Really ?
I kinda assumed since you posted it, that you had. Chicken fried squirrel & rabbit are really good. But as with all wild game, the trick is the preparation ( field dressing, aging, and cooking ). I have known people that have tried to prepare wild turkey the same as a store bought domestic turkey. Does not turn out the same. I love turkey. But cooking domestic turkey & wild turkey are not the same. Around here, everyone cooks wild turkey by deep frying in peanut oil. Man, that is wonderful. To me, deer is OK. But if you want a treat, see if you can get some elk meat. I had some at my uncles in New Mexico that some indians on the res gave him. Uncle butchered it, put most into steaks, and a lot into BBQ. We had the BBQ on buns with cole slaw. The BBQ was great, but the steaks on the grill were wonderful, better than a Porterhouse !!! Better than Texas Roadhouse.
Check your local butcher shops. Many can order stuff like this. Some places might be a bit pricey, but worth it !
Enjoy !
Regards
