You missed the boat then. Wild game is awesome to prepare and eat.

I always tell my wife and kids "To be the best, you have to eat the best." Eating a duck is like eating the Olympic marathoner of the animal world. Good deer meat is some of the best protein you can eat. If it tasted bad to you then you probably prepared it incorrectly, i.e. over cooked it.

Animal blood is sweet, when the blood is gone the good flavor is gone with it. I grilled some geese a couple of weeks ago. I marinated it in Olive Oil (thats all) and grilled it. I cut it thin and served it and no one could tell that it wasn't flank steak, until I told them.

I can't wait for late muzzle loader.
