Bear meat is chewy but ok if well cooked and in a robust stew. Rattlesnake does taste like chicken. Quail, some ducks, band-tailed pigeon, dove, grouse, sandhill crane, pheasant, ostrich, pronghorn antelope, javelina, elk, bison and venison are good. Venison liver from a fresh kill is delicious. I like rabbit - not jack rabbit - but not squirrel. Never tried any moose or wild goose. A hunting buddy once shot a mountain lion. The meat was inedible, just awful. This year a man I know drew a permit and shot an African Oryx at White Sands. Meat not very good, so he ground it up with beef to make burgers.
