[QUOTE="memtb, post: 1729494, member: 75451"] Just relating an observation of mine.....A tale of two mule deer. Many years ago I killed a pretty decent Mule Deer Buck, appearing to be in decline, worn teeth, white “grizzled” face, and appeared to have a neck “swollen” by rut.... best tasting deer we’ve ever had. A few years later, late season doe/fawn season, I head shot a doe (appeared young and healthy) while she was feeding....instant death. After she was processed ( by us), packaged, and frozen...we later planned on deer for supper. We couldn’t stand the smell, opened the house windows (December in Wyoming), and ultimately threw away all of that processed deer. We later also, threw away the cast iron skillet, the meat was cooked in. Old age does not automatically deem the animal undesirable! Also to note, years earlier the family had killed a moose in the same area as the doe deer....worst moose that any of the family had ever had. I know that with bears, the diet often determines the taste of the meat. Perhaps it was “bad” water or some form of vegetation of the area that “tainted” the taste of game taken from there! memtb [/QUOTE]
