Snow Geese, rats on a wing.
Just FYI, in North America, we have "Pronghorn". Africa has "Antelope" which are different animals. |

Maybe just me, but I've never had a bad tasting Pronghorn. Cooked rare they're great.
Worst I've had was a rotten black bear. |

Goose was the worst and one of the best. I treated my first wild goose like it was farm raised and it ended up dry and nasty. Later I had a friend show me how to cook them right and they've been great since.
jimbob86 Jigging for squid is fairly popular out here. Squid is another thing that you have to know how to cook. If you do its like very mild clams. Cook them either very very fast or very very slow. An example of fast is to cut them into rings, put them in a colander and pour a pot full of boiling water over them. Toss them in pasta and cream sauce and you're done. Slow would be simmered for two hours with tomato and eggplant. Now pickled jellyfish skin, that's something to avoid |

My mother had never cooked duck before I brought my first ones home. So tough, they were inedible. It was the only bad meal she ever cooked. Even the squirrels I brought home came out better. In the early 1980's, in the jungles of Peru, I shared a meal of some type of stew with the locals. All was well until I saw what looked like a small hand in the pot. Turned out to be monkey.

I have to admit that I once considered eating a coyote, but I could imagine no circumstance in which they'd taste good. Maybe wrapped in tinfoil and smoked... When finished, throw the coyote away and eat the foil

I almost forgot the field mouse,,,
I almost forgot the field mouse.
When we were kids we roamed the open fields south of Oklahoma City. Our code was to cook anything we killed. I popped a field mouse one time,,, Gutted it, stuck it on a stick, roasted it and ate it. I don't remember it tasting especially bad,,, But it sure wasn't good. In ancient Rome,,, Dormouse was a delicacy. Aarond .

Beaver Tail:
When I was a kid I use to read trapper/mountain man books about how great beaver tail was. So I gave it a try, best described as NASTY. Taste like cotton soaked in fish oil.

I go along with meat handling and preparation go a long way.Necks,shins,shanks,braised lowand slow,can be good.
A good example many of us have experienced is beef brisket.Go ahead,sear the outside and serve it medium rare.I doubt anyone will finish their serving. But it can be superb. I had to learn about antelope.I did a couple on my own in high school.I had some to learn,and those lived up to antelope's reputation for skunky poor eating.I then learned to empty my refrigerator before opening day. Tag filled,gut immediately,bladder intact.Oh yeah,lung shoot them. Then peel them immediately.Get the hide off.Get it cool. Then I drive the meat home,quarter,and put it in my empty refrigerator. Next,I drive back out to the ranch,enjoy the company,enjoy glassing and watching the rest of the hunt.Watch for coyotes,and at night,watch thesky and listen to coyotes. Antelope tastes remarkably "normal" if you do that.I have not been eating veal,but I imagine antelope is veal-like.Just flour and brown in garlic butter. I have eaten mountain lion.It was very good.I don't hunt them,but,it was offered. Staying with the idea that handling iscritical,I may have a candidate for "bad".I did not shoot or dress these,they were given to me. Little Brown Crane.I tried.but,as I was chewing,nausea began.Could not do it.It had aleachfield/sewage sort of flavor that seemed to emerge and grow as I chewed. |

The stinkiest animal I've ever encountered however was the lion I just killed. That thing's ass end was the most powerful and rank smell I've ever experienced. I'd say his last meal was a skunk (his body did not smell, it was coming from under his tail), and combine that smell and potency with cat crap and that's what he smelled like. Horrible. Skinning and butchering that animal was not pleasant and to be honest if I hadn't heard soooo many good things about lion meat and been looking forward to trying it I don't know if I'd have kept it. Very glad I did, it is truly excellent meat.

Duck, I didn't shoot it and didn't ask what kind it was, but it was nasty.
