Some people shy away from game meat in general, citing a strong or gamy taste. Others refuse to eat wild game for a number of real or perceived reasons.  Generally, wild-game meat, including pork, is low in fat and cholesterol and is considered by doctors and nutritionists to be healthier than beef or domestic pork.
