I had some frozen years ago but I think fresh would be a completely different culinary experience.  I didn't care for it much but that ain't saying much...It was probably the cook (me) :P

Game meat is all in the prep before freezing or cooking. It's got to be kept on ice for a week and bled-out before processing or you get that 'wild, gamey flavor. But some folks like it that way, though I ain't one of them.

Love me some deer sausage....

Maybe that's it PegLeg.  I didin't put it up, someone gifted it too me.  It had a real strange taste.  I love the elk jerky I buy on occasion.  Maybe I'll give it another try.  Blackwing sells elk, bison, ostrich and several game birds as well.

Any meat from beef to venison is best if it's hung to age for several days. I believe the right temperature is above 32 F but below 40 F. I remember when we had home-grown corn-fed organic beef quartered and hanging in the garage for what seemed like a week or two. Bacteria and maybe some other microscopic critters partially digest it before we do and that makes it tender. Also if a game animal runs a long way before it dies it will be gamey. Lactic acid builds up in the muscles just like a person when you run far enough to feel the burn. Other that that it just needs to be bleed out and hung, although some people like to throw a pair of venison backstraps in the frying pan while it still warm.
""It may be laid down as a primary position, and the basis of our system, that every Citizen who enjoys the protection of a free Government, owes not only a proportion of his property, but even his personal services to the defence of it, and consequently that the Citizens of America (with a few legal and official exceptions) from 18 to 50 Years of Age should be borne on the Militia Rolls, provided with uniform Arms, and so far accustomed to the use of them, that the Total strength of the Country might be called forth at a Short Notice on any very interesting Emergency." - George Washington.

Couple years ago at deer camp in the U. P. the neighbors came over with warm backstrap that was cooked immediately in the fry pan.  Simply the best.  What made it even better was it was the neighbor's 15 year old son's first deer.
