I mean it all depends on section of animal, but meat is expensive as hell these days. Climate change and they trying hard to get people to stop eating meat do to factory farms and my sister says we can cut down but she refuses to give up her steaks.
Problem is when you buy cheaper stuff its loaded with fat and gristle. My brothers marinades cannot save that. We had another BBQ with neighbor and was very pleasant. He made homemade french fries and threw on some steak and cut them into chunks thinking lets eat like cave men, no forks or knives. A couple of chunks nice and tender but this the meat that has the stringy. Fat.
It does not melt in your mouth. We all love that kind, tastes so good, but this stuff mixed with skin or something. No forks or knives, meant I was going to tear my teeth out trying to rip this meat apart. The last piece I had a couple of nibbles. I am like hell no. I will have no frront teeth if I try to rip this stuff apart. I had trouble with my bare hands giving it to the dogs because they just swallow it whole.
I am pretty sure why you see on Mountain men and stuff they just burn the crap out of it when they camping in the wild. This way they can actually eat it.

Yeah my brother explains everything, you cannot fix a rough piece of meat though. He tries because does not want to offend my sister and she not really offended because we take chances on trying to find good meat at cheaper prices.

When you see someone on some TV show burning the crap out of wild game, it means the person doesn't understand how to cook over an open flame. As long as wild game is hung upside down and the blood drained out of the carcass before it is skinned, then there should be very little "gamey" taste and the meat, while not always tender, if cooked right, will be edible.
Someone who is experienced at cooking over a campfire knows to let the part of the fire you want to cook over die down to coals before you start cooking your wild game... then it won't be burned and any seasonings you've rubbed into the meat isn't burned off and it has a chance to flavor the meat.
You can always add more wood to the coals after cooking your meal if you need the fire for warmth or to help keep wild animals at bay during the night.
