Lets see if we can get a best wild game table fare thread going.

I have always heard, Axis

Which is why I was able to finally schedule an Axis hunt later this year

Ive never had it personally

Less go

Domestically,

I’m a fan of elk, axis and nilgai. I would say Sika would rival axis and may be slightly better.

I’ve also been very impressed with the black bear I took in June. Meat has been very well flavored

My choices are elk, axis, pronghorn, and simitar oryx. Not sure which one I prefer over the other.

Eland is probably the best game meat I have had. Blackbuck is awfully good too.

Oryx, axis, elk, nilgi, mule deer, pronghorn, whitetail

In my order of preference:

Eland/axis
gemsbok/oryx
elk
nilgai
springbok
pronghorn
kudu
wildebeest
whitetail/mule deer

Haven’t eaten a lot of any of them but out of whitetail axis mule deer prong horn elk and sika I would put elk at the top and the others in a 5 way tie.

Quail. It goes way down hill from there.

We’ve killed two aoudad this year and to my surprise the backstrap and hind quarter steaks have been delicious seasoned like fajitas or any other steak.

I’ve eaten elk, axis, black buck, aoudad, oryx, and whitetail and to be honest, I don’t think there is much difference in any of it. If you can cook or learn how to cook it, it all turns out great

Elk and moose are my favorites. Bison and Axis is hard to beat too.

Red stag then white tail and mule deer.

Eland.

Easily, Elk. But sandhill is sneaky good

Elk, Axis, pronghorn if they have been eating good grazing are 3 of my favorites. Moose, caribou and whitetail are good as well.

Lets not forget he small game though, rabbit and quail are great on the table.

Does bison count? Would top my list very closely followed by Kudu, Elk, and Eland.

If we are counting fowl, Sandhills, pheasant, quail and grouse.

Out of the 4 legged variety I like Elk the most. But I would rather eat dove poppers over anything else.

Elk
Axis
Pronghorn
Black Buck

Quail
Nilgai
Bluewing Teal
Squirrel

Personally, I think Eland is the best game meat on the planet. After that, for stuff commonly found in Texas I would say Axis, Oryx, Elk/Red Deer, and Bison. On my trip to Africa earlier this year, everything was very good, but Springbok schnitzel and Zebra tenderloin stood out above everything else (except for the Eland of course, but that's really not a fair comparison).

Sika is more tender, but I prefer axis for flavor. Both are very close in my opinion. I did try gemsbok recently in burger form and thought it was great.

Elk and pheasant.

I Always forget about pheasant.. good call.

Elk hands down! Even Colorado tree huggers that I’ve met love elk meat.
Pheasant is also great!

The mule deer I killed 2 yrs ago was the best deer meat I’ve eaten. He ate a lot of alfalfa and that may be why he taste so good.

Quite a few listed here that I haven't had. Of the ones I have had I'm going, in order, moose, elk, axis, mule deer, whitetail. Honorable mention to black bear and mountain lion. I don't recommend bobcat.
