I really doubt this statement. I have harvested many dozens of deer and some were long and arduous tracking jobs. Proper game handling and butchering always has provided some great venison without any gamey taste. Get rid of any bloody and damaged meat along with all the fat and sinew and the meat tastes like meat.
