What animal has the best tasting venison?

On an unrelated note. I went fishing and caught some nice catfish. I will be frying catfish venison fillets this weekend.

You gonna soak your venison on ice in a cooler?

I’ll play.

Close race between axis and oryx for me. Don’t know if I could tell a difference on a blind test. Would love to try caribou, moose, and nilgai just haven’t had the chance yet. I tend to believe it has much more to do with the specific animal and the preparation, but generally speaking I would give the nod to axis.

Best steak I ever had that wasn’t beef: bison; now I’m sure I’ve broken the rules of the thread.

Wow...the fact that some people can distinguish beyween 12 different kinds of venison is impressive. I'll eat it and enjoy it and take your word for what it is. If I've killed it and had a few beverages in the cooking process, it's all excellent!

In your opinion what’s the best venison excluding Elk and Moose? Feel free to say one of those, but then add your next favorite. I personally think the bigger the animal the better the venison. What say you?

Mule deer after the elk. It's close.

Scimitar horned oryx don’t know if it’s considered venison though.
Axis
Red Deer .

Well, we are sticking to venison being from deer species...in this order...
Moose
Axis
Sika
Whitetail
Mule deer
Elk
If you included other species, oryx would be under moose. Antelope would be under elk.
