Most all are fabulous when prepped and cooked right.

Bear I have to have prepped for me, I have a hard time skinning and cutting bear, looks like a giant human.....

Bear- yikes?, rattlesnake- double yikes!! I assume Rattlesnake tastes similar to eel?

Cannot get Antelope or Moose in NZ, Water Buffalo sometimes available, but pricy.

Haven't tried Opossum yet- protected in Australia & a pest here- and riddled with TB.

Would like to try Wallaby, again, protected in Australia & a pest here- I'm told that they are fast & difficult to shoot.

There are many eatable birds in NZ, but most are protected. Boiled mutton bird is a favourite for the Maori (when the Germans overran a warehouse used by the New Zealand Army in Italy in WW2, they accused the white man off forcing the Maori Soldiers to eat Seagulls, not realising that it was Mutton Bird & a delicacy!) Never tried it- doesn't look to appetising to me. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sooty_shearwater
