd have to go Oryx and Cougar. Both seem to be consistently excellent.
