to me mule deer dont taste any different then whitetail. but then thats in comparison of mule deer buck to whitetail buck never had mule deer doe Id imagine its as good tasting as a whitetail doe. Ill eat it all but really prefer doe meat for steaks usually use the buck meat for burger since the meat is much tougher then that of a doe's. im with james B I dont use marinade on game meat either I like meat to taste like meat I might put a little fresh ground black pepper on a deer steak for a little zing.

but also if you need to marinade your game meat in order for you to eat it then you'd better do it. because if I ever hear of any of you not eating what you kill you will lose alot of respect I may have had for ya[:@]
