I've always found that most wild game flavor depends on what they've been eating. Venison that was munching on a field of peas was my fave. Runner up was an old doe that was feeding on sunflowers.
I love the flavor of tame duck, but don't even think of bringing wild duck for me to cook! YUCK.
Raised in pheasant country, and when I was a kid, the game wardens would bring pheasant to the school cooks from big confiscations from hunters that went over limit...or whatever. Corn fed pheasant that is done properly...oh boy!
Good morning!
