When I had an eccentric husband who wouldn't eat 'conventional' meat, I had an extra 10' freezer for the sole purpose of stocking game when in season.
I could get a deer carcass three times a year, and quail all year round, but pheasant and mallard ducks had to be got when in season and stored frozen.
The rarest game bird I ever got was a wood
cock (not wood
pidgeon vermin) and it was only big enough to serve one - he assured me it was delicious
