It must be what you grew up on. I grew up in WY and ate mostly mulies. I think I would take one of those over a MN whitetail. That said, now that we have our own cows that get fattened on corn, I think that have an odd taste compared to the ones I always had that came off grass. I prefer elk over anything, and antelope is kind of iffy. Some are great but some I could definately do without.
