There’s a brown paper bag in my freezer right now whose sole purpose is to keep me from seeing the last two pieces of Antelope meat from last fall. If I see them, I’ll want to eat them, but I’m keeping them in reserve so I can compare them side by side with black bear meat. I’m trying to figure out which of the two is my favorite.

Simple Gourmet: Tangy BBQ Sauce For Strong Meat
It’s funny, but the meats we buy at the store just aren’t very flavorful. By contrast, wild meats have a huge range of flavors and some folks just aren’t used to that. You may have had the experience of someone saying they don’t like the gamey taste of wild meats, or maybe you’ve got a deer in the freezer that ran a marathon before dying and just has more flavor than you’d like. This simple spiced barbeque sauce is good for those stronger meats.
