I can't say that I'm big on game myself, but during one summer in North 
Carolina the people I stayed with were.  Aside from the obvious caveat that
one should clean the game asap after it is killed, they gave me a tip on
preparation of venison.  After the piece to be cooked is cut, they would
soak it in milk overnight (sometimes buttermilk).  Apparently this reduced
the gameyness and tenderized the meat.  You might also check some of the
older editions of "The Joy of Cooking".  I seem to recall that the author
dealt with a variety of game as a matter of course.
