RE: a deer hunting question
Right on Skeeter, very well put.
Bambi is a cartoon. Even the best marinades still make cartoons taste, well, like paper.
Some guys are very selective about the size of deer they will shoot as they prefer to be able to carry the animal out when hunting in swampy areas where you don't want to drag the meat thru the nasty water and such.
I prefer a large, mature animal myself, but the smaller ones do tend to be tender.
