Yes, indeed, taste is mostly a matter of opinion...

A friend of mine disagrees with me about fish... He thinks that lake trout is nectar and ambrosia, but feels that smallmouth bass are not fit to eat... While I like lake trout, I think it can be somewhat "strong" while I feel that smallmouths from cold or cool water are nearly as good as walleyes..

It also matters how you cook it.. I prefer cooking my venison very simply, without a lot of marinades or other condiments..I like the taste of the meat...Medium rare at most for the more tender cuts, like backstraps or tenderloin..

All of my deer have been prepared the same way.. I kill 'em, dress 'em, skin 'em , cut 'em up , wrap 'em and freeze 'em myself... I have had some stronger tasting venison, and it has ALWAYS been from bucks, and nearly always from breeding bucks that were 3.5 years old or older.. Care of game is VERY important, but I have done them the same way since 1968 or so....

Ask 100 hunters that have eaten lots of elk, mule deer, whitetails, moose or caribou if they think that breeding males taste stronger than females..

How about hogs..??... Have you ever eaten an un -neutered boar hog over 100 pounds or so..??... If you have, that is a very good example of males tasting stronger than females
