Would like to get everyone’s opinion on wild game ranking. Given I have not killed and ate all species. But here are mine, please post up yours. Best to worst, I know things might be different depending on time of year and location.
Elk - all have been great
Antelope - all have been great
Black tail deer - all have been great
Wild pigs - very good
Moose (WY & Idaho) - both great
Mtn. Goat (Colorado) very good
Oryx (NM) - good , very dark and strong flavor
Mule deer (some have been great, some not
so much).
Desert Bighorn Ram (NV) - sort of edible
Rocky Big Horn (UT) - chocked down every bit
Smiling (185 3/8 net)
Might of missed something, but that’s my preference. Generally I really like wild game and have been very happy with taste except the bighorns and a few low sage country archery mule deer.
Hopefully try whitetail deer in the next few years. And maybe draw another bighorn tag so I can rate a good tasting one.
