By soaking your meat in salt water it draws a lot of the blood out of the meat and blood is what gives deer that gamey taste. I will do this for 3-4 days and every day I dump off this VERY bloody salt water and put fresh salt water back on it. It really makes deer meat have a much better taste and smell. My grandpa party hunts deer with a bunch of guys and they have livestock tank that they fill with water and a salt blocks and they drain this every day and repeat the procedure. They put whole quarters of meat in the tank.He has about 20 guys in their party and they shoot a lot of deer. It is the ticket to making deer taste awesome; trust me on this one.
