The easiest big game species to hunt is Antilocapra americana, the Pronghorn Antelope (not a true Antilocapridae but as close as you can get on this side of the pond).  If what you need for Haggis is lung tissue with a strong gamey flavor, I wonder if Antilope lights would work?  The meat is not the same flavor as that of mutton (and I can not eat mutton personally ... too many summers spent working sheep ranches in extremely rural southwest Wyoming), but I wonder if the lung tissue would make a passible Haggis?

There's a VERY old tradition of making haggis with various forms of venison innards, so I don't see why not. I can't imagine Robert Burns turning up his nose at it.

Doesn't sound like it. You may have a Nyquil medicated, feverish brain, but it doesn't seem to have affected your reasoning. Here's hoping the Nyquil helps.

And to you and yours, Malkin!
