I also believe that taste is different from different parts of the country. When deer are eating soy beans and corn verses what they eat in the woods make a big difference. Even moose eating out of the swamps verses eating out of the broccoli fields up north makes a huge difference.

Back to the subject.. I feel if it’s legal to help get deer out of those southern swamps then it shouldn’t be an issue. We are all sportspeople that enjoy our way of hunting. Here only bears are allowed to be hunted with hounds that’s is other than coons, bobcats, and coyotes. Coyotes here run deer quite often. The only difference that I have noticed is how tough the deer can be when eating it. That includes young or old deer. That toughness comes from being chased around threw out the year and not just from one season. How long a deer is let to hang also plays a factor in taste and toughness as well as taste… But, to each their own. If it’s a legal way of hunting then so be it..
