Very interesting. I ate mule deer at a game feed. At least that was how it was labeled. And it was very good. With our deer here in Wisconsin, their taste is all dependent on where they come from and what they eat. A southern deer eats, corn, soybeans, alfalfa, oats, all the grain crops. In the northern end of the state they eat grass, acorns, and only the corn people bait them with. Totally different taste to them.
You really want a strange tasting whitetail is shoot a swamp buck.
