Huh-huh. That dang tarsal is real sweet smeeling from a rutting buck.
I shot a 5 pt p/y whitetail a few yrs back during the rut, swollen neck and huge body, that thing stunk as bad as my ex's cooking as I hauled him out.[:'(]I knew that thing was going to be some bad eating meat before I even processed it, but It actualy was one of the best eating deer I had ever gotten. Last yr during the last weekend of deer season I had to pick up my rifle and leave my bow at home just so that I wouldn't be eating tag soup and I shot a young 3pt mulie. It had a strong taste, but to me it wasn't near as good as any white-tail that I've gotten, it didn't taste bad, but it just tasted strong and I have shot whitetails in the same general area where I had shot this mulie and I'm sure there eating the same groceries. You figure?
