This site has wild game recipes and is sponsored by Field and Stream and Purina. From that partnership one can make several possible assumptions.

Be sure scent glands are removed or the meat will be inedible. Then you have to marinade or otherwise tone-down the gaminess of a lot of wild meat. Soak in something (milk, vinegar, wine?), or as in a couple of recipes at that site, simmer the meat and change the water then grill it.

I used to pick up road kill to skin out for their skins and pelts for my work as a park naturalist, and was collecting information for an article (that I never got around to finishing). I gave up skinning them when I learned more about some of the diseases they carry.
