It's too bad you had a bad experience with game. I have had bad game in the past at friend’s places and I know what you mean, but the stuff in my freezer has converted lots of people into loving the stuff. It's flavour depends who, where, when, and how you handle the game. The deer I harvest eat grass and seed crops similar to cattle rather than sagebrush and twigs which tend to taste the shits. Keeping it clean, dust free and into a cooler ASAP makes a huge difference.
Anyways, I hope one day you get the chance to try a decent cut of venison.
Oh, and good on you for the wild salmon.
You're talking to a guy that loves to fish too
