Yeah, we do not have a drilled well, ours is dug. So far it has been good except the sand. Got a filter put in.

Our well was not drilled deep enough. We came from the big city and knew nothing about wells. Water was filled with iron - if it sat in a glass - it settled to orange on the bottom.
Luckily 4 years later we got city water - which of course costs plenty but it looks clear, and no smell to it .

So that wild game meat store I think I mentioned earlier? We bought some stuff to ship to my grandparents but we also bought some stuff for us too.
We got them a small venison roast, pheasant, rabbit, and some elk stew meat. My mom asked what elk was like or what was the difference and the owner and this other guy, another customer, both said it was really good, better than venison, she said she would eat elk before venison, etc. etc. and the other guy said he made this delicious elk stew recently and everyone in his poker group loved it. So we got it. But then the other cuts of elk were more expensive and the elk roasts, although pretty cheap, she said were huge, like 8 or 9 pounds, so we just got the stew meat. But yeah. I hope they'll like it. Wish I had thought to ask that guy for his recipe though haha it sounded really good
But my grandparents are 82 I think and my grandpa has gone deer hunting opening day (and used to hunt other stuff too, always had bird dogs) every year for forever, since he was like 12 maybe? and this year was the first year he didn't plus we have wanted to go to this place forever and were in the area so we figured we would stop by. We actually didn't even know it was where it was but drove by it on the way to the concert last night lol and then this morning I was on the website and figured out they have a restaurant so we decided to try that too and loved it. But anyway, my grandpa's eyes and hands and everything are going and he has some other problems so I don't think he can shoot anymore or at least can't hunt. I think he still goes to the range. Plus no one goes with him anymore. My cousins or uncles used to go. I think it was hard on him not going this year so hopefully the game meat will cheer him up hah
Anyway, so then for us we got pheasant breast, rabbit loins, elk stew meat (all the same stuff we got them), plus duck breast.
But I have never had game meat or even lamb or cornish game hens (though my parents say I've had lamb and venison so idk) so I don't know if I'll like it but I wanted to try it. Oh and I have had bison burger too actually cause they sell it at the grocery store. But that's the extent of my experience. My mom got a wild game cookbook recently before we even found this place
BUT
I wanted to ask if anyone has any good recipes for the meats listed above?
If it's TL;DR the meats are pheasant breasts, rabbit loins (or fillets? Labeled fillet, called loins in store), boneless Pekin duck breast, and elk stew meat.
And here's pictures just cause.

I have a little of everything currently, 12, all wethers, a few Nigerian dwarf, and various dairy boys, la mancha, alpine, sable saanan, and toggenburg. I used to have more Nigerians, and some pygmy, and bred a few for quite a few years but they were always a bit too wild, so I went to bottle raised dairy kids, now they are a pain in the rear. Always in my face, and they push me around too much.
The bowl is working out really well btw
Boys can be destructive even when snipped. I always liked the girls in most cases. You practically have to build a fort to keep bucks from escaping! I will be having all girls except for brief buck visits when needed, and of course the kids will stay until sold!
My parts came for making the heating bases, so there is another task for me. I can't believe how much they want for them, like 50 bucks. Absurd!
I would love goats but it would mean building a whole separate area which we can't do right now plus another type of animal to feed.
If I did I thought I wanted ND or dairy wethers but not if they're such pains! Haha are all dairy breeds like that?
Maybe I could get girls but don't want kids or milk so can you keep them and not do that? They're way more expensive here though so not worth it

If you have all girls, no kids. No kids, no milk. They are not as expensive if not registered.
