I know this has come up many times before but I just wanted to know which game animal has the best of the best meat. I haven't eaten too many but on the top of my list would be Nilgai and then oryx. Are there any meats that are better? Ive heard moose, caribou, and eland are really good. Also go ahead and post your lists from best to worst
Here's mine: Nilgai Oryx Elk Red deer Axis Fallow Blackbuck WT Sika
And how does mule deer taste?

Nilgai is my favorite for sure. Elk and Axis run a close second

I like axis the best, but i've heard nothing tops moose. Never had it, so i cant confirm. But sika elk and axis are great.

In my humble opinon, it's more the cook than the meat. A bad cook can make a rib eye taste like chit, but a good cook can make a raccoon taste like rib eye... Don't knock a meat, until it has been cooked by the right person!

Buffalo Fallow Elk Axis Red Deer Oryx WT and hopefully I will be able to add Mule Deer to this list in December.
If some animals are good at hunting and others are suitable for hunting, then the Gods must clearly smile on hunting.

Caribou tongue is awesome!
If you shoot a young deer because a neighbor will shoot it, you are that neighbor.

If you are talking just mammals, I would have to go with squirrel if cooked right. My next use to be Moose then Elk, but haven't had them in a long time. I have since really acquired the taste of whitetail.
If bird, it is ruffed grouse hands down, then quail, chukar, partridge, pheasant and turkey.

She went through at least 2 or 3 good fences and couple crappy laid down ones. The ranch we where own was 3k ..the ranch we ended up on was 3 sections/ 3 miles down the road ... The dogs bayed her in a shallow stock tank...
Then she got darted...and we about pulled the axle off the catch trailer getting her out.
She got dart again the next day when she jumped out of the shipping pens... Then we where screwed because we didn't have any where good to hold here until she got past the with draw period for the dart. So she got to stay in the catch trailer for two days until we found some taller pens
