Iam a big fan of pronghorn, elk and moose well before any deer. Tough to beat a grass fed thick Ribeye however. I will say the easiest thing to give away is elk meat. Hands down. People will straight up stalk you for that. They come over and it is " hey uh I know you just got back from out west, got any of the good stuff." Iam convinced this is why the elk herd has not done better than it has here in TN, but you don't hear about it.
