For eating there is nothing better than a young doe, next comes a young buck, third comes a doe, the older a buck gets the tougher and gamier they get. Now if the weather is right and I can let them hang for 7-10 days even an old buck is good eating. Remember you can not eat antlers. Another thing I have noticed is a buck in full rut is a lot stronger than a pre-rut buck or a post rut buck.
