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. Nemo
