[QUOTE="nicholasjohn, post: 2103614, member: 109113"] Around here ( southwest Washington) it typically stays in the 40's at night, and we've seen frost on the rooves only twice this winter. There was snow in the air ( but not on the ground ) once so far. It's a rainy region , but we do get plenty of sunny & warm weather even during the winter. You're right about everybody's palate being different. I've never had a "rank rut buck" that tasted bad - just a few that were a bit strong, I think because they didn't hang. Ditto for does sometimes. But if you think they taste rank, I'm sure not going to argue with you. I agree with your implication that the tarsal glands aren't the big deal a lot of guys make it out to be. I think that's just folklore. As for killing enough deer to believe you, I think I've killed enough of them to know what I believe. I killed a huge eastern Washington mule deer last November, way too big for two guys to drag. It didn't hang at all, due to the 65 degree temperatures, and was not strong tasting at all. It was fat as butter, and if anything, was a little light on flavor. A lot of that depends on what they've been eating, and this one had ben munching down in the crop circles along the river, where the main crop is mustard. They chow down on the greens, and then climb up into the brushy draws to bed down. That's where we get them. Maybe they don't all taste that way, because there are other variables in the equation.
