That's strange to me. I've heard others say the same thing, but I would rate it among the worst birds I've ever eaten. We can blame the cook, I suppose.

Everyone is different.

I’ve never had much Sandhill, nor consistently. Maybe, it is just luck, but high heat seared, pinkish on the insides of a not too thick breast fillet. Just some sea salt sprinkled after it’s fairly thin sliced across the grain. We eat it finger food style, I guess not really as a meal. It’s a nice side dish to a game sampler type spread, I would say. I don’t think it’s ribeye, but I think it’s enjoyable, probably comes down to preference.

I’ve seen a fair bunch of nesting Sandhills, so the ones I’ve eaten, may not have done much migrating. It’s a huge contrast to diver duck, for my taste buds. I absolutely can’t get enough wing shooting Scaup, but I suppose it’s a good thing I don’t run into many, way down on the table fare list for me

These white wings were very good.


Feel the stag Macleod!




Rabbit?


I like all of it for what it is.

Grilled sheep loin is pretty special.
Might be the rarest, and possibly the most delicious.

Shanks from deer, antelope, or elk, braised in liquid for a long period. When the shank breaks down, it is wonderful eating.

Hard to beat bacon wrapped Dove but last week I Smoked a Splatchcock goose with candy-bacon over the breast. It was superb. Moist, Smokey meat, crispy skin with that candy bacon on top. Served with wild rice and grilled asparagus.

I'm with Daryl on the shanks...





Served over rice with a nice Red.....not bad at all.

I can't eat red meat anymore because of my Gout. But I made some Elk burgers one time years ago in french onion soup. My gosh were they ever good. And pheasant.....oh yeah!!

I had catfish for the 1st time in something like 30 years the other day. Freshly caught and with a couple of decent size fish (3/4 lbs), it was pan-fried in vegetable oil and was shockingly good.

Nothing wrong with a fried catfish. I prefer it to cod. That said, I don’t turn down cod.

Best,
Ted
