There is some true trophy hunting in North America... bear and sheep/goats... some bears simply are inedible because they eat rotten fish and sheep/goats aren't all that tasty.Owen, my friend, it's late on Friday so I'm going to give you a pass on your maligning of sheep meat. I'll just say that many Alaskans consider Dall sheep the finest of wild game meat, and I'm one of them. And if I ever have the chance, I'll fry up a bit of backstrap for you. You'll sample that sheep, and perhaps a bit of whiskey to loosen your tongue, and I'm sure you'll agree that sheep is mighty fine. Cheers!
Interesting... my uncle was a guide in the Yukon when he was younger so I had a fair bit of sheep growing up. I never found nearly as good as the typical cow moose that we also ate lots of. It's been close to 15 years since I've had any though.
I gotta agree with Culley that the best deer is a pre-rut Blacktail... young spike/forks being tastier than the bigger animals.
My absolute favourite meat is still a berry/grass bear in the spring. Three months before the season starts!
