To be honest, I don't know...I've been eating deer for over 45 years...I grew up eating deer, squirrel, rabbits, quail, doves, etc...I hear folks that don't hunt talk about it but it's all good to me...
Now, we also grew up butchering our own cows and pigs...I don't ride around with a cow in the back of the truck for 5-6 hours to show my friends either...
