Worst Wild Game Meat

[bearpaw]

Why would anyone eat a muskrat?

Why would anyone eat a mudhen.... (because I was young and stupid....)

Don't they say "Variety Is The Spice of Life".

 :)about 40 years ago this "friend" forced me to drink a bunch of whiskey and then beer, I am not gonna name the town but it is on Hwy. 12, about 2:00am this chubby country gal slides up to me and asked if I wanted to go to a party.
I aint sure what it was but the next morning I could still taste it.

Pathfinder, sounds like you guys had a nice, greasy mature one!

Yeah, it was a big, buck male... He looked like a small warthog
After that experience, I never had the testicular fortitude to try another one... big, small, medium or otherwise.  I'll keep in mind that the bunny-sized ones taste like filet mignot...

Worst meat I ever ate was a from a big ewe rocky mt. bighorn that a buddy of mine drew a tag for.  Tough as hell and took the whole mutton taste that we've all tasted way too far.  Duck is pretty damn bad, I agree, merganser being the worst.  But that damn ewe sheep was inedible.  But worst animal I ever saw was a pack rat I killed one time.  I left that sumbitch laying out int he meadow in front of the cabin, damn crows wouldn't even touch it.  I went out and killed some gophers and left the next to the pack rat, crows would land and grab a gopher and drag it away from the pack rat before they'd eat the gopher.  Damn thing layed there for four day and nothing even touched it.  Grizzlies and coyotes walked through that meadow during those four days and never even touched the thing.

Seal and whale, while hunting in Alaska with the natives I got to try both of them. That is the nastiest, greaseist meat  have ever had. And the bad thing about it was you could not spit it out or it would be an insult.   That ranks right up there with eskimo ice cream!!!!!!!!!!

OK, I'm biting, what is Eskimo Ice Cream....

[JackOfAllTrades]

I could only vote for the one that I've eaten that was the nastiest. I'm sure that whale and seal are positively repulsive.

Dried Hooligan (over wood stove)  dipped in a jar of seal oil (sitting next to same wood stove) to
Hooligan= Alaskan name for smelt (similar)

OK, I'm biting, what is Eskimo Ice Cream....

A couple of different versions

The native people of Alaska have a distinct version of ice cream. It's not creamy ice cream as we know it, but a concoction made from reindeer fat or tallow, seal oil, freshly fallen snow or water, fresh berries, and sometimes ground fish. Air is whipped in by hand so that it slowly cools into foam. They call this Arctic treat akutaq, aqutuk, ackutuk, or Eskimo ice cream. Akutaq is a Yupik word that means mix them together.
Ingredients:
 
Fish (white fish, pike, or any kind of salmon) 3 to 4 pounds
Crisco/lard
Vegetable oil
Sugar
Berries (blue berries, salmon berries, cranberries, etc.) 1/2 gallon to a gallon

Whale

[bearpaw]

So what does whale taste like, I have always wondered? Is there any lean meat, or is it all fatty?

Crow....literally and figuratively

[WildfireArcher]

duck and goose are my least favorite... unless made into some tasty duck-a-roni

I tried some Kangaroo at a restaurant in Denmark.  It was the gamiest, nastiest crap you could imagine.  Possum is positively revolting, greasier than hell and tastes terrible, like rotten something.  We tried to eat a drum (bottom feeding fish in the midwest) that was like eating sick fish tasting rubber.  Yuk.  Killed a huge Tom in Missouri one fall that was easy, the toughest nastiest bird I have ever tasted.  Couldn't even tenderize it with the slow cooker.

All that I seen of it was greasy nasty fatty blubber. They sun dry it and then you chew on it
