The only thing we could use it for was lasagna but I had to mix it with moose and beef to make it tolerable. Every other elk I've ever had has been awesome.
My aunt has a bison farm and she brought a bison roast for dinner at my grandma's once. . .they cooked it up, and normally my grandma and aunts are great cooks, HOWEVER, I think I would rather have eaten my leather camp slippers! There was no amount of gravy to cover that taste. They had almost 2/3 of the platter left and they fed it to the dog. . .the dog picked it up, ran away and burried it.
I've also had bbq alligator, I think a tire tube would have been softer. . .

Always sound advise, when in doubt, cook it in bacon. You could put bacon on a bumper and it would taste good!

LOL at the analogies!
