I too love the taste of deer meat just the way it is. Yes it can leave a waxy type of taste that lasts and lasts.. But, that only is because you had left some fat on it. My mom used to cook the ribs in a roaster in the oven. They were mighty tastey but that waxy taste stayed around for a while. It was and still is something I can live with when it comes to stuff like that. My stakes however I will trim all the fat off from them.

Now when it comes to bear meat forget it! That taste I can not become accustom to so I will not hunt for a bear.. Simply put if I do not like something there is no real sense in hunting or shooting it.
