Ideas Needed: How to Prepare Wild Game

Foodies,
I have a food request:  how to prepare wild game.
 
I have a freezer full of Elk meat that Nathan shot last fall.  I would like to know how to:
 
crock pot a roast like for a Sunday dinner
seasonings that work best for it
Elk recipes
Any special tips on bottling the meat?
How about using the ground meat... any cooking considerations/alterations?
Can I just substitute the ground elk for ground beef?
 
Elk is a very lean meat so I know it doesn't cook the same way beef does, and I am skittish to taste test seasonings on my own, I'd rather hear from the experts... like Bro or Sister Adams or Bro or Sister Wright or any other hunter out there!

So if you have ideas, or better yet, if you would like to teach a class on how to prepare wild game, please comment!
