I will keep this short as I am at work. (aren't we all)

I was just wondering what different game animals tasted like?

Elephant
Cape buffalo
Javalina (wild hogs)
Alligator

And any others you might want to comment on.

Good.

Well... mostly good...

Elephant - Tough, well actually the only elephant I have eaten was biltong so its bound to be tough. Don't know about fresh Elephant as I have never shot one.

Cape Buff - Yummy

Javelina and wild hogs - two different animals. I can not cook a Javelina to save my own arse. Wild hogs I have found to be either very good or very bad. In addition to this I might add I have found a trend in the bad ones - they were all young sows. Never had a big boar that was bad, never.

Aligator. I think it is fatty and chewy. I don't particularly like it.

Just my opinion.

It has been twenty years since I last had 'gator, but I remember the meat being like shrimp. It was like a large block of meat that was all shrimp. It was cooked like shrimp scampi, and was delicious.

Gator: Try the fried gator at Papados Restuants, man its good..

Buffalo when fat on green grass is akin to the best beef, when lean and things are dry it's simular to a used tire...

elephant is pretty much something I can live without short of starvation, rates right up there with a yellow fatted Zebra..

Mt. Lion was a surprise, its plumb good...fried.

Forgot Javalina, I like it bar b qued over mesquite coals, but then a monkey would be good over mesquite....

You have to be carefull cleaning a Javalina, very carefull how you cut out the musk gland and not get any on your knife or hands.
