[QUOTE="mrbb, post: 2581843, member: 11837"] I have killed both mule deer and white tail from the SAME area, seen them in fields and creek bottoms together, bot tasted just fine but like all things, diet can alter flavor, just as what happens from the time an animal is dead till its butchered, all that can effect taste or quality of the meat how its butchered too can matter,, just like how its pepped, handles and cooked before eating! then there is also AGE of the animal in itself, that can effect TASTE or tenderness! same can be said for sex of the animal, BOTH male and female have times when hormones are higher or lower, scent glands a flowing, or making contact with meats from hands that handled them and so on LOTS of things effect taste of a animal we shoot and kill! I would NOT be hunting MATURE animals period if quality of meat was my concern ! I'd be targeting the young, that will have more tender cuts of meat. but I doubt many will travel far or spend a LOT of $$ on hunting weapons and supplies and assorted costs to go hunt small young animals! Like it or not, we all (or most of us I bet) some sort of a trophy hunters, be it if we target ONE class of animal, be it mature, nice antlers or size/age critter! we all set standards we follow, as to just shooting the first LEGAL thing we see! yes some do shoot first legal thing we see, but a LOT of us if honest DON"T! IMO< nothing wrong with it any way you go about it as long as its done legally! TASTE again is not a 100% deal on "X" species deer is better to eat than the other too many variables to have a standard IMO! they can all be good or lesser or BAD! [/QUOTE]
