Yesterday night we had a potluck at work. One of our avid hunting coworkers brought some bison meat. It is apparently an Aboriginal delicacy. Now I must confess the thought of eating an animal that he had shot was not appealing, but I began to wonder what it would taste like. I have recently tried gator, rabbit and frog legs. They all seem tame in comparison to the large frightening animal. But I have made the decision to try it in the near future. I have heard it is slightly gamey but is similar in ways to beef. Personally I find camel meat to be gamey. I'm ready to try. SO my question is, is it ok to eat from an Islamic perspective?
Is Bison Haram?

I believe they’re halal, they’re super close to cows

Camel meat is very gamey. As are deer, duck and the animals people typically shoot for sport around here, but I’ve never tried bison. I love deer meat in jerky form. It gets rid of the gamey taste that way, and it’s delicious with all that seasoning. Aren’t Bison protected? I thought I heard they were in danger.
What does deer meat taste like?
does it have a similar taste to goat meat or beef?

Very tough and dry, just super gamey. It’s the texture that’s different. But if you marinate it properly, it takes the edge off. I still don’t like it in normal meat form, but I actually crave/miss it now and again in jerky form.What does deer meat taste like?
Would venison fall under deer meat? I've had it before. Thought it was mystery meat.

Yes. Venison is just another word for it.

In Kenya, they eat everything. They are lucky, everyone associates Chinese people to this behaviour but many Africans eat everything. Even humans
It's funny cause out of the three, rabbit was scariest for me to try.
