Breechplug,
I've hunted and eaten both Muleys and Whitetails for the past 30 years. I can't tell the difference once prepared.
What's surprising is that the prairie deer, eating good pasture grass out West are much fatter and healthier than crop land deer. The old " corn fed " deer is not the best. They like good grass. You should see the layers of fat on them as you skin them out. I've seen 2" of fat on the back above the spine. It's amazing.
