When I was a kid growing up in rural CT, I at least tried about anything that could be shot or trapped at least once (No Armadillo's though) Of all the non traditional game I have tried, a young woodchuck that has been feeding on clover or grain all summer is very good. A friend I grew up with, who introduced me to coon hunting with dogs, used to always bring em home for his mom to cook. She made a heck of a stew with them.
