Deer,
Elk,
Black bear,
Racoon,
Skunk,
Fox,
Bobcat,
Beaver,
Badger,
Rattle snake,
Iguana,
Garrobo,

Word of caution, bobcat is disgusting (at least if you eat it raw) the racoon tasted like pork cooked in apples
My all time favorite is badger salted and roasted over a fire, it has a flavor all it's own, and it is a good one.

The absolute best meat I ever had was mountain lion, chance came up many years ago and I jumped at it, to this day I'd love a freezer full of it

That reminds me! In that neighboring state which borders Indiana I heard that it takes 3 citizens to eat a dead possum! Why? Well 2 have to watch for traffic!!!

Whoo boy, I can sure enough make myself miserable on the fruits of a good frog hunt.

There's a bayou just south of me that builds bully frogs with legs the size of KFC drumsticks.

Agreed. As a younger man, when we couldn't gig any, we could get them from the Dandy Inn on Fridays. Good eats, great memories.

Papa always said " If it didn't eat you eat it " We young boys did our best !

I don't think anyone mentioned coyote. I cant recommend it as fine cuisine, but I have eaten it. Lynx is much better.

 

[Rifleman1776]

Had to think about this. So far recollect: deer, squirrel, rabbit, beaver, groundhog, frog, crawfish, fish, duck, antelope, bison, maybe more. So far, still like domestic beef the best.

Didn't kill but recently ate some alligator. Very white and tender but completely tasteless. Won't say never again but not motivated to try again.

 

[Berta Newton]

I am not a hunter, but from family and friends: Mountain lion, buffalo, elk, deer, moose, Pronghorn antelope, rattlesnake, rabbit, frog, Paddle fish, sage hen, bear, Big Horn sheep. Favorite recipe for deer: Put 1 cup flour and 1 tsp cinnamon in a bag. Cube up meat and drop in bag. Shake well. Fry up in hot grease. Yum!

I haven't gone through the whole thread (yet) but were Bullhead catfish mentioned? How about barbecued Alligator gar?

Horned pout a New England Saturday night favorite.

Among the different animals the Lewis and Clark expedition ate offered by the various tribes was dog. However Capt Clark never could bring himself to like it

Seaman, a Newfoundland Dog, was a member of the Lewis and Clark expedition. He was the only animal to complete the entire three-year trip. Seaman was purchased in 1803 specifically for the expedition by Captain Meriwether Lewis.

"Lewis seems to have been happiest when he was alone on shore with his gun, his notebook, and his dog Seaman."

Lewis and Clark's Corp of Discovery ate over 200 dogs, bought from the Indians, while traveling the Lewis and Clark Trail, in addition to their horses, but Seaman was spared.

My wife and I have had Newfoundlands the entire 33 years of our marriage, 5 at the most at the same time. We just lost our last one, Maggie, today. Gonna have to start locking the doors to the house at night now, without her standing over-watch for us.
