Funny you should mention that Elk was not good. I've had it a few times, and I can't get used to the taste either. Moose and Deer, on the other hand, are fantastic. Maybe it was the way I prepared it.
I don't have more experience than a lot of hunters on here who can comment but I've eaten all wild game and it's ALL in how you prepare it, and what cut of meat you're eating (like any other meat). I find Elk to be the least gamey and most like beef, with moose only slightly more so and deer fairly gamey - though I find trimming most of the fat to help with that. Bear is an acquired taste, quite gamey and gross but when cut with pork and made into sausage, quite nice!
Someone can correct me but the gamey-ness flavor tends to come from the fat, so trimming the fat always helps - to me, anyways. Also, all of these meats are much leaner than beef and dry out QUICKLY. You've got to keep an eye on it or it'll be jerky!

Karma for the chickens.
Eating coyote meat? Not in this lifetime. As far as waste goes, ever go to where a coyote carcass has laid for a few days or weeks?
Don't shoot them if you don't want them wasted. Instead, get set up in a pasture during calving time and watch them eat a calf as it is being born.

Ain’t that the truth, chickens will pick a carcass clean of any meat really fast. It’s pretty impressive to watch them go to town.
I find how you handle the meat while you’re dressing, skinning and quartering makes a big difference in how it will taste as well. Keep it clean and get all the hair off it before you hang or let it rest before it’s cut and wrapped makes a big difference, the little things all add up, like not using the same knife to remove the tarsal glands on the rest of the meat.

No thanks, I'll pass.
Don't recall having coyote, but cougar and lynx were regulars at our rod & gun club game banquet for many years, black bear sausage and ham and even roast grizzly when we could get it. Lynx is similar to dark meat on a turkey, cougar is very much like pork and mountain grizzly is best of all, even better than mountain sheep. Probably we never tried coyote because nobody would cook it!
A few years ago, there was a restaurant in Edmonton that was caught using coyote meat, so maybe a few of us have actually tried coyote without knowing it in our take-out or delivery orders.... tastes like chicken.......
Ignorance is bliss. I'm sure any fancier of Asian take-out, hash a stash of it in their colon.

For the Sioux, killing and cooking a dog was one way to show respect for an honoured guest. Coyote's just a dog with bad press and poor social skills.
Meat is meat to me, up to the point of eating a fellow hominid. Won't eat monkey, ape, or folks. But coyote? Hell, why not? Gophers are just lil' subterranean cows.

Been there, tried that, only once, EVER.
The only thing I have eaten that is worse is crow. Thinking about it now I can still taste the lingering nastiness of somewhat greasy coyote meat....yech! And it was 15 years ago, so that should tell you something about the relative power of the experience.
Make sure you cook it well, you can get all kinds of nasty parasites from coyote meat.

Id asked couple years back on an american knife forum if anyone has eaten possum .. well, it started quite a frackus ! At the end, they concluded that it was absolutely unedible..
. Much like our merganser ducks.. unedible
I suspect a coyote wouldnt be far off of that

I spent a bit of time in the middle of Mainland China a few years back.
I was informed that they ate dogs there. I simply told my interpreter:
If you feed me dog, just don't tell me, I'll be fine. So whether I ate dog
there or not, matters little. I did enjoy my sojourn there. As for Coyote,
I think I'll pass, thanks. Dave.
