Anyone who cooks with bacon grease or wrapped in bacon likes bacon more than they do the taste of wild game. I have a game receipt book from an Austrian chef who cooked in 5 star restaurants and himself was a hunter. I actually took him on a goose hunt many year ago.
What I am most impressed with is he did the basic cooking of all wild game in oil, salt and pepper, perhaps in a bread crumb wrap but that is about all. The scrumpstuosness was in the sauce that was cooked with the remains in the pan and sparingly dribbled over the meat after.
What I really leaned was if you think wild game should taste like chicken or beef go buy chicken and beef in Safeway and leave the wild game to those who can appreciate it.
My receipt for sharptail was to soak it in a brine mixture overnight then brown it in a sauce pan with salt and pepper and finish on a slow heat in a frying pan with mushroom gravy. If you can make your own mushroom gravy all the better. If you can't then Campbell soup is poor but useful alternative .
