The # 1 reason for gamey taste in vinison/wild game is how its taken care of in the field.
If you gut shoot or otherwise spill the contents of the gut or bladder and dont take care of ASAP, if you dont cool it on hot days, Wash it out and clean it, if you throw it on the top or hood of your truck and drive ?????? miles, if you shoot it and dont cllean it for several days,(sounds crazy but I had two guys do this and then get mad becouse I told them just to throw it away. They shot a doe did not field dress it and it was gut shot, 3 days of 80+ weather, did not know how to field dress it.) getting your hands all over scent glands and then working on meat, + some other things will get you real gamey tasting meat.
If you dont know, learn. You will have less "Gamey taste" and not have to do so much covering up of the good natural taste. Its not beef and should not taste the same.
I love it.
