I can only speak of the difference between Iowa whitetails
and Arizona mule deer....and there is a huge difference[].
It's hard to describe the difference, however all friends and
family agree the mule deer tastes much better. I'd have
never guessed that to be the case??? I've been told by
some long time bowhunters of both species that soy beans
leave a bit of 'after taste' in the whitetails. Whatever it is,
even my sister-in-laws and my mother love the mule
deer...and will not touch any whitetail venison.
