I would not say its the best eating game meat there is and by no means is it the worst, some are good tasting and some are just dang right strong, I am sure as previously said that it has to be properly cared for and get it in the cooler ASAP, but that goes with any game, "Is how its handled" before you freeze it. Sometimes hunters under estimate the heat on the priaries and at times it gets boiling hot in the afternoons and then at night your freezing you arses off. Did it this year. A lot of these ranchers beg hunters to shoot these lopes (lots of does and fawns) as they been eating his alpha he puts out for his cattle and they probaly won't make it through the winter and those are some pretty tasting ones if your wanting to pop some food, but if you want a trophy, the sage would be your better choice most of the time, I guess the same would apply to mulies, but get there quik cause they wise up fast. A lot depends on what they been eatin. You are what you eat.
Skeeter, I be waiting for those lopes on this side of the border when you miss as I'll be in the Sweetgrass area waiting for them just along the Alberta border. Good luck
Oneye, there is an ole timer that ages his meat the same way here and he wanted me to do it on my game this year as he has a restaurant and a cooler for me to hang it, it may be perkectly alright to do this as some actually do it, but I'll pass. I'll cool it 5-7 days and then its in the freeze. Bobby
