Quote from Jim Zumbo's "Amazing Venison Recipes"- " one of the worst tasting animals I'd ever taken was a caribou in B.C. during the rut... the guide warned me the meat would be so strong even the dogs wouldn't eat it...he was right. Compared that with one taken two months earlier in late August...was outstanding, as delectable as any animal I'd ever eaten". Seems with caribou timing is everything.

there is no subsitute for quality
